  2. 6. Long-gap esophageal atresia - The development of an experimental model of esophageal regeneration in vivo as an attempt to improve clinical outcome

    Author : Linus Jönsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-gap esophageal atresia; Follow-up; guided tissue regeneration; small intestinal submucosa; pulmonary physiology; esophageal replacement; extracellular matrix; macrophage phenotype;

    Abstract : Background: A subset (~8-15%) of the patients born with esophageal atresia (EA) suffer from a lack of esophageal tissue, which makes a primary anastomosis difficult to achieve. This is most common in patients born without a distal fistula between the trachea and the distal esophageal segment. READ MORE

  4. 7. Regional ventilation, pulmonary perfusion and gas exchange in supine and prone positions

    Author : Margareta Mure; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ARDS; ALI; CPAP; Gas exchange; Prone position; Regional ventilation; Regional perfusion; Supine position;

    Abstract : The rationale for treating patients with acute lung injury in the prone position springs from a number of observations. Clinical reports have documented improved oxygenation when patients are turned prone. Regional vascular conductance is higher in dorsal lung regions regardless of posture. READ MORE

  5. 8. Pharyngeal function, airway protection and anesthetic agents

    Author : Eva Sundman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aspiration; postoperative pulmonary complications; hypoxia; sedation.;

    Abstract : Anesthesia related complications occur most frequently in the immediate postoperative period. The three most common conditions associated with such events are ventilatory failure, airway obstruction and aspiration. The pharynx is essential for respiration and protection of the upper airway.

  6. 9. Effects of anasthesia on esophageal sphincters

    Author : Rebecca Ahlstrand; Magnus Wattvil; Johan Ullman; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lower esophageal shincter; Upper esophageal sphincter; Barrier pressure; Manometry; Propofol; Remifentanil; Alfentanil; Rocuronium; Cricoid pressure; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Surgery; Kirurgi; Anaesthetics; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Anestesiologi;

    Abstract : The esophageal sphincters constitute the anatomical protection against pulmonary aspiration. The aim of this thesis was to study the esophageal sphincters and how they are affected by different components of emergency anesthesia using high-resolution solid-state manometry.The effect of propofol (0.

  7. 10. Clinical and Preclinical Lung Transplantation in the aspects of improving outcome

    Author : Haider Ghaidan; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Lung transplantation (LTx) is an established therapeutic option for end-stage pulmonary disease. However, it remains restricted by donor lung scarcity. READ MORE
