  2. 6. Studies of Experimental Bacterial Translocation

    Author : Anders Stenbäck; Cecilia Johnsson; Staffan Meurling; Bengt Jeppsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Intestinal barrier; short bowel syndrome; small bowel transplantation; mesenteric lymph nodes; gadolinium chloride; T cell inactivation; glutamine; phosphatidylcholine; rat; Thiry-Vella loop; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : One of the main obstacles to maintaining patients with short bowel syndrome on parenteral nutrition, or successfully transplanting these patients with a small bowel graft, is the many severe infections that occur. Evidence is accumulating that translocating bacteria from the patient’s bowel causes a significant part of these infections. READ MORE

  4. 7. Nitric Oxide Synthase in Pancreatic Islets During Trauma and Parenteral Feeding

    Author : Saleem Qader; Islet cell physiology; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Pancreatitis; Ghrelin; TPN; cNOS; iNOS; PACAP; VIP; cAMP; Pancreatic islets; Insulin secretion;

    Abstract : The influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in the pancreatic islets.

  5. 8. Vasopressors and intestinal mucosal perfusion. Studies in cardiac surgical and critically ill patients

    Author : Andreas Nygren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During trauma, surgery and critically illness, splanchnic ischemia and reperfusion damage maythreaten the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, leading to bacterial translocation, immuneactivation and subsequent development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Detection,prevention and treatment of intestinal mucosal hypoperfusion are therefore important forprevention of complications in critically ill patients. READ MORE

  6. 9. Systemic stress response and hyperglycemia after abdominal surgery in rat and man

    Author : Peter Hager; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma results in a complex neuroendocrine and metabolic response known as the systemic stress response, which is initiated by neuronal and humoral signals from the site of the injury. These signals converge at central sites and result in the activation of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the sympathetic nervous system and an inflammatory response. READ MORE

  7. 10. Experimental studies on Damage Control Surgery and Intraabdominal Hypertension

    Author : Pia Olofsson; Thore Wikström; Kenth Johansson; Sten Lennquist; Fikri M Abu-Zidan; Louis Riddez; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Damage control surgery (DCS) offers an alternative to the traditional surgical management of complex or multiple injuries in critically injured patients. If a patient survives the initial phase of DCS, complications may occur, one of these being intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and it´s potential development into the abdominal compartment syndrome.
