The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation.

Subject-verb agreement in number (3sg - 3pl) in spoken French is a heterogeneous morpho-syntactic domain where number is expressed in some groups of verbs and in some phonological contexts only. The acquisition of this agreement is a long and gradual process (Prévost, 2009). Both children learning French as their first language (L1) and older second language (L2) learners overuse the dominant patt

In this article, in the light of the important epistemological changes in human sciences since the 80’s, which had the merit of clarifying the foundations of modern scientific nature, we focus on the difficulties in classifying the orally transmitted material. We show, that the question is not so much what we talk about, when we talk about genres, but how we talk about it. We demonstrate that the

On May 26, 2021, the European Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR) entered into effect resulting in a major shift in the requirements for assessment of medical devices in Europe. The EU-MDR Cardiovascular Collaboratory (EU-MCVC) was founded to contribute to the development of faster, more efficient, and more effective pathways for innovation of cardiac medical devices. A registry is an organized sys

All the organisms have developed defensive against different (parasites, harsh environmental conditions or contaminants) to which they should face in their environments. To deal with these selective factors, birds have developed defensive mechanisms such as the uropygial gland, which produces a secretion acting as a physico-chemical defensive barrier against a high diversity of ectoparasites and p

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of diseases and disease promoting factors in the population. The cardiovascular epidemiology research group focuses on studies of cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) and heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure or atrial fibrillation. The research is performed in well characterized population-based cohorts, with extensive information

This study presents an empirical approach to the use of imperfect and preterite Spanish past tenses, with state and achievement verbs by Swedish students of Spanish as a foreign language in the levels A2, B1 and B2. The main objective is to establish to what extent the participants link the use of the imperfect and the preterite in relation to state and achievement verbs. The study compares the re

Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.

Unhealthful lifestyles underpin much of the burden of cardiometabolic disease affecting contemporary societies. Our overarching objective is to discover and optimise measurable biomarkers that can be used to stratify patient populations into subgroups that can be treated more effectively with targeted lifestyle therapies, at lesser cost and with fewer adverse events than conventional approaches

Forskargruppschef är docent Simon Timpka. Det övergripande målet för oss i forskargruppen Perinatal och kardiovaskulär epidemiologi är att förbättra hälsan för kvinnor och deras barn genom forskning av hög kvalitet. Vi vill samtidigt erbjuda utbildning av högsta kvalitet för studenter och juniora kollegor genom engagerad handledning, mentorskap, och allmän de-mystifiering av akademin. Vår expertHead of unit is Associate Professor Simon Timpka, MD, PhD. The overarching aim of our work in the Perinatal and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (PACE) unit is to improve the health of women and their children across the life-span through high-quality research. Whilst trying to doing so, we also strive to provide excellent training to students and junior colleagues through supervision, mentoring, and
