One of the basic principles in the European policy to cope with the growing challenge of water scarcity is that water demand management should be considered before opting for additional water infrastructure. Die implication of this is that water must be treated as an economic good, which means that the "user's pays' principle" has to be implemented, At the same time there is much political consens
The Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies was created in 1997 as the result of a special government initiative. The Centre's task is the encouragement and furtherance of research in Sweden concerning modern East and South-East Asia, including the rapidly changing societies, developing economies and political institutions in the region. Building upon existing strengths at Lund University in

Endovascular repair has become the primary treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysms over the past decade. The favorable results as well as technical evolution have led endovascular repair to include fenestrated and branched technology for complex juxtarenal, suprarenal, and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. These grafts are, however, extensively customized and patient tailored at present precludi
Minimalinvasiv hjärtkirurgi definieras som hjärtkirurgiska operationstekniker där man avstår från en full median sternotomin (längsgående delning av hela bröstbenet). Hjärtoperationen sker då istället med alternativa exponeringstekniker under det att man använder konventionell hjärt-lungmaskin. Beroende på diagnos utförs antingen operationen med video-assisterad, eller robot-assisterad, endoskopi Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is defined a cardiac surgery with heart-lung machine, but without full median sternotomy. Depending on the underlying disease the surgical procedures can be performed through a 4-6 cm mini-thoracotomy on the right side with either video-assisted or robotic-asssited endoscopy or through a partial split of the sternum. We believe that minimally invasive facilitate
Varje år tar cirka 1500 personer sitt liv i Sverige. Det är en minskning sedan 1980-talet men de senaste femton åren har minskningen stannat av. Enheten för klinisk suicidforskning arbetar med olika områden inom suicidforskning med det övergripande syftet att bättre förstå hur suicid kan förebyggas. •Område A: Psykopatologi och riskfaktorer för patienter med risk för framtida suicid. Vi undersökeSuicide research is of importance to find new strategies to prevent suicide. Each year approximately 800 000 people in the world, and 1500 people in Sweden commit suicide. The suicide rate has not decreased over the last 15 years. The Unit for Clinical Suicide Research cover different areas within this field. • Area A: Psychopathology and risk factors. Our group investigates how psychopathology
Preeklampsi är ett allvarligt graviditetsrelaterat tillstånd som årligen drabbar 10 miljoner kvinnor världen över. Etiologin är ännu okänd och diagnosen ställs baserad på moderns kliniska symptom: högt blodtryck och någon organpåverkan som debuterar efter 20 veckors graviditet. För närvarande är förlossning den enda ”boten”. Preeklampsi medför en ökad långsiktig risk för utveckling av hjärt-kärlsjPreeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related condition that annually affects 10M women worldwide. The etiology is largely unknown and diagnosis is currently based on maternal clinical symptoms: high blood pressure and organ damage manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation. Delivery is currently the only cure. Increased long-term risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke after preeclampsia point to i
We challenge the question of how environmental (diet, physical activity, alcohol) factors modify genetic associations put forward by us and others, in recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) of lipoprotein traits, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity and aim to utilize this information in intervention studies and in development of prediction models. We work to further improve genetic C
Our main focus is understanding peripheral pathology in HD and investigate its importance for disease pathogenesis and biomarkers. Our work is based on the hypothesis that insights into peripheral pathology in HD will improve knowledge of key pathogenic mechanisms, possibly providing new biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets.
BackgroundA novel non-invasive method for generation of pressure volume loops (PV-loops) using brachial blood pressure and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has recently been presented and validated (1). The non-invasive nature of this method enables calculation of PV-loops in large patient cohorts previously not feasible due to the need of invasive measurements.PurposeThe purpose of

Vår forskning fokuserar på personer med allvarlig och långvarig psykisk sjukdom och deras livssituation i samhället. De omfattande omstruktureringarna av det psykiatriska vård- och stödsystemet har inneburit långtgående krav på en utveckling av nya kunskapsbaserade vård- och stödinsatser. Detta för att främja hälsa och ett meningsfullt liv i samhället för den här gruppen och deras anhöriga. Många Our research focuses on individuals with severe and long-lasting mental illness and their situation in society. The extensive restructuring of the mental health and support systems towards community-based service systems brings forth far-reaching requirements for developing new knowledge-based health and support interventions. Such efforts are needed to favour and support health and a meaningful l
Vår multidisciplinära forskning fokuserar på personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar (såsom Parkinsons sjukdom och kognitiva sjukdomar), inklusive personer som har en ökad risk att utveckla sådana sjukdomar. En tidig upptäckt möjliggör tidigt stöd och rehabilitering. Vår forskning identifierar tidiga tecken, konsekvenser, prognostiska faktorer och behov av åtgärder. Forskningen avser även att ökOur multidisciplinary research focus on people with neurodegenerative diseases (ND), such as Parkinson’s disease and major neurocognitive disorders (dementia). We also include people at risk of developing ND. Early detection facilitates timely support and rehabilitation. Our research aims to determine early signs, consequences, unmet needs, and prognostic factors. We also aim to gain an increased
Genom att kombinera kunskapen från kliniskt aktiva läkare och forskare tror vi att vi snabbt och effektivt kan få kunskap om de spektrala egenskaperna hos hudcancer och jättecellartrit och översätta detta till avbildningsverktyg för detektion av tumörgränser och diagnostik. Genom att mäta blodflöde under och efter periorbital rekonstruktiv kirurgi strävar vi efter att uppdatera kirurgiska teknikerBy combining the knowledge of clinically active medical doctors and researchers we believe that we can rapidly and effectively gain knowledge on the spectral properties of skin cancer and giant cell arthritis and translate this into imaging tools for tumor border outlining and diagnosis. Through monitoring of blood flow perfusion during and following periorbital reconstructive surgery we aim to up
