Vård av svårt och kritiskt sjuka patienter är avancerad och innebär stöd av vitala funktioner. Användningen av t.ex. respirator och dialysmaskin är livräddande, men innebär också risker för komplikationer f.f.a. sekundära infektioner. Medicintekniska produkter, såväl apparater som förbrukningsmaterial skall vara så säkra som möjligt att använda. Projektet har två inriktningar, båda syftande till pSupport of vital body functions is the essence of the care of severely and critically ill patients. Use of mechanical ventilation and dialysis is life saving but also increases the risks for complications, above all secondary infections. Medical technical devices, apparatus as well as single use articles should be as safe as possible to use. Our group has two lines of interest both aiming at prop

Kliniskt centrum för hälsofrämjande vård integrerar forskning, undervisning och utbildning samt implementering och evaluering av klinisk hälsopromotion. Vår kliniska forskning är gränsöverskridande och syftar till att förbättra patientsäkerheten och hälsan på kort och lång sikt för den enskilda patienten och dennes familj, personalen, hälso- och sjukvården och samhället som stort. Våra aktiviteteThe Clinical Health Promotion Centre integrates research, teaching & training and implementation & evaluation of clinical health promotion. Our clinical research is cross-border and aims to improve patient safety and health benefits on short and long term of the individual patients and their family, the staff, the healthcare and society as a whole. The activities focus on improving prevention, t

Vi är Avdelningen för Datorseende och Maskininlärning (Math-CVML) vid Matematikcentrum, Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Vi bedriver forskning och undervisning i datorseende och maskininlärning i flera olika former. Huvudsyftet med vår forskning är att bidra till den snabba utvecklingen inom detta fält. Vi strävar efter att utveckla matematiska metoder för att hantera olika utmaningar med ett brett användWe are the Division of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Our focus involves both research and teaching in diverse aspects of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Our research aim to actively contribute to the rapid advancements in these fields. We strive to develop mathematical methodologies to address various challenges within this domain. Our work has

Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the intima of large and medium sized arteries. Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is the most common cause of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in the carotids and other major arteries supplying the brain is the major cause of stroke. Cardiovascular diseases caused by atherosclerosis is the most common

OBJECTIVE: To compare the neonatal outcome in planned vaginal delivery and planned cesarean section in term singleton pregnancies with breech presentation in a Scandinavian clinic with a high rate of vaginal breech delivery. METHODS: A retrospective study including 1050 term singleton breech pregnancies delivered at a Swedish tertiary referral center during 1988 to 2000. For 699 patients (67%) a v

Previous studies of limestone beds of mid-Ordovician age from both Sweden and China show that the Earth saw an at least two orders of magnitude increase in the influx of extraterrestrial material approximately 470 Ma, following the disruption of an L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt. Recovered extraterrestrial material consists of fossil meteorites and sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial

Today the use of mobile phones are widespread, and they are often kept in trouser pockets. As the thigh is comparatively less sensitive to vibrations, and vibrotactile sensitivity is diminished during movement, detection of vibratory mobile notications during walking is lower than in a still position. Vibrotactile detection rate is hypothesized to be dependent on gait phase. Method: 28 subjects we

Vår forskning handlar om att förebygga och behandla skada eller sjukdom i muskler/leder/skelett i alla åldrar. Målgrupperna för vår forskning är idrottare eller icke-idrottsaktiva med ökad risk för skada eller med befintlig skada/sjukdom, till exempel i knä eller höft. Målet är att främja livslång fysisk aktivitet. Gruppen och våra närmsta samarbetspartners företräder olika discipliner som fysioteOur research focus is in the area of prevention and management of musculoskeletal injuries and/or disease from youth through to older age. The target groups are athletes and non-athletic populations that either have, or are at high risk of, joint injury/disease, e.g., to the hip or knee. The goal is to enhance conditions for life-long participation in sport and physical activity. We and our closes

In this work the intermetallic systems formed by transition-metals from group 5 to 9 with Ga, In and Zn have been experimentally and theoretically studied in detail. Syntheses, compositional analyses, X-ray and neutron diffraction (single crystal as well as powder) and measurements of physical properties, e.g. magnetic susceptibility and resistivity has been made for all compounds. Electronic-stru

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: There is a lack of large contemporary studies on the management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and the prediction of mortality remains difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of perinatal factors on mortality rate in a contemporary multicenter study. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study. Twelve of 13 Scandi

This comparative study maps and explores planning and designation of official tourism, routes in two countries with quite similar planning traditions, responding to a deficiency in research, on tourism route planning and development. Based on personal semi-structured interviews with, public road planners and managers in Norway and Sweden, the paper illuminates establishment and, management of offi
