Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,

Lunds universitets Historiska museum är en del av Lunds universitets kultur- och museiverksamheter LUKOM. Historiska museet har idag tre uppgifter, att medverka i forskning och grundutbildning, att ta om hand om arkeologiskt material samt att hålla samlingarna öppna och förmedla forskning till allmänheten. Lunds universitets Historiska museum ansvarar för omhändertagandet av arkeologiska fynd fr

Välkommen till Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper, en av sex institutioner vid Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet. Genom vår forskning ökar vi kunskapen och förståelsen om människors hälsa och livskvalitet. Hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser, behandlande åtgärder, vård och omsorg och rehabilitering är centrala forskningsområden. Vi arbetar i nära samarbete med hälso- och sjukvård och kThe Department of Health Sciences is one of six departments at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University. We conduct research within the field of health sciences. Health promotion and prevention efforts, Treatment measures, Health and social care and Rehabilitation are key research areas. We work in close collaboration with health care and municipalities to translate research results into practical

Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är världens vanligaste dödsorsak. Det främsta underliggande tillståndet är ateroskleros: plack som bildas i blodkärlens väggar och kan orsaka akuta komplikationer, såsom hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Genom vår forskning ämnar vi identifiera kliniska metoder som kan hjälpa oss att hitta plack med hög komplikationsrisk, för att i tid kunna ge adekvat förebyggande behandling. Vi vill äveCardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death. The main underlying condition is atherosclerosis: plaques formed in the arteries which can cause complications as stroke or myocardial infarction. Our research aims to prevent complications by identifying clinical methods to detect patients with high-risk plaques to personalize treatment strategies as well as novel mechanisms to use as ther

Existing metastatic disease represents a major clinical challenge. The long-term goal of our study is to gain deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis. We focus on identification and validation of new predictive biomarkers and drug targets that are specifically for metastatic cancer. We recently focus on studying the role of lipid kinases in particular, phosphatidyl

Retention in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care is critical to prevent vertical HIV transmission and reduce morbidity and mortality of mother-infant pairs. We investigated whether weekly, interactive text-messaging improved 18-month postpartum retention in PMTCT care. This randomised, two-armed, parallel trial was conducted at six PMTCT clinics in western Kenya. Pregnant women

Decreased information processing speed (mental slowing) is a known sequelae of many brain disorders, and can be assessed by continuous naming tasks. Functional imaging studies have shown that pause and articulation times in continuous speech are normally associated with different brain regions, but knowledge about such association in dementia is lacking. We therefore tested the hypothesis that per

Hudcancer, inklusive malignt melanom, keratinocytcancer (tidigare icke-melanomhudcancer) och också mer sällsynta hudcancerdiagnoser ökar snabbt i de flesta ljushyade populationer. En hudcancerdiagnos ger inte bara inverkan på hälsoekonomiska mätvärden utan också främst på individens livskvalitet. I vår forskargrupp fokuserar vi på kliniskt baserad och registerbaserad hudcancerforskning men även tiSkin cancers, including malignant melanoma, keratinocyte cancer (formerly non- melanoma skin cancer) and also more rare skin cancers are increasing rapidly in most fair-skinned populations. A skin cancer diagnosis has impact not only on health economics but also on the quality of life of the individual. In our research group we focus on clinical skin cancer research as well as on translational ski

Department of Clinical Sciences Lund/Clinical Sciences Helsingborg (Avdelningen Kliniska Vetenskaper Helsingborg, AKVH) was constituted when Helsingborg General Hospital became part of the Lund University Medical School program 2012. Today, a network of researchers from different specialties are affiliated to AKVH.

High-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) play an important role in mod- ern electronic systems, especially those systems that require high data rates and low power consumption. These converters are essential components in various applications, including telecommunications, medical imaging, radar systems, and wireless communication. This thesis explores four different dynamic comparators to en
