  2. 21. Protection against cold in prehospital trauma care

    Author : Otto Henriksson; Ulf Björnstig; Tore Vikström; Peter Naredi; Hannu Rintamäki; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypothermia; prehospital trauma care; emergency medical services; passive warming; thermal insulation; heat loss; body temperature regulation; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Protection against cold is vitally important in prehospital trauma care to reduce heat loss and prevent body core cooling. Objectives: Evaluate the effect on cold stress and thermoregulation in volunteer subjects byutilising additional insulation on a spineboard (I). READ MORE

  4. 22. Studies of Rejection in Experimental Xenotransplantation

    Author : Tomas Lorant; Annika Tibell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Antibodies; cell culturing; cytokines; hyaluronan; immunosuppression; mouse; rat; rejection; T lymphocytes; xenotransplantation.; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : One main hurdle to xenotransplantation, i.e. transplantation between different species, is the immunological barrier that the organ meets in the recipient. The aim of this thesis was to characterise xenogeneic rejection mechanisms by using the concordant mouse-to-rat heart transplantation model. READ MORE

  5. 23. Protection and treatment of hypothermia in prehospital trauma care : with emphasis on active warming

    Author : Peter Lundgren; Ulf Björnstig; Peter Naredi; Tore Vikström; Anne Guttormsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypothermia; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: In prehospital trauma care active warming is recommended to aid in protection from further cooling. However, scientific evidence of the effectiveness of active warming in a clinical setting is scarce. Also, evaluating the effectiveness of active warming, especially in harsh ambient conditions, by objective measures, is difficult. READ MORE

  6. 24. On the assessment of right ventricular function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography

    Author : Stina Jorstig; Per Thunberg; Kent Emilsson; Mats Lidén; Micael Waldenborg; Einar Heiberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; right ventricle; stroke volume; ejection fraction; cardiac magnetic resonance; ehocardiography; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are two commonly used imaging modalities for evaluating the size and function of the heart. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with both modalities when examining the right ventricle (RV). READ MORE

  7. 25. Long-term outcome research on PDR brachytherapy with focus on breast, base of tongue and lip cancer

    Author : Bengt Johansson; Jan Persliden; Jan Nyman; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDR; brachytherapy; outcome; partial breast irradiation; base of tongue cancer; lip cancer; quality of life; dosimetry.; Oncology; Onkologi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Onkologi; Oncology; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Brachytherapy (BT) with continuous low dose rate (LDR) has been used for 100 years and is considered as the radiotherapy method able to deliver a dose in the shortest time with high efficacy and low risk of side effects. The drawbacks are need for patient isolation and radiation exposure of the staff during the treatment. READ MORE
