  2. 1. Assessment of microvascular effects of vasoactive drugs : Methodological in vivo studies in humansbased on iontophoresis

    Author : Joakim Henricson; Folke Sjöberg; Gert Nilsson; Erik Droog Tesselaar; Jonas Åkeson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in western societies and endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs seen in the development of such conditions. Thedevelopment of prognostic tools to aid in the prediction of micro- and macrovascular diseasebased on assessment of vascular reactivity is therefore of paramount importance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of burns and vasoactive drugs on human skin : Clinical and Experimental studies using microdialysis

    Author : Anders Samuelsson; Folke Sjöberg; Ola Winsö; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Patients who require critical care, including those with burns, are affected by a systemic inflammatory reaction, which at times has consequences such as multiple organ dysfunction and failure. It has become increasingly evident that other factors important in the development of organ dysfunction are disturbances at the tissue level, in the microcirculation. READ MORE

  5. 3. The gastrointestinal tract in cardiac anaesthesia and intensive care : Clinical and experimental studies

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute Gastrointestinal Injury grade; biomarkers; extracorporeal circulation; splanchnic perfusion; inotropic drugs; vasoactive drugs; lactate; lactate pyruvate ratio;

    Abstract : Gastrointestinal (GI) complications after cardiac surgery have a substantial impact on outcome. The aims were to investigate the frequency of, and methods for detecting, GI dysfunction after cardiac surgery and its relation to outcome, and the impact of vasoactive drugs on the GI tract in experimental cardiogenic shock.

  6. 4. Studies on anti-inflammatory and vasoactive effects of mPGES-1 inhibition

    Author : Julia Steinmetz-Späh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the basis for various serious illnesses such as rheumatic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a pro-inflammatory lipid mediator produced by cyclooxygenases (COX1/2) and the microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1). READ MORE

    Abstract : Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is, next to prematurity, the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. To reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality it is important to identify such fetuses in utero in order to monitor their development, and to determine the most optimal time for delivery. READ MORE
