2. 1. Acute Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery : Diagnosis and treatment

   Author : Tomas Block; Stefan Acosta; Martin Björck; Torbjörn Nilsson; Ulf Hedin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; superior mesenteric artery; acute mesenteric ischemia; acute thrombo-embolic occlusion; computed tomography; vascular surgery; serum biomarkers; microarray; intestinal revascularization; Vascular surgery; Kärlkirurgi; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a condition associated with high mortality and morbidity. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for acute SMA occlusion. READ MORE

4. 2. On Acute Thrombo-Embolic Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery

   Author : Stefan Acosta; Martin Björck; Mats Ögren; Bengt Lindblad; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; acute thrombo-embolic occlusion; superior mesenteric artery; intestinal infarction; D-Dimer; intestinal revascularisation; population-based study; incidence; autopsy; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Acute thrombo-embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with intestinal infarction is a lethal disease, difficult to diagnose in time, with unknown incidence and cause-specific mortality. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the disease and to develop diagnostic methods. READ MORE

5. 3. Mesenteric lymph node spread and optimal lymph node resection in colon cancer

   Author : Fredrik Olofsson; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colon cancer; lymph node; right hemicolectomy; inferior mesenteric artery; CME;

   Abstract : Introduction Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer world wide, with an incidence of almost 1 million cases anually. Surgery is a prerequisite for cure and the majority of patients are potentially curable at diagnosis. READ MORE

6. 4. Levosimendan in early experimental sepsis: effects on the heart and hepatosplanchnic circulation

   Author : Doris Cunha Goncalves; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; septic shock; myocardial oxygen consumption; myocardial dysfunction; levosimendan; endotoxin; contractility; catecholamines; calcium sensitizer; cardiotonic agents; splanchnic perfusion;

   Abstract : Sepsis-related cardiovascular dysfunction associated with fluid-unresponsive tissue hypoperfusion might require inotropic treatment. This cardiovascular dysfunction seems to involve calcium desensitization and adrenergic unresponsiveness. READ MORE

7. 5. Pulmonary Injury Following Intestinal Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats

   Author : Anna Börjesson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reperfusion injury; intestinal ischemia; pulmonary injury; endothelium; cytokines; alveolar fluid clearance; leukocytes; orthopaedics; Surgery; traumatology; ortopedi; Kirurgi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is a potentially life-threatening condition, sometimes leading to a systemic inflammatory response and the potential development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The overall aim of the thesis was to study the effects of intestinal I/R on pulmonary function with special emphasis on removal of excess alveolar fluid, pulmonary endothelial barrier permeability, leukocyte accumulation and function, and possible therapeutic strategies to prevent the development of pulmonary injury following intestinal I/R.
