2. 1. Lung volumes and lung mechanics in anesthetized children

   Author : Adalbjörn Thorsteinsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sulfur hexafluoride; Anaesthesiology; lung volumes; lung compliance; Anesthesia: pediatric; functional residual capacity; intensive care; Anestesiologi; ventilation inhomogeneity; intensivvård; airway closure;

   Abstract : The thesis was intended to fill gaps in the knowledge regarding the normal development of lung volumes and lung mechanics in children, from young infancy to the mid-teens. In particular, data were previously lacking regarding pre-school children. The studies were done during anesthesia and muscle relaxation. READ MORE

4. 2. Physiotherapy and physical activity in patients undergoing cardiac or lung cancer surgery

   Author : Marcus Jonsson; Elisabeth Westerdahl; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Anders Ahlsson; Maria Hagströmer; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiotherapy; Physical Activity; Cardiac surgery; Lung Cancer; Randomized Controlled Trial; Thoracic surgery; Physical Function; Lung Function;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiac surgery is performed to improve prognosis, relieve symptoms and increase functional capacity in patients with cardiac disease. Postoperative pulmonary complications are common after cardiac surgery and a reduced lung function can persist a long time after surgery. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving the diagnostic armamentarium of lung cancer

   Author : Hedvig Elfving; Patrick Micke; Fredrik Pontén; Marika Nestor; Reinhard Büttner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lung cancer; tissue microarray; immunohistochemistry; targeted therapy; immunotherapy; checkpoint inhibitors; immune microenvironment; prognosis; biomarkers; immune cells.;

   Abstract : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constituting 85% of cases. The introduction of immunotherapies and targeted therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis and outcome for a subset of patients, and stressed the development of diagnostic tools for effective patient selection.

6. 4. Models of alveolar remodeling in chronic lung disease

   Author : Oskar Rosmark; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular matrix ECM ; Decellularization; Mass Spectrometry MS ; Biomechanics; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD ; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF ; Alveolar epithelial cells; Fibroblasts; Lung slices;

   Abstract : Lung function is highly dependent on the structure of the lung parenchyma. Remodeling of the alveolar compartment is a central part of the pathology of chronic lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). READ MORE

7. 5. Pulmonary resection for malignant tumors

   Author : Mamdoh Al-Ameri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Resection of malignant tumors in the lung represents greater than 70% of thoracic surgeries. The continuous evolution of new surgical techniques and management of malignant diseases have improved the clinical outcomes of survival and quality of life. READ MORE
