Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumour in humans. It is a diagnosis with a very bleak outcome. The goal is to analyse whether glioblastoma expresses C1-IA and CRP (proteins) that inhibit immune response by inactivating the complement system, and to test treatment in various animal models for glioblastoma.

The development of cardiovascular care in the western world is being driven towards less invasive methods, where so-called catheterization replaces open heart surgery. Many patients with heart disease must undergo open heart surgery treatment, which is a major operation that is not without its risks. In the past 10 years

Pulmonary hypertension is a fatal condition in many cases. A prerequisite for better treatment is an increased understanding of pathophysiology and lung microanatomy. Until now, no satisfactory 3D imaging methods have been available. Further, the goal is to create automated measurement of the thickening of lung vessels. The methods used

The purpose of the study is to be able to, using an early diagnosis of hypomineralized molars provide the best preventative treatment to minimize the risk of caries or later acute symptoms as well as more complicated treatments.

Stroke is one of the major diseases affecting some 27,000 people in Sweden each year and 17 million worldwide. Of the patients who survive a stroke, approximately one third experience lifelong loss of functionality that among other things affects mobility, speech, thought, and memory. Several biological mechanisms that inhibit the

Diagnosis and follow-up of lung diseases can be improved by measuring carbon dioxide and flow under normal breathing, so-called volumetric capnography. With volumetric capnography differences can be discovered in the small respiratory tracts which are the first to be affected in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. Spirometry is

People with Type 1 diabetes lack the hormone insulin. Insulin is vital to the body’s cells for the supply of energy and the progression of metabolic processes. Insulin must therefore be administered daily through multiple injections or an insulin pump. Self-regulating pumps, so-called artificial pancreas, are not available yet. In

The elderly and the chronically ill with personal alarms with panic buttons are exposed daily to high risk in their own home environment; no one hears when they are in urgent need of help and that’s why assistance is not available. The vital communication through personal alarms with panic buttons
