Min forskning är inriktad på att studera det medfödda immunsystemet vid kroniska lungsjukdomar. I synnerhet undersöks patofysiologiska mekanismer i samband med exponering för allergener och mikrobiella patogener (virus och bakterier) vid astma och KOL. Forskningen är translationell och inbegriper såväl kliniska data och patientprover som cellsystem och djurmodeller. Forskningen bedrivs i nära samaMy research focuses on the importance of innate immunity in chronic pulmonary diseases. In particular, pathophysiologic mechanisms during exposure to allergens and microbial pathogens (viruses and bacteria) in asthma and COPD. The research is translational and includes clinical data and samples from the patients as well as cellular studies and animal models. Currently, I collaborate closely with t

Internationella kontoret har hand om HT-fakulteternas utbytesavtal och studenter. Fanni Faegersten och Elena Vinci är internationella koordinatorer och kan nås på telefonnummer 046-2228773 resp 046-2228075 eller via mail international@ht.lu.se.The International Office supports the internationalisation process at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology and their Departments. The Office is in charge of international exchange agreements, supports mobility of staff and students, as well as other international activities. The Office also coordinates the SAS courses (Special Area Studies).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects around 1.5% of newborns in Sweden with few late detected cases (0.12 per 10,000). The most common treatment for DDH in Sweden is with the von Rosen splint, with radiographs at 3 and 12 months of age. Little is known about the remodeling of acetabular dysplasia following treatment initiated in the neonatal period. We aimed to

Sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects are necessary for Africa if the continent is to be successful in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and agenda 2063 of the African Union (AU). The paradigm shift towards a low-carbon society cannot be achieved without sustainable and efficient infrastructure that can withstand the effects of climate change. This chapter discusses th

Histopathological classification of lung cancer is of central importance in the diagnostic routine and guides therapy in the majority of patients. The 4(th) edition of the WHO classification was recently published and includes changes to the diagnostic procedure of non-small cell carcinomas (NSCC) with more emphasis on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining.

The risk of above-ankle reamputation following a transmetatarsal amputation is around 30%. Patient selection may be crucial to achieve good outcomes, and to avoid futile operations and suffering. We are aware of no previous comparison between the two largest patient groups that undergo lower extremity amputations: patients with diabetes, and patients with non-diabetic peripheral artery disease. Pa

The wide and increasing range of screen sizes between Android devices makes consumers use them very differently. Large devices (like televisions) are more suitable to view content and smaller devices (like smart watches) are to be used more as a quick controller of the main application. Distributed user interfaces is the concept of utilizing several of these de- vices in one application, so that e

Background: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery. Despite these long-term consequences, follow-up care is often insufficient, and access to reliable information and support remains limited. Broader initiatives to address post–cardiac arrest care are still lacking. This qualitative study r

Dark matter is estimated to make up around 25% of the Universe, but it is not known what dark matter is. In particle physics, mediators of dark matter are used to model interactions of dark matter particles with known particles (Standard Model particles). These mediator particles can be produced from two quarks or gluons in high-energetic proton-proton collisions, and decay immediately back into S

Objective: To propose and evaluate a new method for assessing the potential impact on speech intelligibility when wearing a hearing protection device (HPD) in a noisy environment. Design: The method is based on a self adaptive method for finding the speech reception threshold (SRT) using speech material from the Callsign acquisition test (CAT) presented at a constant level while adjusting the leve

In this paper, review and appraisal of twelve quantitative empirical studies in the stream of the Triple Helix model is performed in order to synthetize current knowledge on development of the quantitative Triple Helix indicator as well as to suggest some hypotheses and recommendations for the further research. Studies under consideration represent six approaches towards measuring Triple Helix rel
