  2. 1. Practical and physiological aspects of breath alcohol analysis

    Author : David Grubb; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breath alcohol analysis; Mouth alcohol; Analytical performance; Blood breath ratio; Alcohol exchange; Standardization; Contact free analysis.;

    Abstract : Breath alcohol analysis constitutes sufficient material for the prosecution of drunk driving without the need for blood analysis. However, the prevailing method used for breath analysis lacks standardization of several physiological variables that cause a variation of the breath alcohol concentration (BrAC). READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical pharmacokinetics of intravenous ethanol : relationship between the ethanol space and total body water

    Author : Åke Norberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Total body water (TBW) is an important parameter in pathological states where the normal regulation of fluid balance is impaired (e.g., during critical illness, congestive heart failure, bum injury and renal insufficiency). READ MORE

  5. 3. Exhaled nitric oxide in extreme environments

    Author : Tryggve Hemmingsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Exhaled nitric oxide; hand-held instrument; electrochemical detector; microgravity; International Space Station; high altitude; hypobaric hypoxia; normobaric hypoxia; backdiffusion;

    Abstract : Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a useful marker for lower airway inflammation. Since NO was found to be a component of an exhaled breath in the early 1990´s, the Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO 50) measurement is now well accepted among clinicians as a complementary test in the management of asthma.

  6. 4. Fatigue and Peripheral Muscle Dysfunction: Studies on Vitamin D Status, Muscle Metabolism and Systemic Inflammation in Patients with COPD : Aspects of COPD severity beyond FEV1 and exacerbations

    Author : Magnus Kentson; Lennart Persson; Jan-Erik Karlsson; Fredrik Nyström; Arne Egesten; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : BackgroundThe severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is usually described in terms of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and number of exacerbations. However, COPD is a complex disease with different ways of expression, involving pulmonary symptoms, extra pulmonal manifestations and comorbidities, which altogether affect the patient by contributing to reduced functional capacity, increased shortness of breath, reduced health-related quality of life and increased mortality.

  7. 5. Mitochondrial efficiency : focus on dietary nitrate, hypoxia and exercise

    Author : Tomas Schiffer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Metabolic efficiency affects weight control, generation of heat, exercise performance and health. The tiny radical nitric oxide (NO) targets several cellular components that can influence metabolic efficiency. NO is produced endogenously from L-arginine and molecular oxygen by specific NO-synthases. READ MORE
