  2. 1. Haemodynamic management in liver surgery

    Author : Lena Sand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; liver resection; nitroglycerine; central venous pressure; vasopressin; patient position; PEEP;

    Abstract : Background: Liver resection surgery is a potentially curative treatment for liver tumours. The liver is a highly vascular organ, and substantial intra-operative blood loss is common. Increased blood loss negatively impacts both postoperative outcome and long-term survival. READ MORE

  4. 2. Surgical Management of Rib Fractures Following Trauma

    Author : Eva Corina Caragounis; Göteborgs universitet; []

  5. 3. On Cyclodeviation - Strategies for Investigation, Management and quality of Life

    Author : Sara Flodin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Strabismus; Orthoptics; Cyclodeviation; Quality of Life;

    Abstract : Introduction: Cyclodeviation is a form of strabismus that is not externally visible. It is measured subjectively and in degrees, as incyclotorsion or excyclotorsion. The perception of subjective tilting does not always accompany ocular torsion, and vice versa; and patients rarely complain specifically about cyclodiplopia. READ MORE

  7. 5. Image Quality Optimisation and Dose Management in CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT

    Author : Marcus Söderberg; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CT; SPECT; PET; dosimetry; image quality; optimisation; dose reduction; automatic exposure control; contrast medium; phantom; image reconstruction; human observer;

    Abstract : The significant increase in the use of CT, alone or combined with SPECT or PET, has raised concerns about patient radiation exposure and the consequent increased risk of malignancy later in life. The overall objective of this work was to evaluate and optimise different approaches for minimising patient radiation absorbed dose and maintaining or improving image quality in CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT.
