BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been suggested to cause exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. However, a case-control-based autopsy study failed to associate systemic sclerosis with any pancreatic histopathology. The primary objective of this study was to examine the exocrine pancreatic function in consecutive SSc patients in relation to an age- and sex-matched control group. A secondary objec
Background: Early cartilage changes in knee osteoarthritis (OA) can be assessed by both intravenous (i.v.) and intra-articular (i.a.) delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC). Purpose: To examine the relationship between i.a. dGEMRIC and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of menisci (dGEMRIM), and to investigate if the approach can be used to assess the morphological degeneration of men
Title: A quantitative Study of the distribution of information at Sweden’s needle exchange programs. [Translated title] The Swedish needle exchange program focuses on helping individuals who inject drugs to reduce the risk of illnesses and infections, by offering them clean injecting tools, get in touch with different authorities and organisations that can provide help and support to better their
In this project, morphological differences between motion detector neurons in Drosophila melanogaster were compared and used to speculate regarding their function. This was achieved by comparing properties such as diameter, height, width, bifurcation, asymmetry and terminal degree. To assist in the comparison, neurons were also visualized in 3D to identify structural differences. It was found that
Technology has become a vital part of people’s lives. Mobile phones, smart phones, social media platforms, apps and other internet-connected devices and software have changed our way of interacting with each other, as well as managing everyday tasks. In this article, the use of such technology is discussed in relation to its integration in the lives of women who are victims of domestic violence. T

Genom att utveckla nya lasrar och fotonkällor samt skräddarsydda lösningar för tillämpad spektroskopi i olika miljöer, adresserar profilområdet samhällsutmaningar relaterade till klimatförändringar, miljöpåverkan och bekämpning av cancer och andra hot mot människors hälsa.By developing novel lasers and photon sources as well as tailored solutions suited for applied spectroscopy in different environments, the profile area addresses specific societal challenges related to climate change, environmental impact and combatting cancer and other threats to human health.
Histopathologic classification of cancer in the lung is important for choice of treatment. Cytokeratin 5 (CK5), p63, and p40 are commonly used immunohistochemical markers for squamous cell carcinoma, and napsin A (NAPA) and thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) are markers for adenocarcinoma of the lung. The aim of the present study was to evaluate these 5 markers and to compare different commerc
Accurate diagnosis of histological type is important for therapy selection in lung cancer. Immunohistochemical (IHC) and histochemical stains are often used to complement morphology for definite diagnosis and are incorporated in the WHO classification. Our main aim was to compare different mucin stains and assess their value in relation to common IHC analyses in lung cancer diagnostics. Using tiss
Using fishing-rods laced with dental floss and the Nobel-prize winning Crispr-Cas9 gene-editing technology, Nathalie Feiner wants to reveal some of the deepest mysteries of evolution. At the root of it all: a heartfelt love of lizards. Lying on a thin branch in the terrarium on Nathalie Feiner’s desk in the Department of Biology is a grey-speckled anolis lizard, looking out over the empty coffee c
