  2. 1. Extracellular Matrix and Actin Cytoskeleton - the Control Unit of Interstitial Fluid Volume

    Author : Vahid Reyhani; Kristofer Rubin; Markella Ponticos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Collagen; fibrin; integrins; PDGF-BB; gel contraction; fluid homeostasis; interstitial fluid pressure; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The regulation of fluid (water) volume in the body is crucial for tissue homeostasis. The interstitial fluid, which comprises almost 20% of the body fluid, is stored in the loose connective tissue and its volume is actively regulated by components of this tissue. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fluid biomarkers of extracellular matrix remodelling across neurological diseases

    Author : Karolina Minta; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; biomarker; extracellular matrix; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; immunoassay; mass spectrometry; radiation-induced brain injury; traumatic brain injury; vascular dementia;

    Abstract : Neurological diseases constitute a major health and socioeconomic issue. Despite an enormous amount of research going on globally, the prevalence and mortality of neurological disorders are still rising. READ MORE

  5. 3. Water physiology in burn victims

    Author : Joachim Zdolsek; Tøstolv Lund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Total body water; Extracellular fluid; Burn; Bioelectrical impedance; Oedema; Extracellular matrix; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Patients who sustain a burn injury of more than 20 - 30 % TBSA will, if untreated, develop burn shock within a couple of hours. Flcid is lost fi·om the vascular compartment due to suction from the interstitium of the wound and due to a generalised increase in vascular permeability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Improvements in Bioimpedance SpectroscopyData Analysis : Artefact Correction, ColeParameters, and Body Fluid Estimation

    Author : Ruben Buendia; Fernando Seoane; Hermann Scharfetter; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioimpedance; Cole; Body Fluid;

    Abstract : The estimation of body fluids is a useful and common practice in the status assessment of diseasemechanisms and treatments. Electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy (EBIS) methods are non-invasive,inexpensive, and efficient alternatives for the estimation of body fluids. However, these methods areindirect, and their robustness and validity are unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation of Renal Hyaluronan in Water Handling : Studies in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Sara Stridh; Peter Hansell; Mats Rundgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kidney; water balance; fluid handling; diabetes; nephropathy; ACE fetopathy; reabsorption; hyaluronic acid; glycosaminoglycan; GAG; extracellular matrix; mTOR; rapamycin; streptozotocin;

    Abstract : Hyaluronan (HA) is a negatively charged extracellular matrix (ECM) component with water-attracting properties. It is the dominating ECM component in the renal medullary interstitium, where the amount changes in relation to hydration status: it increases during hydration and decreases during dehydration.
