Objective To investigate the 2-year clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA; symptom duration <1 year) who had initially responded well to methotrexate monotherapy. Methods In the SWEFOT trial, all 487 patients started methotrexate (target dose 20 mg/week). After 3-4 months, 147 had low disease activity, 28-joint based disease activity score (DAS28) <= 3.
Objectives: Antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based immunosuppression remains a cornerstone in aplastic anaemia (AA) treatment. However, most ATG studies are not population-based and knowledge about real-world results concerning response and outcome could offer important information for treating physicians. Methods: We have recently performed a nationwide retrospective cohort study on all AA patients d
Plant macrofossil and pollen records from the partially varved sediments of Lake Odensjön in southernmost Sweden provide detailed information on local forest development and land-use history within Söderåsen National Park during the past 600 years. A relatively dense forest dominated by Fagus (European beech) covered the steep talus-dominated slopes surrounding the lake during at least a century p
Injectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes. We focus on organic electronics that self-assemble directly inside or near the nervous system to form electronic circuits that mimic its structure and organization, enabling seamless integrat
The Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university. The purpose of the center is to utilize existing capacities at Lund University and create a new competence at the center to encourage and produce research and academic opportunitiesThe Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university.

The Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) was founded in 1994. Riksstroke includes registration of acute stroke, with a follow up after 3 months and 1 year. The Stroke policy and quality register research group has several ongoing projects based on data from Riksstroke, and in many studies also using data record linkage to other national registers and data bases. The thesis of Teresa Ullberg expl
We consider a cooperative wireless network where a set of nodes cooperate to relay in parallel the information from a source to a destination using a decode-and-forward approach. The source broadcasts the data to the relays, some or all of which cooperatively beamform to forward the data to the destination. We generalize the standard approaches for cooperative communications in two key respects: (
Our ultimate research vision is to discover, develop and implement novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapies for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntingtons disease and stroke. My group works with translational research that is tightly linked to clinical research questions. Our experimental focus is to understand neurovascular disease mechanisms. We examine the dysfu
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making, Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population.

In the global perspective of antibiotic resistance, it is urgent to find potent topical antibiotics for the use in human and animal infection. Healing of equine wounds, particularly in the limbs, is difficult due to hydrostatic factors and exposure to environmental contaminants, which can lead to heavy bio-burden/biofilm formation and sometimes to infection. Therefore, antibiotics are often prescr
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
