  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Biomarkers in sepsis and other severe infections

    Author : Helena Janols; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunosuppression; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; T cells; dendritic cells; monocytes; sepsis; Biomarkers;

    Abstract : Infectious diseases constitute a major global health problem. The presenting clinical picture results from a mixture of direct toxic actions by the microbiological agent and of the immune response mounted by the host. READ MORE

  5. 3. Novel Aspects of the Coagulation System in Host Defence

    Author : Praveen Papareddy; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Host defence peptides; Coagulation system; Sepsis; Thrombin; TFPI-1; TFPI-2; HCII;

    Abstract : Bacterial infections are a major global threat to public health and sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Sepsis incidence is rising, with supportive treatments and antibiotics being the main treatment possibilities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microfluidic bases sample preparation for blood stream infections

    Author : Sahar Ardabili; Aman Russom; Mats Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sample-preparation; microfluidics; sepsis; size-based separation; selective cell-lysis; immune-based isolation; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Microfluidics promises to re-shape the current health-care system by transferring diagnostic tools from central laboratories to close vicinity of the patient (point-of-care). One of the most important operational steps in any diagnostic platform is sample preparation, which is the main subject in this thesis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pathophysiological, Inflammatory and Haemostatic Responses to Various Endotoxaemic Patterns : An Experimental Study in the Pig

    Author : Miklós Lipcsey; Mats Eriksson; Jan Sjölin; Anders Larsson; Anders Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Anaesthesiology and intensive care; sepsis; animal model; cytokines; isoprostanes; endotoxic shock; pig; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

    Abstract : Septic shock is frequently seen in intensive care units and is associated with significant mortality. Endotoxin – a major mediator of the pathophysiologic responses – is released during lysis of Gram-negative bacteria. These responses can be mimicked in the endotoxaemic pig. READ MORE
