2. 1. Platelet-dependent pulmonary recruitment of neutrophils in abdominal sepsis

   Author : Milladur Rahman; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; abdominal sepsis; neutrophil recruitment; platelet; lung injury;

   Abstract : Sepsis and subsequent multiple organ failure remain the major cause of mortality in intensive care units. Leukocyte-mediated tissue damage is a key feature in septic lung injury. Accumulating data suggest that platelets play a role in inflammation and tissue injury. READ MORE

4. 2. Effect of Ventilatory Support on Abdominal Fluid Balance in a Sepsis Model

   Author : Marco Lattuada; Göran Hedenstierna; Filip Fredén; Anders Oldner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mechanical ventilation; lymph flow; spontaneous breathing; positive end-expiratory pressure; PEEP; abdominal edema; inflammation; intra-abdominal pressure; IAP; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

   Abstract : In patients affected by acute respiratory failure or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) the leading cause of death is failure of different vital organs other than the lungs, so called multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The abdominal organs have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. READ MORE

5. 3. NHBD Lung Transplantation

   Author : Per Wierup; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Surgery; rat; pig; edema formation; lung preservation; bronchial healing; gas exchange; lung evaluation; Lung transplantation; non-heart-beating donor NHBD ;

   Abstract : The waiting list for lung transplantations world-wide is steadily growing. So, the use of lungs from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) needs to be addressed. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate, in realistic animal models, the new donor organ concept: NHBD transplantation. READ MORE

6. 4. The role of the endothelin system in experimental acute lung injury : with special reference to the formation of extra-vascular lung water

   Author : Patrik Rossi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Acute lung injury; endothelin-1; extra-vascular lung water; pulmonary capillary pressure; sepsis; pulmonary edema; endotoxin;

   Abstract : Acute lung injury is a major clinical challenge in the intensive care unit. Sepsis is the most frequent underlying cause of this pulmonary syndrome, which contains inflammation-induced diffuse alveolar damage and early stage high permeability edema. READ MORE

7. 5. Indicator dilution measurement of lung water considerations of the method

   Author : Carl-Johan Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiac output; deuterium oxide; extravascular lung water; indicator dilution techniques; indocyanine green; lung pulmonary circulation; pulmonary edema; pulmonary gas exchange. Copynght Carl-JohanWallin;

   Abstract : Objective: Pulmonary oedema is life threatening. A method is needed for reliable measurement of lung water in man in order to clarify aetiology, pathophysiology, prognosis, and to evaluate treatments against pulmonary oedema. READ MORE
