Mjukdelssarkom utgör en heterogen grupp av ovanliga tumörer och innefattar ett 50-tal olika subtyper med varierande klinisk bild och prognos. Två tredjedelar är höggradigt maligna tumörer och en tredjedel av patienterna avlider i tumörsjukdom. I Södra sjukvårdsregion är vården av patienter med sarkom centraliserad till SUS/Lund. Sarkomgruppen i Lund utreder och behandlar patienter med sarkom och Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumours with some 50 histopathologic types with different clinical characteristics and prognosis. Two thirds are highly malignant tumours and one third of the patients die due to metastatic disease. The care of sarcoma patients in the Southern Swedish health care region is centralised to the Lund Sarcoma Centre. We have a large data ba

This study examines the ideology of the nation-building process in the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. The key features of this process are uncovered through a discourse analysis of school textbooks published in the People's Republics and in Transnistria, and of the 'Russian Donbas' ideology. This is compared to the history and interpretations of the concept of 'Novorossiya'. Thi

Ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment of milk forms a deposit or fouling in the processing equipment that is mineral-based with an enclosed protein network. This study addresses the fundamental mechanisms that control the removal of this deposit. For this purpose, the structural and compositional changes during the cleaning process have been studied. The structure analysis was performed with scan

Urban inequalities are one of the most important questions in contemporary times. One urban area that is struggling with inequalities is Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden. The new comprehensive plan for Malmö from 2018, states that a socially balanced city is necessary for further development of Malmö, to tackle inequalities the plan states that all citizens need to be able to shape society

Abstract: Background. In clinical heart transplantation, the most common method used to preserve the donor heart is cold flush perfusion with a cardioplegic solution, e.g. St. Thomas Solution. This method gives safe preservation for up to 4 hours. Methods. In organ baths, vessels segments of porcine coronary arteries were used to study the smooth muscle contractility and endothelial dependent an

Maligna lymfom är tumörer utgående från immunsystemet. De innefattar ca 50 olika undergrupper med vitt skilda kliniska förlopp. Målet för vårt arbete är att förbättra överlevnad och livskvalitet för patienter med maligna lymfom, också med hänsyn tid långtidseffekter av behandling, samt att förbättra metoder för diagnostik och prognostik för dessa sjukdomar. Vår grupp har sedan många år bedriviThe area of research for our group is malignant lymphomas – aiming for the improvement of the quality of life and survival of these patients. The paradigm behind most of current health care is evidence –based medicine. The evidence basis is primarily derived from clinical trials, but data can also be extracted from alternate sources such as national or regional data registries. The objective of ou

Kompetenscentret AdTherM inriktar sig på analyser av termiska processer i industriella tillämpningar, inklusive termo- och elektrokemisk energiomvandling. De flesta utmaningar för industrin inom detta område är generiska och baseras på samma fysiska mekanismer. För att utveckla detta forskningsfält måste både experiment och modeller förbättras och samordnas. AdTherM är en plattform som är centreraAdTherM targets analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications, including thermo- and electrochemical energy conversion activities. Most challenges for the industry in this area are generic and based on the same physical mechanisms. To develop this field, both experiments and models need to be improved and coordinated. AdTherM is a platform centered around the models and methods used t

Background. Few studies have examined the association between individual-level socioeconomic status and access to kidney transplantation. This study aims to investigate the association between predialysis income and education, and access to (i) the kidney waitlist (first listing), and (ii) kidney transplantation conditional on waitlist placement. Adjustment will be made for a number of medical and

Self-assembly processes play a key role in the fabrication of functional nano-structures with widespread application in drug delivery and micro-reactors. In addition to the thermodynamics, the kinetics of the self-assembled nano-structures also play an important role in determining the formed structures. However, as the self-assembly process is often highly heterogeneous, systematic elucidation of

Knowledge management (KM) in the engineering change management process is crucial for any manufacturing enterprise. Increasing complexity triggers an increasing demand for systematic management of information and knowledge. KM is of strategic importance to a successful management of an enterprise, especially when the key staff changes. Systematically gathered, analyzed and interpreted professional

This chapter focuses on lessons from the arts to qualitative research, especially, what reflection on jazz improvisation may bring to qualitative research. One lesson concerns the dynamics of different kinds of authenticity. Just as jazz improvisation can be authentic in more than one way, so can research. Another lesson concerns the dynamics of observation and interpretation. Just as jazz improvi

Efficient scheduling is vital for railway maintenance, which is increasingly challenged by rising train traffic and infrastructure wear. Trackwork often necessitates the reduction of train speeds and the partial or complete closure of tracks. Despite advancements in maintenance technology, the efficiency of planning processes, especially the repetitive tasks of planners and the adaptation to unfor

This article is rooted in the understanding that global ideas of liberal democratic peace and the gendered dynamics of peacebuilding need to be confronted. The aim is to explore the challenges of localizing liberal democratic peace by exploring efforts such as those undertaken by women’s organizations in Bosnia-Herzegovina to promote a gender-just peace. The Dayton Peace Accord was the new “social

As the global energy transition progresses, a range of drivers and barriers will continue to shape consumer attitudes and behavioural intentions towards emerging low-carbon technologies. The innovation-decision process for technologies composing the residential sector such as hydrogen-fuelled heating and cooking appliances is inherently governed by the complex interplay between perceptual, cogniti

Vi utvärderar behandlingsmetoder för svårbehandlade psykiatriska tillstånd, med målet att förbättra behandlingsresultat och klinisk praxis. KetECT-studien, som jämförde ketamin med elektrokonvulsiv terapi (ECT) vid unipolär depression, har bidragit till att ketamin nu är ett alternativ för vissa patienter. Blodprover och kognitiva data från KetECT kommer att analyseras för att identifiera biomarköWe evaluate treatment methods for refractory psychiatric conditions, aiming to improve outcomes and clinical practice. The KetECT study, which compared ketamine with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in unipolar depression, has led to ketamine being considered an alternative for certain patients. Blood samples and cognitive data from KetECT will be analyzed to identify biomarkers that can predict tr
