MedCUL är Medicinska fakultetens Centrum för Undervisning och Lärande. Vi erbjuder kompetensutveckling inom undervisning och lärande. Vi verkar för att utformning av, beslut om och genomförande av utbildning ska vila på aktuellt internationellt kunskapsläge inom utbildningsområdet.MedCUL coordinates the faculty's quality assurance work at undergraduate level in cooperation with educational committees and program directors. We collaborate with teachers and educational leaders in developmental projects. Our research in medical education concerns areas related to our practice such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), workplace learning and supervision, PhD student supervision and

Through economic openness, increased capital mobility and the resulting competition to innovate, the globalisation of capitalism ought to increase the wealth and living standards of all involved. However, in order for all to be involved, they must be of value to that economy. That the world lives largely in poverty means that the more the economy incorporates cheap labour, the lower the returns to

Forskargruppen "Barninfektioner och global barn- och ungdomshälsa" främjar forskning och utbildning. Det primära forskningsområdet är pediatrik och mer specifika inom området barninfektioner, Kawasakis sjukdom, global barn och -ungdomshälsa samt migration. Forskargruppen samarbetar med andra forskargrupper både nationellt och internationellt. Forskargruppen är involverad i utbildningen av läkarsPediatric infectious diseases and global child health is a research group promoting high quality research and education. The primary area of research is Pediatrics and more specific in the field of infectious diseases, Kawasaki disease, global child health and migration. The research group collaborates with research teams both nationally and internationally as well as being involved in the educa

I världen lider flera 100 miljoner människor av autoimmuna sjukdomar och de är ett folkhälsoproblem i paritet med cancer och hjärt/kärlsjukdomar. Vi har fokuserat vår forskning kring en grupp ovanliga men allvarliga autoimmuna sjukdomar, ANCA associerade vaskuliter. Sjukdomarna orsakar en akut inflammation i de små blodkärlen, vilket leder till en snabbt förlöpande glomerulonefrit och livshotande Autoimmune diseases affect several 100 million people world wide and is a tremendous public health problem comparable with heart disease and cancer. We have focused our research to a group of severe autoimmune diseases, called ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) associated systemic vasculitis. The diseases present with acute inflammation in the small vessels and cause rapidly progressive r

The field of research is to uncover the genetic and environmental etiology of autoimmune (type 1) diabetes, celiac disease as well as narcolepsy. The genetics of the disease is dissected also in the spontaneously diabetic BB rat. Specific autoantibody markers are used to predict the clinical onset of diabetes or celiac disease. Longitudinal studies of children at increased risk allow studies of t

The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all

Background: Homograft tissue is an important reconstructive material used in the surgical correction of a variety of congenital heart defects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of pulmonary artery (PA) branch patches used in the reconstruction of the thoracic aorta in children. Methods: Retrospective review of 124 consecutive pediatric patients undergoing corrective surger

During winter at temperate and high latitudes, the low ambient temperatures, limited food supplies and short foraging periods mean small passerines show behavioural, morphological and physiological adaptations to reduce the risk of facing energy shortages. Peripheral tissues vasoconstrict in low ambient temperatures to reduce heat loss and cold injury. Peripheral vasoconstriction has been observed

Vår forskning handlar om att kartlägga de mekanismer som ligger bakom njursjukdom för att ta fram ny diagnostik och behandling för de cirka 10% av Sveriges befolkning som lider av nedsatt njurfunktion. Vi forskar också fram nya metoder för att förbättra behandlingen med så kallad peritonealdialys (bukdialys) - en form av dialysbehandling för patienter med svår njursvikt. Vi samarbetar med andra foOur research focuses on identifying the mechanisms behind kidney disease in order to develop new diagnostic methods and treatment for the approximately 10% of Sweden's population suffering from impaired renal function. We are also researching new methods to improve treatment with peritoneal dialysis - a form of dialysis treatment for patients with severe renal failure. We collaborate with other re

I ett samarbetsnätverk av svenska och internationella forskare är vår målsättning att mäta, individualisera och förbättra behandlingsresultat och hälsa hos personer med psykiska störningar. Vi fokuserar på patienternas egenbedömningar, utveckling av självskattningsskalor & applikationer samt kliniskt relevanta biologiska markörer. Ett projekt syftar till att undersöka effekten av livsstilsintervenIn a collaborative network of Swedish & international researchers, our aim is to measure, individualize and improve treatment outcomes and health in individuals with psychiatric disorders. We focus on patients' own assessments, the development of self-rating scales & applications, and clinically relevant biological markers. One project aims to investigate the effect of lifestyle intervention on me

Vår grupp bedriver forskning med fokus på psykiatri, utveckling och aggressivt, antisocialt beteende i ett livsloppsperspektiv. Huvuddelen av våra projekt är kliniska och longitudinella och undersöker riskfaktorer för och utvecklingen av utagerande beteende samt psykisk ohälsa, funktionsnedsättningar, neurokognitiva problem, somatiska sjukdomar, social utsatthet, problem i skolan och på arbetsmarkOur group conducts research related to mental disorders, development and aggressive, antisocial behaviour. We focus on clinical longitudinal studies on the development and course of externalizing behaviour and concomitant disorders and problems such as psychiatric and somatic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, neurocognitive functioning, social and educational problems, from early childhood
