Hospital. Not a positive word. Children + Hospital. Create an even more unpleasant feeling. When you arrive to the Children´s Hospital in Lund, you enter a dark but wide corridor. A busy doctor may scurry across the fl oor and disappear behind an alarmed door. If the reception is unmanned, the grey metallic venetian blinds are closed. It is hard to understand where to go. Even a grown-up can feel
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening infections in new-borns and may cause invasive disease, stillbirth and preterm delivery during pregnancy. While no licensed vaccine exists, maternal immunization might protect against neonatal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We assessed the safety and immunogenicity of a prototype vaccine consisting of the fus
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) remains a preventable cause of acute viral hepatitis, with an estimated 159 million new infections and 39 000 deaths in 2019. Although improved care and hygiene reduced deaths, global incidence rose by approximately 4%, driven by increased symptomatic cases and population growth. The availability of safe and highly immunogenic vaccines and the absence of chronic carriage ma
Den svartvita flugsnapparen är en ganska vanlig häckfågel i fjällbjörkskogen, men som i Ammarnäs befinner sig i randzonen av sin utbredning. Den häckar gärna i fågelholkar och blir därmed lätt att studera. På så sätt bidrar flugsnapparna i Ammarnäs sedan 1965 med viktig kunskap om hur faktorer såsom klimat, födotillgång, rovdjur, konkurrens och miljögifter påverkar småfåglarnas häckning i fjällbjö

The importance of proper mutational analysis of BRCA1/2 in individuals at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is widely accepted. Standard genetic screening includes targeted analysis of recurrent, population-specific mutations. The purpose of the study was to establish the frequency of germline BRCA1/2 mutations in a group of 134 unrelated patients with primary ovarian cancer.
The group B Streptococcus, an important cause of invasive infections in the neonate, is classified into four major serotypes (Ia, Ib, II, and III) based on the structure of the polysaccharide capsule. Since the capsule is a known virulence factor, it has been extensively studied, in particular in type III strains, which cause the majority of invasive infections. Two cell surface proteins, alpha an
The evaluation of chondroid lesions requires full integration of clinical, radiographic, and pathological data; tumour typing is often a challenge for the diagnostic pathologist. Although a variety of chromosomal abnormalities have been documented in chondroid lesions, the potential usefulness of cytogenetic analysis remains unclear. This study has critically reviewed and analysed 117 karyotyped s
Purpose: Several scoring systems have been developed to distinguish between benign and malignant adnexal tumors. However, few of them have been externally validated in new populations. Our aim was to compare their performance on a prospectively collected large multicenter data set. Experimental Design: In phase I of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis multicenter study, patients with a persis
Our aim in this study was to explore women's responses to reported ad-hoc demands for unauthorized user fees during pregnancy and childbirth in Luanda, Angola. Ten focus group discussions were conducted and data were analysed using grounded theory. Women were found to apply six strategies as they "endeavored to cope with demands for unauthorized user fees" (core category): (i) blowing the whistle,
Background and purpose: To reduce relapse risk, Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is part of conditioning regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric acute leukemia. The study purpose was to evaluate clinical practices regarding TBI, such as fractionation, organ shielding and delivery techniques, among SIOPE affiliated radiotherapy centers. Methods: An electronic survey was
BACKGROUND: Suicide attempts have been shown to be less common in older age groups, with repeated attempts generally being more common in younger age groups and severe attempts in older age groups. Consistently, most studies have shown an increased suicide risk after attempts in older age. However, little is known about the predictive value of age on repeated and severe suicide attempts for accomp
In 2014 the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Swedish Reference Group for Antiviral Therapy (RAV) conducted a review and analysis of the state of knowledge on the duration of follow-up after exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Up until then a follow-up of 12 weeks after exposure had been recommended, but improved tests and new information on early diagnosis motivated a re-evaluati
Instruktioner till studenter inför läsårsstarten 2020 Välkomna till Konsthögskolan i Malmö läsåret 2020/2021! Undervisning på campus och på distans Glädjande nog har vi nu möjlighet att återgå till campusförlagd undervisning på Konsthögskolan men eftersom Coronapandemin är långt ifrån över så är direktiven fortsatt distansundervisning i så stor utsträckning som möjligt. Sammanträden eller möten ko
Beginning from June 2019, the streets of Hong Kong have been turned into a theatre of protests. Together with their banners and umbrellas, protesters took to the street to protest against the proposed extradition bill that allows the government to send suspected criminals to mainland China. This ongoing movement is the largest anti-government movement in the city’s history, and it is also the firs
The aim was to confirm a previously defined prognostic index, combining a proliferation marker, histological grade, and estrogen receptor (ER) in different subsets of primary N0/N1 chemo-naïve breast cancer patients.
