Objective: To estimate intra- and interrater agreement and reliability with regard to describing ultrasound images of the endometrium using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. Methods: Four expert and four non-expert raters assessed videoclips of transvaginal ultrasound examinations of the endometrium obtained from 99 women with postmenopausal bleeding and sonographic

Warming due to global climate change has led to various natural anomalies, such as increases in forest fires, water level rise and droughts. A region being affected heavily by climate change is the Colorado River Basin, having an arid, semi-arid climate with the Colorado Mountain snowmelt supplying Colorado river, which flows throughout the basin, accumulating water in Lake Mead Reservoir. The Bas

Teknologikunskap som tillämpas för diagnostik och behandling inom sjukvården. Medicinsk teknik utnyttjar och tillämpar de senaste rönen inom tekniken för att utveckla instrumentering, sensorer och givare, diagnostiska och terapeutiska apparater, medicinska bildsystem, artificiella organ och andra medicinska system. I den medicintekniska utvecklingen strävar man mot patientvänligare, säkrare och tiBiomedical Engineering in the academic field related to how technologies are applied to diagnostics and treatments in healthcare, and includes utilization and applications of the latest technology to develop instruments, sensors and transducers, diagnostic and therapeutic devices, medical imaging systems, and artificial organs. The development of medical devices strives towards patient friendly, s

In this group we study how metastatic processes depend on suppression of the immune response and how the immune system actually instead promotes breast cancer metastasis. The research has a strong translational character with clinical collaborations and primary material as base in all projects. The focus is on immunosuppressive cell populations and metastatic processes in breast cancer. Understand

Our research is focused on the regulation of the complement system in health and disease. Complement is crucial part of innate immunity and thus protects host from infections and contributes to removal of dying cells. We study involvement of complement in pathology of rheumatic and inflammatory diseases as well as several types of cancer. Further, we investigate strategies developed by bacterial

Aim: The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is a flagship species for global freshwater ecosystems. As one of the most widely distributed Palearctic mammals, the otter used to inhabit most provinces in China. However, after decades of relentless hunting and habitat degradation, the Sanjiangyuan Region is now one of last strongholds for this species in China. Currently, there still remains an enormous kn

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cerebral pares (CP) drabbar drygt 2 barn per 1000 födda och är den vanligaste orsaken till rörelsehinder hos barn och ungdomar. På latin betyder CP "förlamning från hjärnan" och är ett samlingsnamn för ett följdtillstånd efter en skada i den omogna hjärnan under dess utveckling från fosterstadiet t o m 2-års ålder. Skadan är av engångskaraktär men de olika symtomen föräCerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions associated with motor disabilities, that are very heterogeneous, i.e. symptoms, severity, associated impairments, functional outcome and needs. The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the prevalence and gross motor function and to evaluate and adapt measurements in children with CP. The prevalence in Southern Sweden was 2.4 per 1000 c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan 1900-talets början har jordens medeltemperatur ökat med ca 0.9 grader, vilket bland annat resulterat i mer extremt väder, varmare världshav och att världens isar smälter med översvämningar av kustregioner som följd. Det är numera accepterat att denna temperaturökning med stor sannolikhet beror på människans utsläpp av växthusgaser, ex koldioxid (CO2). KoncentratioThe thesis work was performed with the aim of increasing knowledge and understanding of the combustion of oxygenated fuels and intermediates. This was accomplished in two steps: experimental measurements of the laminar burning velocity to expand current databases and development of a reaction mechanism. In the first part of the project, the laminar burning velocity of oxygenated fuels and interme

This thesis investigates the role of advanced atmospheric inversion techniques and ∆¹⁴CO₂ observations in improving the accuracy of regional CO₂ flux estimates across Europe. Accurate quantification of fossil fuel emissions and biospheric fluxes is essential for understanding regional carbon budgets and supporting climate policy. However, significant uncertainties persist due to limited observatio

BACKGROUND: Qigong includes training for body and mind, one method is Zhineng Qigong. Scientific literature on qigong for chronic low back pain (LBP) is sparse. This study aimed to investigate feasibility including evaluation of a Zhineng Qigong intervention for pain and other lumbar spine-related symptoms, disability, and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic LBP and/or leg pain

Matavfallskvarnar är ett smidigt sätt att samla in matavfall på. Med nya system behöver matavfallet inte transporteras till reningsverket utan kan istället lagras i tankar för att sedan köras direkt till biogasanläggningen. Här produceras biogas av matavfallet genom rötning. Biogas är en förnybar energikälla som bland annat kan användas som fordonsbränsle, uppvärmning och elproduktion. Genom att To collect, treat and use food waste is desirable in society in order to recycle and efficiently use all resources. One stage of one of the Swedish environmental goals is to collect and treat 50 % of the food waste biologically in year 2018. A useful product from this treatment is biogas, which can be used for fueling vehicles, heating and producing electricity. Biogas could be produced from food

Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this

Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo

Virtually from Lund Observatory, March and April 2021 Scientific motivation The characterization of stellar properties is crucial to studies of Galactic archaeology, exoplanets, and stellar structure and evolution. To ensure the success of these science pillars, a well-established and well-understood set of reference stars is needed. Current and future large surveys of the Milky Way are set to det
