  2. 16. Macula Densa Derived Nitric Oxide and Kidney Function

    Author : Anna Ollerstam; Pontus Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; Nitric oxide; rats; kidney; macula densa cells; tubuloglomerular feedback; renin; angiotensin II; blood pressure; hypertension; renal blood flow; neuronal nirtic oxide synthase; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Abstract : The kidney is the major organ regulating the extracellular fluid volume and thereby the arterial blood pressure. The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the kidney is predominantly located in the macula densa cells. READ MORE

  4. 17. CT with 3D-Image Reconstructions in Preoperative Planning

    Author : Angeliki Dimopoulou; Anders Magnusson; Anders Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CT Angiography; 3D-image reconstructions; haemodialysis; AVF AVG; DIEP flap; surgery time; complicated renal calculi; PNL; true nonenhanced images; virtual nonenhanced images; CT Urography; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Computed tomography is one of the most evolving fields of modern radiology. The current CT applications permit among other things angiography, 3D image reconstructions, material decomposition and tissue characterization. CT is an important tool in the assessment of specific patient populations prior to an invasive or surgical procedure. READ MORE

  5. 18. Hydronephrosis in childhood : An experimental and clinical study

    Author : Nils Wåhlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Hydronephrosis; experimental ureteral obstruction; tubuloglomerular feedback; renal blood flow; vasoactivre substances; pressure flow measurement; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; särskilt barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

    Abstract : In this thesis the pathophysiology of hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction was studied. The kidney adapts to obstruction by changes in renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). READ MORE

  6. 19. Molecular mechanisms of weight regulation in obesity and chronic renal failure with special reference to leptin and uncoupling protein 2

    Author : Louise Nordfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adipose tissue; BMI; chronic renal failure CRF ; gene expression; in situ hybridization; leptin; obesity; peritoneal dialysis PD ; single nucleotide polymorphism SNP ; UCP2; UCP2-polymorphism;

    Abstract : Obesity, which increases the risk of developing serious medical disorders, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, is threatening to become a global epidemic, meaning escalating healthcare costs for society and reduced quality of life for the individual. Thus, there is a large unmet need for improved preventive strategies and effective treatments. READ MORE

  7. 20. Early indicators for adverse development of cardiovascular, renal and metabolic function in children born with low birth weight

    Author : Alexander Rakow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Prematurity affects more than 10% of infants worldwide and is the main reason for neonatal mortality. Improvements in neonatal care have led to higher survival rates into adulthood. Adverse events during organogenesis and development, intra-or extrauterine, can increase the risk for chronic disease later in life. READ MORE
