Palliativt Utvecklingscentrum är en del av Lunds universitet och Region Skåne. Vi arbetar med forskning, utveckling och utbildning inom palliativ vård med det övergripande målet att vården av människor i livets slutskede ska ha högsta möjliga prioritet och kvalitet. Detta oavsett sjukdom och var man vårdas.The Institute for Palliative Care is part of Lund University and Region Skåne. We work with research, development and education in palliative care. The overall goal being that the care of people at the end of life should have the highest possible priority and quality, regardless of the type of illness and where the person is cared for.

FYHR A. & AKSELSSON R. (2012) European Journal of Cancer Care Characteristics of medication errors with parenteral cytotoxic drugs Errors involving cytotoxic drugs have the potential of being fatal and should therefore be prevented. The objective of this article is to identify the characteristics of medication errors involving parenteral cytotoxic drugs in Sweden. A total of 60 cases reported

Cerebellar growth is impeded following very preterm birth in human infants and the observed reduction in cerebellar volume is associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. Decreased levels of circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are associated with decreased cerebellar volume. The relationship between preterm birth, circulating IGF-1, and key cell populations supporting cerebellar pro

Previous research suggests that children develop an increasing concern with fairness over the course of development. Research with adults suggests that the concern with fairness has at least two distinct components: a desire to be fair but also a desire to signal to others that they are fair. We explore whether children’s developing concern with behaving fairly towards others may in part reflect a

Vi bedriver forskning och utbildning med inriktning mot funktionshinder och rehabilitering. Målgrupperna är personer med funktionsnedsättningar till följd av stroke, traumatisk hjärnskada, ryggmärgsskada, post-polio och Parkinsons sjukdom samt barn, ungdomar och vuxna med långvarig smärta. Forskargruppen leds av en professor i rehabiliteringsmedicin. I gruppen ingår sju disputerade forskare och seWe conduct research and education with a focus on disability and rehabilitation. The target groups are individuals with neurologic disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injury, post-polio and Parkinson’s disease, and children, adolescents and adults with persistent pain. The research group is led by a Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine and includes seven researchers w

Background and purpose: Motion compensation with MLC tracking was tested for inversely optimized arc radiotherapy with special attention to the impact of the size of the target displacements and the angle of the leaf trajectory. Materials and methods: An MLC-tracking algorithm was used to adjust the MLC positions according to the target movements using information from an optical real-time positio

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common with a global prevalence of 4%. Dietary regimes with a low content of fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyol (FODMAP) or a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) have proven to be efficient. The aim of the present study was to describe the recruitment process for a randomized dietary trial with low FODMAP or SSRD for 4 weeks wi

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

Syftet med Dublinförordningen är att se till att asylansökningar behandlas av endast en medlemsstat, för att undvika fenomenen “asylsum shopping” och “refugees in orbit”. Förordningen består av en hierarki av kriterier för att fastställa vilken stat som är ansvarig, men detta har också lett till principen om ömsesidigt förtroende mellan medlemsstaterna, där alla stater förutsätts ha samma nivå av The purpose of the Dublin Regulation is to ensure that applications for asylum will be considered by one Member State, avoiding the phenomena of “asylum shopping” and “refugees in orbit”. The Regulation consists of a hierarchy of criteria for determining the responsible state, however, this has also resulted in the principle of Mutual Trust between Member States, where all states are presumed to h

Idag utförs en betydande del av den ledande humanistiska och teologiska forskningen i vetenskapliga miljöer vid sidan om traditionella ämnesdisciplinära och organisatoriska indelningar. HT-fakulteterna har därför infört en satsning på forskningsplattformar för att sådana gränsöverskridande forskningsmiljöer ska ges förutsättningar att bygga upp och utveckla långsiktiga interdisciplinära samarbetenToday a large amount of research within the humanities and theology is conducted in academic environments outside of traditional disciplinary and organisational units. The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology are promoting the establishing and development of long-term interdisciplinary collaborations by giving monetary support to five research platforms chosen by an external expert jury.

OBJECTIVES: A combination of surgical and medical approaches may address both the underlying pathophysiological processes and the most threatening symptoms in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). CASE: A primigravida with monochorionic twin pregnancy was referred with signs of TTTS at 16 weeks. One twin was severely hydropic with normal amniotic fluid, the co-twin had anhydramnios. Laser treatme

The mission of the group is to contribute with high-quality research on fundamental issues related to grand societal challenges of globalisation and climate change, such as renewable energy transitions, institutional developments for a global carbon price, and Swedish innovations for sustainability.
