2. 1. Metabolic intervention during blood cardioplegia. Clinical studies in coronary surgery and heart transplantation

   Author : Ulf Kjellman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac surgery; heart transplantation; oxygen extraction; substrate metabolism; predictors of ischemic injuries; a - ketoglutarate; insulin;

   Abstract : Myocardial ischemia and injury (infarction) during open heart surgery and heart transplantation is a problem in spite of the fact that it is a safe procedure today. The myocardial substrate metabolism is well investigated before and after the cardioplegic period but little knowledge exists about the myocardial metabolic changes during cardioplegia. READ MORE

4. 2. On evaluation of organ damage in perinatal asphyxia : an experimental and clinical study

   Author : Mathias Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Perinatal asphyxia; hypoxia-ischemia; hypothermia; pig; lactate dehydrogenase; aminotransferases;

   Abstract : Leakage of intracellular enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) signalling multi organ dysfunction (MOD) is seen together with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after perinatal asphyxia. Hypothermia (HT) can attenuate HIE following perinatal asphyxia and hypoxia-ischemia (HI) but the neuroprotective efficacy falls dramatically the longer the delay in initiating HT. READ MORE
