Minimalinvasiv hjärtkirurgi definieras som hjärtkirurgiska operationstekniker där man avstår från en full median sternotomin (längsgående delning av hela bröstbenet). Hjärtoperationen sker då istället med alternativa exponeringstekniker under det att man använder konventionell hjärt-lungmaskin. Beroende på diagnos utförs antingen operationen med video-assisterad, eller robot-assisterad, endoskopi Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is defined a cardiac surgery with heart-lung machine, but without full median sternotomy. Depending on the underlying disease the surgical procedures can be performed through a 4-6 cm mini-thoracotomy on the right side with either video-assisted or robotic-asssited endoscopy or through a partial split of the sternum. We believe that minimally invasive facilitate

Forskargruppen "Barninfektioner och global barn- och ungdomshälsa" främjar forskning och utbildning. Det primära forskningsområdet är pediatrik och mer specifika inom området barninfektioner, Kawasakis sjukdom, global barn och -ungdomshälsa samt migration. Forskargruppen samarbetar med andra forskargrupper både nationellt och internationellt. Forskargruppen är involverad i utbildningen av läkarsPediatric infectious diseases and global child health is a research group promoting high quality research and education. The primary area of research is Pediatrics and more specific in the field of infectious diseases, Kawasaki disease, global child health and migration. The research group collaborates with research teams both nationally and internationally as well as being involved in the educa

Aims: The need to combine active employment and parenthood is a reality for many parents today. Knowing more about which work place factors are associated with better or worse health could help employers to form a work environment that provides optimal conditions to maintain or increase health and work engagement in this group. The aim of this study was to explore possible associations between dif

Varje år tar cirka 1500 personer sitt liv i Sverige. Det är en minskning sedan 1980-talet men de senaste femton åren har minskningen stannat av. Enheten för klinisk suicidforskning arbetar med olika områden inom suicidforskning med det övergripande syftet att bättre förstå hur suicid kan förebyggas. •Område A: Psykopatologi och riskfaktorer för patienter med risk för framtida suicid. Vi undersökeSuicide research is of importance to find new strategies to prevent suicide. Each year approximately 800 000 people in the world, and 1500 people in Sweden commit suicide. The suicide rate has not decreased over the last 15 years. The Unit for Clinical Suicide Research cover different areas within this field. • Area A: Psychopathology and risk factors. Our group investigates how psychopathology

AI och digitalisering är en snabbt växande del av utvecklingen av nästan alla ingenjörssystem och kommer att förändra samhället och industrin i grunden. Profilområdets spetskunskap kring teknologier, metoder, algoritmer och mjukvara för att möjliggöra robusta, säkra, effektiva och lärandebaserade system är helt nödvändig i samhällets digitala omställning.AI and digitalization are a rapidly growing part of the development of almost all engineering systems and will fundamentally change society and industry. The profile area's cutting-edge knowledge of technologies, methods, algorithms, and software to enable robust, secure, efficient, and learning-based systems is essential in society's digital transformation.

Preeklampsi är ett allvarligt graviditetsrelaterat tillstånd som årligen drabbar 10 miljoner kvinnor världen över. Etiologin är ännu okänd och diagnosen ställs baserad på moderns kliniska symptom: högt blodtryck och någon organpåverkan som debuterar efter 20 veckors graviditet. För närvarande är förlossning den enda ”boten”. Preeklampsi medför en ökad långsiktig risk för utveckling av hjärt-kärlsjPreeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related condition that annually affects 10M women worldwide. The etiology is largely unknown and diagnosis is currently based on maternal clinical symptoms: high blood pressure and organ damage manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation. Delivery is currently the only cure. Increased long-term risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke after preeclampsia point to i

We challenge the question of how environmental (diet, physical activity, alcohol) factors modify genetic associations put forward by us and others, in recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) of lipoprotein traits, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity and aim to utilize this information in intervention studies and in development of prediction models. We work to further improve genetic C

Our main focus is understanding peripheral pathology in HD and investigate its importance for disease pathogenesis and biomarkers. Our work is based on the hypothesis that insights into peripheral pathology in HD will improve knowledge of key pathogenic mechanisms, possibly providing new biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets.

The VAT grouping provision in Article 11 of the VAT directive is a recent source of problems for the European Union. Especially the area of cross border head office to branch transactions was in the centre of attention in the recent case law. This thesis investigates the source of these problems and why they appeared in the first place, by analysing the provision and the notions used in Article 11

Accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody (nAb) is critical for assessing the immunity levels after virus infection or vaccination. As fast, cost-effective alternatives to viral infection-based assays, competitive binding (CB) assays were developed to quantitate nAb by monitoring the ability of sera to inhibit the binding of viral spike (S) protein to the angiotensin converting enzyme

Vår forskning fokuserar på personer med allvarlig och långvarig psykisk sjukdom och deras livssituation i samhället. De omfattande omstruktureringarna av det psykiatriska vård- och stödsystemet har inneburit långtgående krav på en utveckling av nya kunskapsbaserade vård- och stödinsatser. Detta för att främja hälsa och ett meningsfullt liv i samhället för den här gruppen och deras anhöriga. Många Our research focuses on individuals with severe and long-lasting mental illness and their situation in society. The extensive restructuring of the mental health and support systems towards community-based service systems brings forth far-reaching requirements for developing new knowledge-based health and support interventions. Such efforts are needed to favour and support health and a meaningful l

This thesis explores whether and how rural-to-urban migration alters the Chinese migrant family in the case of divided rural households of 10 male migrant workers. The study relied on in-depth semi-structured interviews with married men, who are fathers, husbands and sons, and who are currently working on construction sites in Beijing. Drawing on Lusher & Robins’(2009) theory of masculinity, t

This thesis investigates the key factors influencing startup decisions to reintegrate environmental sustainability objectives (ESO). By adopting an inductive and deductive qualitative approach the study uses semi-structured interviews to investigate the decisionmaking of five startups that have undergone ESO reintegration. The findings lead to the establishment of a theoretic framework by identify
