Surrogatmoderskap har sedan mitten av 1980-talet varit omdiskuterat i Sverige i och med att frågan om assisterad befruktning då uppmärksammades, men än så länge är surrogatmoderskap inte tillåtet i landet. I juni 2015 ska det dock publiceras en statlig utredning vilken ska uttala huruvida en legalisering av arrangemanget borde ske och hur detta i så fall ska regleras. Statens medicinsk-etiska rådEver since the middle of the 1980s when artificial insemination was given attention surrogacy have been much-disputed in Sweden, but so far surrogacy is not legal in the country. However in June 2015 a government investigation will be published which will convey whether or not surrogacy should be legalised and if so how the arrangement should be regulated. Statens medicinsk-etiska råd published a

In the last few years, we have seen an emerging activity among library institutions to release their catalogue data under the terms that are often referred to as “linked, open data”. The linked, open data concept brings some new features to the practice of bibliographic data exchange: It is done in a linked data environment following the technical principles of what is called the “semantic web”.

BACKGROUND: A considerable portion of patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) have negative amyloid-β (Aβ) biomarkers and are therefore unlikely to have Alzheimer's disease (AD). Potential causes of cognitive decline in this heterogeneous group include limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), cardio/cerebrovascular diseases, primary age-related tauopathy (PART),

There is increased interest in developing markers reflecting microstructural changes that could serve as outcome measures in clinical trials. This is especially important after unexpected results in trials evaluating disease-modifying therapies targeting amyloid-β (Aβ), where morphological metrics from MRI showed increased volume loss despite promising clinical treatment effects. In this study, ch

Several studies have shown white matter (WM) abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Nonetheless, robust characterization of WM changes has been challenging due to the methodological limitations of DTI. We applied fixel-based analyses (FBA) to examine microscopic differences in fiber density (FD) and macroscopic changes in fiber cross-section (FC) in early s

Background and purposeDiagnostic information about cell density variations and microscopic tissue anisotropy can be gained from tensor-valued diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These properties of tissue microstructure have the potential to become novel imaging biomarkers for radiotherapy response. However, tensor-valued diffusion encoding is more demanding than conventional encoding, and

BackgroundA specific eHealth device, a surf tablet, was developed for bridging between advanced in-hospital care and children’s homes. Since little is known about determinators for parental eHealth usage, the study’s aim was to explore if parents’ usage of the device was associated with their eHealth literacy, or their satisfaction with their child’s healthcare or with the specific surf tablet.Met

Purpose: Respiration-related CSF flow through the cerebral aqueduct may be useful for elucidating physiology and pathophysiology of the glymphatic system, which has been proposed as a mechanism of brain waste clearance. Therefore, we aimed to (1) develop a real-time (CSF) flow imaging method with high spatial and sufficient temporal resolution to capture respiratory effects, (2) validate the metho

Cardiovascular comorbidity is common in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and may significantly affect treatment tolerability and patient outcome. Still, there are no established biomarkers for objective and dynamic assessment as a tool for improved treatment decisions. We have investigated circulating levels of midregional-pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), midregional-proatrial-natriuretic peptide (MR-

In Alzheimer’s disease, reconfiguration and deterioration of tissue microstructure occur before substantial degeneration become evident. We explored the diffusion properties of both water, a ubiquitous marker measured by diffusion MRI, and N-acetyl-aspartate, a neuronal metabolite probed by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy, for investigating cortical microstructural changes downs

Citizen journalism forces change. However, the authorities still believe that experts and more control from above will solve the problem of climate change.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

Last week, six intrepid retail researchers from the Centre for Retail Research at Lund University travelled to London to observe the latest retail trends. Here, we summarise the most important trends and what the Swedish retail industry can learn from what is happening in London. Trend #1: Interesting use of space London is a densely populated city, which means they make use of all available space
