  5. 3. Nebulized corticosteroid in septic lung injury : An experimental study in pigs

    Author : Sten Walther; Bo Risberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Sepsis is occasionally complicated by the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Auto injury by immunocompetent cells are given a central role in the pathogenesis, but our understanding of the mechanisms remains fragmentary. Treatment in septic ARDS is mainly supportive, no causal therapy exists. Mortality is high at 50-70%. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hyperglycemia in Experimental Cerebral Ischemia

    Author : Maria Molnar; Fredrik Lennmyr; Sten Lindahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brain ischemia; cardiac arrest; cytokines; gene expression; glucose; hyperglycemia; microarray; oxidative stress; pigs; rats; reperfusion; resuscitation S100β; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Cerebral ischemia is a life-threatening condition associated with a substantial morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia, a common coexisting phenomenon in both stroke and cardiac arrest (CA), may further aggravate ischemic brain injury. To date, the therapeutic possibilities are lim-ited and the search for new treatment modalities is warranted. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nitric oxide in experimental sepsis

    Author : Peter Dahm; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Nitric oxide; Sepsis; NO inhalation; Endotoxin; Acute lung injury; ARDS; Nitric oxide synthase; L-NMMA; L-NAME; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Pigs; intensivvård;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is important in the control of blood pressure and organ perfusion. In septic shock, NO produced by inducible NO-synthase (NOS) has been claimed to mediate pathological vasodilation and cell injury, while NO produced by constitutive NOS may be protective in counteracting hypoperfusion and organ injury.
