I världen lider flera 100 miljoner människor av autoimmuna sjukdomar och de är ett folkhälsoproblem i paritet med cancer och hjärt/kärlsjukdomar. Vi har fokuserat vår forskning kring en grupp ovanliga men allvarliga autoimmuna sjukdomar, ANCA associerade vaskuliter. Sjukdomarna orsakar en akut inflammation i de små blodkärlen, vilket leder till en snabbt förlöpande glomerulonefrit och livshotande Autoimmune diseases affect several 100 million people world wide and is a tremendous public health problem comparable with heart disease and cancer. We have focused our research to a group of severe autoimmune diseases, called ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) associated systemic vasculitis. The diseases present with acute inflammation in the small vessels and cause rapidly progressive r

In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont

The field of research is to uncover the genetic and environmental etiology of autoimmune (type 1) diabetes, celiac disease as well as narcolepsy. The genetics of the disease is dissected also in the spontaneously diabetic BB rat. Specific autoantibody markers are used to predict the clinical onset of diabetes or celiac disease. Longitudinal studies of children at increased risk allow studies of t

The aim of this thesis is to explore what impacts the IDF’s Military Orders regarding water have on Palestinians in the West Bank, taking international humanitarian law (IHL) and International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) into consideration. Thus, to discover whether or not Israel’s actions are compatible with IHL and treats everyone equal before the law, as stated in ICCPR Art

Enheten för psykiatrisk epidemiologi och folkhälsa studerar ämnesområden som exempelvis psykossjukdomar, suicidologi, beroendetillstånd och neuropsykiatriska tillstånd med klassiska och moderna epidemiologiska metoder. Dessa frågor belyses dels utifrån ett kliniskt perspektiv med traditionella frågeställningar gällande riskfaktorer, utfall, överlevnad och farmakoepidemiologi, dels utifrån ett folkThe Unit for Psychiatric Epidemiology and Public Health studies subject areas such as psychotic disorders, suicidology, substance use disorders, and neuropsychiatric conditions using classical and modern epidemiological methods. These issues are examined both from a clinical perspective, with traditional research questions regarding risk factors, outcomes, survival, and pharmacoepidemiology, and f

Enheten för psykosocial suicidforskning studerar suicidalitet utifrån ett integrerat samhälleligt, psykologiskt och epidemiologiskt perspektiv. Forskningen syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen av de komplexa och föränderliga processer som leder till och påverkar suicidalt beteende, genom att analysera samspelet mellan individuella livsvillkor, sociala relationer och strukturella faktorer. Vi kombiThe Unit for Psychosocial Suicide Research investigates suicidality through an integrated sociological, psychological, and epidemiological lens. Our research aims to advance theoretical and empirical understanding of the complex and dynamic processes that give rise to and shape suicidal behaviour, by analysing the interplay between individual life circumstances, social relationships, and structura

Ambitions and ClarificationsThe book takes its point of departure in the "intimate visions of society" that are significant of contemporary social life. This concept refers to the tendency to apprehend good social relations as personal, close and warm, while bad relations correspondingly are perceived as impersonal, cold, distant and alienated. Exemplary categories, such as closeness, warmth, comm

Forskargruppen bedriver forskning kring förutsättningar och rehabilitering för ett hälsosamt liv där rörelse och aktivitet är i fokus. Forskning som bedrivs i gruppen syftar också till att förbättra förståelsen för påverkan på människans strukturer, funktioner, aktiviteter och delaktighet i omgivande Iiv. Forskagruppens arbete omfattar hela kedjan från hälsopromotion till rehabilitering, genom heResearch within the group concerns conditions and rehabilitation for a healthy life, with a focus on movement and activity. Research within the group also aims to improve understanding of effects on human structure, functions, activities, and participation in society. Research within the group includes the line from health promotion to rehabilitation, throughout the lifespan. Other areas are work-

Med vår forskning vill vi förstå och främja människors psykiska hälsa, aktivitet och delaktighet och bidra till att människor kan leva ett så meningsfullt liv som möjligt och delta i samhället trots psykisk ohälsa. Att utveckla, utvärdera och implementera återhämtningsinriktade insatser som ger stöd i olika livssituationer och miljöer är därför centralt. Vi vänder oss till olika målgrupper såsomWith our research, we want to understand and promote persons’ mental health, activity and participation and as a result help them to live as meaningful lives as possible and participate in society despite mental ill health. Developing, evaluating and implementing recovery-oriented interventions that help in different life situations and in different environments is therefore critical. We address

Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and

Injectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes. We focus on organic electronics that self-assemble directly inside or near the nervous system to form electronic circuits that mimic its structure and organization, enabling seamless integrat

A reliable and valid measure is needed for assessing the psychological symptoms experienced in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Previous research suggests that trauma victims typically experience dissociative, anxiety and other symptoms, during or shortly after a traumatic event. Although some of these symptoms may protect the trauma victim from pain, they may also lead to acute stress, posttra

By use of a batch microcalorimeter of the thermopile type, heat production was measured in isolated populations of human peripheral blood cells exposed to defined immune complexes formed in vitro. It was found that most of the heat production recorded in whole blood after admixture of immune complexes occurs in the granulocytes. Under these conditions small but constantly higher activation values
