Clinical practice improvements based on quality-register data are influenced by multiple factors. Although there is agreement that information from quality registers is valuable for quality improvement, practical ways of organising register use have been notoriously difficult to realise. The present study sought to investigate the mechanisms that lead various clinicians to use quality registers fo

Ny studie vid LU: Vid enheten för Arbets- och miljömedicin, Lunds universitet, bedrivs forskning bla kring hur miljöfaktorer och levnadsvillkor påverkar hälsa och sjukdom. Vi avser att i en serie registerstudier undersöka hur hälsan ser ut hos de föräldrar vars barn kommit till via assisterad befruktning (tex provrörsbefruktning, IVF), både innan och efter eventuella behandlingar.

A powerful neutron source, the European Spallation Source (ESS), is currently under construction in Lund, Sweden (~90 000 inhabitants). Levels of tritium (3H) in urine were estimated in members of the public in Lund and employees at the ESS using liquid scintillation counting, to obtain baseline levels before the start of operation of the ESS.

Our results suggest that genetic predisposition for CAD can predict hospitalization burden and mortality, especially due to cardiovascular causes, independently of traditional risk factors. As the risk conferred by the GRS is partially modifiable, our results may help to reduce societal costs, individual suffering and prolong life. New publication in IJC Heart & Vasculature

Only one out of ten elderly, is dissatisfied with the outcome of LDH surgery. Age, preoperative duration of leg pain, preoperative SF 36 score, and for satisfaction also dominance of back over leg pain, are in elderly factors associated to good and poor subjective outcome after LDH surgery.

A possible connection on vascular basis between impaired kidney function and cognitive dysfunction has been suggested in previous studies. Contradictory results regarding specific cognitive domains have been reported. The aim for this study was to investigate the association between kidney function and specific cognitive domains.

Den 24/2 2020 lanseras LU:s system för datahanteringsplaner, DMP Roadmap. Inloggning sker med LUCAT-id och systemet finns på https://dmp.research.lu.se. Planerna lagras på en server inom LU och rekommendationen är att de inte ska göras publika. De ska däremot bevaras och kan eventuellt arkiveras direkt i systemet.

Despite dramatic improvements in survival, nutrition, and education over recent decades, today's children face an uncertain future. This Commission presents the case for placing children, aged 0–18 years, at the centre of the SDGs: at the heart of the concept of sustainability and our shared human endeavour. Read more here.

For a long time the attention given to the hip fracture patient group was minor and without any certain consideration to their frailty. To improve the care for these patients Skane University Hospital in Lund has during the past 19 years worked actively with developing the care.

We investigated if bone mineral density was related to testosterone deficiency and/or previous cancer treatment in men who were childhood cancer survivors. Men with untreated testosterone deficiency or previous treatment with cranial irradiation were at increased risk of impaired bone health.

This study focuses on two central Scandinavian cities – Copenhagen and Stockholm – that are generally thought to be culturally close but have deviated with respect to cycling policies and infrastructure. Based on a survey including inhabitants of Copenhagen (n = 1110) and Stockholm (n = 1191), this study investigated whether cyclists in Copenhagen and Stockholm experience the transport systems in

In this thesis, an instrument using a broadband light beam for remote sensing of insects was developed. The thickness of a free-flying insect wing was measured at a distance of 85 m and with an accuracy of 2 nm. Insects play a key role in the ecosystem and are essential for biodiversity. Detecting and monitoring the millions of insects in our environment is a major challenge. The use of lasers and

Let me clarify that we are not referring to blood plasma, as that pertains to the field of biology. Instead, we are discussing the fourth state of matter, which can be envisioned as a mixture of electrons, atoms, and excited species. To put it simply, it can be described as an ionized gas or a "soup" of charged particles. Our research group focuses on exploring the applications of plasmas in diffe
