Background. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences have been introduced into standard cancer care, though evidence that it benefits the patient is weak. We used the national Swedish Rectal Cancer Register to evaluate predictors for case discussion at a MDT conference and its impact on treatment. Material and methods. Of the 6760 patients diagnosed with rectal cancer in Sweden between 2007 and 20
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore how organizational design could support teamwork and to identify organizational design principles that promote successful teamwork. Design/methodology/approach: Since traditional team training sessions take resources away from production, the alternative approach pursued here explores the promotion of teamwork by means of organizational design. A wi

Institutionen för Experimentell Medicinsk Vetenskap har som uppgift att bedriva forskning på molekylär, cellulär och integrativ nivå rörande de livsprocesser som bestämmer kroppens funktion, normalt och vid sjukdom. Institutionen består idag av sex sektioner med unefär 60 forskargrupper och ca 350 medarbetare. Institutionen ska prestera forskning på högsta internationella nivå, utgöra en bas för Our mission is to perform molecular, cellular and integrative research at the highest international level and to train a new generation of successful scientists. We study biological processes that govern normal human bodily functions that are involved in disease pathogenesis. Several of our research environments have been recognized as outstanding both at the national and European levels. We also
Underlaget för denna undersökning är den intensiva debatt som blommade ut i bland annat svensk media efter att ett hundratal kvinnor blivit sexuellt antastade under nyårsfirandet i Köln natten mellan 2015-2016. Debatten kretsade i stora drag kring huruvida övergreppen bör förstås som ett kulturellt utspel, då det framgick att gärningsmännen alla hade ursprung i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika, eller h
Ageing of the world’s population has amplified neurodegenerative disorders, of which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are most common dementias. Both disorders are characterized by abnormal aggregation of proteins in brain. The molecular mechanism (or mechanisms) leading to the abnormal accumulation of ggregation of proteins remains unknown. We want to understand why abnormal
För närvarande är fokus inriktat på utvecklingen av en ny teknik där järnoxid-nanopartiklar kan användas som kontrastmedel för ultraljud. Vi hoppas att tekniken skall kunna hjälpa till att ställa tidigare diagnoser vid exempelvis cancersjukdom, men också att kunna vara ett hjälpmedel för kirurger att lokalisera sjuk vävnad under operation. Bilden visar en ultraljudsbild av en lymfnod som tagit uppCurrently the focus is on the development of a novel technique where iron oxide nano-particles may be used as a contrast agent for ultrasound. We expect the technique to be useful to put an earlier diagnosis in diseases such as cancer, but also to be an aid for surgeons in localizing diseased tissue. The picture shows a grey scale ultrasound image of a lymph node where particles have been deposite
Avdelningen för medicinsk etik bildades 1991. Medicinsk etik ett tvärvetenskapligt forsknings- och undervisningsämne. Syftet med den medicinsk etiska forskningen är att från olika utgångspunkter (analytiskt, kritiskt och historiskt) studera medicinskt beslutsfattande och medicinsk forskning, både de som fattas av individen och på samhällsnivå. Under de drygt 30 år som avdelningen funnits har det The Unit of Medical Ethics at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University was founded in 1991, the first of its kind in Sweden. Most of the members of the unit have a background in philosophy and/or medical or research ethics, but some of us also have qualifications in medicine, genetics, law, sociology, and political science. Our research interests include ethical aspects of stem cell research, i
I denna grupp ingår kliniska forskare inom främst områdena lymfom, sarkom och endokrina tumörer. Vår forskning är inriktad på kliniska prövningar, men även registerforskning, tumörbiologi och radiobiologi.This unit combines several areas within clinical oncological research, with a focus on lymphoma, sarcoma and endocrine tumours. This includes clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and basic tumour biology and radiobiology.
This essay investigates the Swedish Ecumenical Programme in Israel-Palestine (SEAPPI) with the purpose of examining how an NGO, such as SEAPPI, can remain neutral or impartial in an asymmetrical conflict. This will be done with the support of Slim’s (1997) perspective on neutrality and impartiality. The primary material are the two books based on the accompaniers’ reports on the situation and thei
This study aims to examine how Swedish politicians employ rhetorical strategies during shifts in opinion. The study seeks to generate knowledge about how Swedish politicians strategically adapt their political messages to legitimize these shifts among the broader public. The study is grounded in a social constructionist perspective and focuses on a press conference where the Social democrats annou
Background: International trade has evolved from a barter system to the current global marketplace of international business and with that teams has evolved with this trend from regular co-located teams to Global Virtual Teams (GVTs). Tuckman’s team development model was introduced to estimate regular team performance of therapy groups and is widely used both in academia and by practitioners today
