The way organ transplant recipients depend on social interactions to develop and experience social health and well-being is similar to that of the general population. A transplant may result in a close to full recovery of health status, but the physical and social problems can persist in some patients. The focus on improving the recipients’ social participation has therefore become an important is

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of fatigue among lung recipients 1–5 years after transplantation (LuTx) and to explore its relationship to distressing symptoms such as dyspnea, sleep problems, pain, and decreased appetite, as well as psychological and transplant specific wellbeing. A cross-sectional, multicenter cohort study was conducted. A total of 117 lung recipients wit

Background: It has been established that patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often have co-existing asthma. Objective: We aimed to test two hypotheses: (i) upper and lower airway inflammation in CRSwNP is uniform in agreement with the united airways concept; and (ii) bronchial inflammation exists in all CRSwNP patients irrespective of clinical asthma status. Methods: We

Common middle ear diseases may affect bone behavior in the middle ear air cell system. To understand this pathologic pneumatization, the normal development of bone in the middle ear should be investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze gene expression of bone-related signaling factors and gene sets in the developing middle ear. Microarray technology was used to identify bone-related g

I denna planetariumvisning får våra besökare träffa en astronom från institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik som berättar om hur vi har kommit fram till det vi vet om Universum idag.Har du någonsin undrat om hur vi mäter avståndet till avlägsna stjärnor och galaxer? Hur stjärnorna bildas, utvecklas och exploderar? Undrar du om det finns liv i universum? Hur stort Universum är? Hur vi nu haIn this planetariumshow our visitors get to meet an astronomer from Lund Observatory who explains not only what we know about our Universe, but also how we know what we know. Have you ever wondered how we measure distances to stars and galaxies? How new stars are formed, how they evolve and why they explode? Do you wonder if there is life out there? How big our Universe is? How we have now discove

In order to generate monoclonal antibodies (MAb) directed against the low molecular weight glycoprotein alpha 1-microglobulin, a BALB/c mouse was immunized with a mixture of human, guinea pig, rat and rabbit alpha 1-microglobulin homologues (multi-species immunization) and boosted several times. On day 194, the mouse splenocytes were fused to SP2/0 myeloma cells. The resulting hybridomas were scre
