  2. 1. Reconstruction of the alveolar process in cleft patients

    Author : Fatemeh Jabbari; Daniel Nowinski; Agneta Marcusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alveolar bone grafting; dental status; initial cleft size; dental restoration; unilateral cleft lip and palate; cleft lip and alveolus; primary periosteoplasty; facial growth;

    Abstract : Background. The treatment of patients born with cleft lip and palate has been gradually modified over the years as the surgical procedures have developed and improved. Multidisciplinary team care has evolved and provided improved care with enhanced results. Clefts in the alveolus can be reconstructed by alveolar bone grafting or by periosteoplasty. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Surface Phase Model of the Alveolar Lining: Ultrastructural Analysis and in vivo Applications

    Author : Marcus Larsson; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; X-ray diffraction; cryo-TEM; dynamic swelling; ARDS; surface phase; surfactant replacement therapy; cholesterol; minimal surface; pulmonary surfactant; alveolar surface; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis the relation between lung surfactant structure and functional properties have been studied. Experimental results show that the alveolar surface is formed by a coherent surface phase with a structure equal to tubular myelin. The properties of this phase may explain certain unresolved issues in lung physiology, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Self-Assembly in Lipid-Protein Systems : Lung Surfactant, Stratum Corneum and Model Membranes

    Author : Jenny Andersson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lipid self-assembly; lung surfactant; stratum corneum; dehydrin; cholesterol; osmolytes; urea; TMAO; ssNMR; cSAXS;

    Abstract : This thesis explores lipid self-assembly and aims to give a broad picture of self-assembly structures in simple and complex lipid-protein systems. The systems studied are lung surfactant, stratum corneum and simple model membranes. The lung surfactant mixture lines the alveolus in our lungs and stabilises the air- tissue interface. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effect of body posture on regional ventilation and perfusion at normal and increased gravity

    Author : Johan Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The prone position is increasingly used to improve arterial oxygenation in intensive care patients with severe acute respiratory failure. This beneficial response is well documented but our understanding of the responsible mechanisms remains incomplete, as does our knowledge of the effect of posture on lung function in healthy individuals.
