  2. 6. The significance of risk adjustment for the assessment of results in intensive care. : An analysis of risk adjustment models used in Swedish intensive care

    Author : Lars Engerström; Sten M. Walther; Folke Sjöberg; Mats Fredrikson; Kathy Rowan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : To study the development of mortality in intensive care over time or compare different departments, you need some kind of risk adjustment to make analysis meaningful since patient survival varies with severity of the disease. With the aid of a risk adjustment model, expected mortality can be calculated. READ MORE

  6. 9. 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

  7. 10. Microvascular effects of insulin in the skin

    Author : Alexandra Högstedt; Simon Farnebo; Bijar Ghafouri; Erik Tesselaar; Folke Sjöberg; Sven Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The microcirculation in the skin is essential for skin homeostasis. In instances of altered microvascular function, that may be the result of insulin resistance, tissue morbidity may ensue. The underlying mechanisms are however complex and not fully understood. READ MORE
