Age, gender, education level, income level, marital status and other socioeconomic factors are predictive of survival in kidney cancer. #ISRHT25 The variation in survival in relation to socioeconomic status warrants support, patient education and guidance for socio-economically vulnerable groups.

The survival rates in kidney cancer has been steadily improving. A trend attributed to early detection and improved treatments #ISRHT25 The picture below illustrates the mortality rate in kidney cancer since 1997.

The incidence of renal cancer is increasing, a trend attributed to the aging of the population and increased use of cross-sectional imaging #ISRHT25 Most renal tumors are detected incidentally, when conducting imaging investigations on other indications.

Routine preoperative renal tumor biopsy leads to cost savings due to reduced over-treatment of benign renal masses and consequentially reduced surgery costs #ISRHT25 Read the full article at medicaljournalssweden.se/SJU/article/...

Döden berör oss alla ändå är det något vi kanske inte pratar om så ofta.

Vad tänker du, pratar vi tillräckligt om döden i Sverige?

Sorg - en naturlig del av livet eller en diagnos?

Införandet av förlängd sorg som diagnos i ICD-11 är omdebatterat. Vissa anser att det ger förutsättningar för bättre stöd och behandling, medan andra ser risker med att en vanlig livserfarenhet sjukdomsförklaras.

Tankar om diagnosen?

Anmälan till studie om sorg och förlängd sorg

När går sorgen över, och hur är det att sörja?

I mitt doktorandprojekt vill vi förstå hur olika människor upplever förlust. Enkäten tar ca 10 minuter att besvara. Man får också gärna dela hur man har upplevt förlusten och vilket stöd man hade behövt. 👉 Enkäten: redcap.link/ojsf1kjd

#ISRHT25

Sorg är en naturlig del av livet, och en förväntad reaktion efter ett dödsfall. Men för en del blir sorgen inte mildare med tiden, utan långvarig och intensiv. Det kallas för förlängd sorg (även komplicerad sorg) och är en ny diagnos i svensk sjukvård.

#ISRHT25

Just nu görs en av de första svenska studierna om behandling för komplicerad sorg på Uppsala universitet. Mer info om behandlingsupplägget och anmälan finns här: redcap.link/sh2slydr

Fatty Acid Synthase: An Emerging Target in Cancer In recent years, lipid metabolism has garnered significant attention as it provides the necessary building blocks required to sustain tumor growth and serves as an alternative fuel source for ATP gene...

Many people believe tumors "eat sugar" to survive- but they also need fat! Growing tumors need fat to build new cell membranes. Our group is trying to treat ACC cell cultures with a new drug targeting this process: Denifanstat. A useful review below:

One misconception is that ACC is always very aggressive. This is not always the case, with some patients surviving for years. One of our projects are studying this using tumor samples collected over many years here in Uppsala. Why do some patients live much longer? #ISRHT25

We urgently need better therapy💊 for ACC and we are currently conducting a study comparing different types of adjuvant treatments (chemotherapy given after surgery). It may come as a surprise to learn we still dont know which chemotherapy is the best to prevent recurrance in ACC... #ISRHT25 #ACC

My current projects are all about Adrenocortical Carcinoma (or ACC) which is a rare cancer that currently lack effective treatment. Since it is so rare there are many unknowns yet here in Uppsala we have a unique opportunity to study ACC since our hospital has focused on it since the 1980s! #ISRHT25

Hi! I'm Adam, a medical doctor and 2nd year phd student at Uppsala University. I recently finished my residency and my research is focused on adrenal tumors #ISRHT25

That was a glimpse into my work in the SEED project at Uppsala University 🎓 Thanks for following along as part of Introduction to Scientific Research #ISRHT25! Curious to learn more? Check out our research here: www.uu.se/en/departmen...

We are also evaluating a new treatment, RO-DBT, which targets emotional overcontrol in adolescents with anorexia nervosa who haven’t recovered with existing methods. This work aims to develop better, more effective support for young people with eating disorders.
#ISRHT25 #EatingDisorders #RO-DBT

My research focuses on how difficulties with emotion regulation and loneliness are linked to eating disorders in young people and adults. These factors may help explain why some individuals don’t benefit from existing treatments.
#ISRHT25 #EatingDisorders #Loneliness

I’m part of the SEED (Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders) team at @uu.se’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry research group. We study psychological, social, and biological factors behind long-term eating disorders and evaluate new ways to support recovery.

👋 Hi! I’m Pia, a PhD student studying eating disorders in young people and adults. As part of the course Introduction to Scientific Research #ISRHT25 at @uu.se, I’ll be sharing 5 posts about my work. Looking forward to connecting and sharing more! 🌍✨

Jag ser fram emot att höra andras erfarenheter, hitta samarbeten och utveckla nya perspektiv. Låt oss kopplas ihop här på #ISRHT25!

Jag är också intresserad av tarm–hjärna-axeln och hur bakteriefloran kan påverka neurologiska sjukdomar. Detta kan öppna för nya behandlingar. #ISRHT25

Min projekt handlar om kopplingen mellan Parkinsons sjukdom, benskörhet och frakturer. Målet är att minska risken för allvarliga skador. #ISRHT25

Mitt arbete fokuserar på neurologi, särskilt Parkinsons sjukdom. Jag vill bygga broar mellan forskning och vård för att förbättra livet för patienter. #ISRHT25

Hej! Jag heter Ammar Salih, neurolog och forskare i Västerås och vid Uppsala universitet. Jag deltar i #ISRHT25 och ser fram emot att dela idéer och lära känna nya kollegor.

👋 Midwife, pelvic floor enthusiast 💪, and pregnancy researcher. I explore what makes some babies grow bigger than expected. Science + care = my daily mix!
#ISRHT25 #PregnancyResearch #FetalGrowth

How is the research going??🤔
I’m analyzing lipid data from a cohort of pregnancies. Early results suggest certain lipid types in plasma and placenta are different in mothers of LGA babies. It’s exciting to see potential biomarkers emerging!
#ISRHT25 #DataAnalysis #PlacentaResearch #Lipidomics

Why it’s interesting
Understanding these lipid changes could help predict which pregnancies are at risk of LGA, allowing for earlier interventions. It also gives insight into fetal metabolism and how maternal diet or metabolism affects growth.

Curious about maternal lipids and fetal growth? Stay tuned—my article on this research will be coming soon! I’ll be sharing updates from my journey here.

👋 Hi! I’m Sonia, a PhD student studying pregnancy and fetal growth. I focus on how different lipid types and metabolites in maternal blood and the placenta are linked to babies being born larger than expected (LGA).
