  2. 1. Aspects on Cardiac Pumping

    Author : Marcus Carlsson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac Pumping; Ventricular Function; Fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Cardiac pumping physiology is important for understanding the pathophysiology of patients with cardiac disease. MRI gives the opportunity to measure volumes and flow non-invasively with high accuracy and precision. This thesis examines some aspects on cardiac pumping physiology. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mast Cell-Mediated Orchestration of Airway Epithelial Responses in Chronic Respiratory Diseases

    Author : Frida Berlin; Respiratorisk cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cell; Tryptase; Chymase; Bronchial epithelium; Respiratory diseases;

    Abstract : Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are an increasing health issue worldwide and cause about 3.9 million deaths annually. Despite this, little is know about the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exercise physiology and cardiac function. Aspects on determinants of maximal oxygen uptake

    Author : Katarina Steding Ehrenborg; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory indices; peak oxygen uptake; heart failure; cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; exercise physiology;

    Abstract : Although the athlete's heart has been of interest for over 100 years, further characterization of the athletes heart is needed in order to understand how training affects cardiac dimensions and function. Few studies have investigated the effects of training in female athletes and few have compared males and females. READ MORE

  6. 4. Novel Biomarkes in Acute Respiratory Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

    Author : Brynja Jónsdóttir; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Dyspnea; Respiratory failure; Biomarkers; GDF-15; ST2; IL-8; noninvasive ventilation; Acute Respiratory Failure; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Dyspnea; Biomarkers; ST2; IL-8; GDF-15; Prognosis and survival; Hypercapnia;

    Abstract : Abstract Background: Dyspnea is a common manifestation of a range of conditions and diseases, sometimes with multiple contributing factors. A subgroup of these patients present with acute hypecapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) and are treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). READ MORE

  7. 5. On Mechanisms Impairing Airway Host Defence in Cystic Fibrosis

    Author : Sandra Jovic; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease, caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene. The gene codes for a protein that serve as chloride channel. In cystic fibrosis, this protein is lacking or has a defect function resulting in a thick and sticky mucus of the airways. READ MORE
