  2. 1. Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) : calibration, breathing pattern analysis and external CO2 dead space measurement

    Author : Tomas Strömberg; Gert Nilsson; Per M. Gustafsson; Steffen Groth; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) is an important tool for ventilatory monitoring in research studies because it has minimal influence on the spontaneous breathing pattern and because the rib cage and abdominal contributions to the breaths are measured. RIP measures changes in rib cage and abdominal cross-sectional areas which are translated into lung volume estimates via RIP calibration against e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Paediatric sleep-disordered breathing - diagnostics and treatment

    Author : Gunnhildur Gudnadottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep-disordered breathing; Children; Tonsillectomy; Tonsillotomy; Absenteeism; Intranasal steroid treatment; Respiratory polygraphy; RIP flow;

    Abstract : Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children causes multiple health problems and diminished quality of life. It is usually caused by tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy and is traditionally treated with adenotonsillar surgery. READ MORE

  5. 3. Expression and novel function of CD43 in colon cancer cells

    Author : Christian X Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : CD43; leukosialin; sialophorin; mucin; nuclear localization; nuclear signaling; Wnt-signaling; beta-catenin; regulated intramembrane cleavage; RIP; proteolytic cleavage;

    Abstract : CD43 is a transmembrane protein containing an extracellular domain that is extensively O-glycosylated, and a relatively large intracellular domain with a conserved sequence between human, rat and mouse. It is frequently expressed in haematopoietic cell lines where it functions as a regulator of cell adhesiveness, a signal transducer and a cytoskeleton-interacting protein. READ MORE

  6. 4. Breating pattern by inductive plethysmography in relatidon to bronchial obstruction in asthma

    Author : Tomas Strömberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This work aimed at improving a method for "non-invasive" ventilatory monitoring (the respiratory inductive plethysmography; RIP), and at assessing whether RIP can be used for detection and monitoring of bronchial obstruction in asthma.The RIP measures the changes in rib cage and abdominal cross-sectional areas during breathing.
