2. 1. Adhesive small bowel obstruction: aspects on epidemiology, treatment, costs and prevention

   Author : Thorbjörn B. Sakari; Filip Sköldberg; Urban Karlbom; Wilhelm Graf; Per J Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small bowel obstruction; adhesions; acute surgery; colorectal cancer; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common and sometimes life-threatening clinical condition, usually caused by post-operative adhesions. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the outcome after SBO surgery (Paper I), cost of SBO surgery including follow-up (Paper II), incidence of SBO after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery (Paper III), and to assess the safety of using the adhesion preventing substance icodextrin in CRC surgery (Paper IV).

5. 3. On wear in rolling/sliding contacts

   Author : Rickard Nilsson; Ulf Olofsson; I. Sherrington; KTH; []
   Keywords : Technology; wear; rolling; sliding; contact; environment; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of wear in rolling/sliding contacts such as the wheel-rail contact for railroads and the roller-washer contact for roller bearings. The Stockholm commuter train network has been the subject of papers A and B in this thesis in which the wear and surface cracks on rails has been observed for a period of three years. READ MORE

6. 4. Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Inferior Vena Cava (REBOVC) : Experimental and clinical studies

   Author : Maria B. Wikström; Kristofer F. Nilsson; Tal M. Hörer; Pirkka Vikatmaa; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retrohepatic inferior vena cava; trauma; injury; hemorrhagic shock; endovascular; REBOVC;

   Abstract : Juxtahepatic venous injuries often cause life-threatening hemorrhagic shock, the mortality is high and new management methods are needed. The aims were to explore endovascular methods for retrohepatic vascu-lar isolation, their effects on survival, hemodynamics, metabolism, end-organ damage and bleeding, and if ultrasound and anatomical land-marks could be used to guide placement of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the inferior vena cava (REBOVC).

7. 5. Studies of immune responses to cell surface proteins of Helicobacter pylori and Borrelia burgdorferi by enzyme immunoassay and immunoblotting

   Author : Ingrid Nilsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; B. burgdorferi; H.pylori; cell surface proteins; gel-electrophoresis; enzyme immunoassay; Western immunoblotting; bacteriology; Microbiology; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Helicobacter pylori and Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. can cause chronic infections by evading the immune system. These two human pathogens express a number of immunogenic cell surface proteins. READ MORE
