  2. 1. Aspects of hepatoduodenal trauma and fluid therapy in hemorrhagic shock

    Author : Peep Talving; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Liver injury; epidemiology; population-based study; duodenum injury; gunshot injury; surgery; trauma; emergency care; bleeding; hypotension; hemorrhagic shock; fluid resuscitation; prehospital fluid therapy; morbidity; mortality;

    Abstract : Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death among young adults and children, accounting for 5 million deaths worldwide on an annual basis. In Sweden alone, 2500 individuals succumb to traumatic injuries yearly. Beyond the burden of death, injuries contribute to a large proportion of disability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Monitoring of Splanchnic Regional Perfusion : An Experimental Study of New Application and Validation

    Author : Itaru Koga; Lennart Christiansson; Lars Wiklund; Björn Biber; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology and intensive care; Splanchnic circulation; Regional ischemia; Hepatic artery buffer response; Air tonometry; Intraperitoneal; Reflectance pulse oximetry; Hepatic venous oxygen saturation; Lactate; PCO2 gap; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthetics and intensive care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

    Abstract : Systemic infection, major surgery, trauma and many other causes can lead to impaired organ function. Compensated shock is not detected by global hemodynamic and oxygen measurements, as they take no account for regional variations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Liver protein metabolism in man

    Author : Hans Barle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Amino acids; cholecystectomy; ion exchange chromatography; hepatic; laparoscopy; liver biopsy; masspectrometry; protein synthesis; stable isotopes;

    Abstract : Protein depletion is a determinant of clinical outcome in catabolic states. Consequently studies of protein metabolism are necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms. Since the regulation of the synthesis and breakdown of proteins differs between tissues, it is preferable to study protein metabolism on the organ level. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hyaluronan in sepsis : A clinical and experimental study

    Author : Sören Berg; Steven J. Allen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Sepsis and septic shock are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Mortality rates in septic shock are estimated to be 40-50%, in spite of modem intensive care. Death is commonly caused by cardiovascular collapse and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

  7. 5. Regional oxygenation in cardiac surgery. Influence of temperature, pump flow and insulin

    Author : Lena Lindholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary bypass; cardiac surgery; regional oxygenation; venous oxygenation; splanchnic oxygenation; insulin; vasodilation; temperature; pump flow;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma triggers neural, endocrine and inflammatory reactions with subsequent alterations in systemic and regional blood flow, blood pressure and metabolism. These changes are detectable after all major surgical procedures but are often more pronounced after cardiac surgery, probably because of blood exposure to artificial surfaces of the heart lung machine, temperature modulation (e.
