Syfte: Syftet med vår studie var att kvalitetssäkra omhändertagandet av barn med tidigt konstaterad unilateral recurrenspares. Vi ville undersöka deras röstfunktion vid uppföljning 5-10 år efter konstaterad diagnos, för att på så vis avgöra om uppföljningen borde se annorlunda ut.

Bröstcancer är av stor relevans i dagens samhälle på grund av dess höga frekvens och mortalitetsgrad. Behandling är härjämte individualiserad utifrån tumörtyp och uttryck av hormonreceptorer. Med upptäckten av en ny receptor, GPR30, som svarar på östrogen, har forskning drivits kring hur denna samverkar med hypoxi, hur det bidrar till tumörcellernas överlevnad samt dess prognostiska och prediktivIntroduction: Hypoxia that accompanies tumor growth induces the expression of hypoxiainducible factor a (HIF-1a), in turn mediating the expression of other genes, including G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), to promote adaption to the hypoxic microenvironment and enable cell proliferation and survival. Nonetheless, this correlation has not been causally explained. Objective: To further inves

Jordarternas utbredning över sydvästra Skåne är ett resultat av Weichselistidens komplexa växelverkande isframstötar, där stora mäktiga kvartära avlagringar finns i anknytning till Alnarpssänkan och Lundadalen. Avlagringarna och deras glaciala ursprung är ett historiskt omdiskuterat ämne. Regionens ytliga jordlager är relativt väldokumenterade men stora frågetecken kvarstår angående avlagringarna The distribution of different Quaternary deposits in southwestern Scania is a result of complex glaciation and deglaciation patterns during the Weichselian, with especially thick deposits in the Alnarp Trough and the Lund Valley. The deposits and their glacial origin have been extensively discussed in the literature. The region’s surficial deposits are relatively well documented, but uncertainties

De så kallade ränteavdragsbegränsningsreglerna trädde ikraft 1 januari 2009 för att få bukt med den skatteplanering med räntor som koncernbolag använde sig av och som inte kunde kommas åt med skatteflyktslagen. Eftersom det även med dessa regler fanns stora möjligheter för koncernbolag att skatteplanera med interna lån skärptes reglerna från och med 1 januari 2013. I den lagstiftningen tillkoThe so-called interest deduction restriction rules entered into force on 1 January 2009 in order to overcome the tax planning regarding interest deductions used by group companies, that was not covered by the Tax Avoidance Act. Since these rules also provided opportunities for group companies to plan their taxes with internal loans the rules were tightened from 1 January 2013. In this new leg
