  2. 16. Open abdomen therapy with vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction

    Author : Thordur Bjarnason; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Open abdomen; laparostomy; VAWC; NPWT; TNP; VAWCM; classification;

    Abstract : Introduction: Several life-threatening intra-abdominal conditions may be treated with open abdomen (OA) therapy. Potential complications to OA treatment include damage to the exposed bowel resulting in enteric fistulas, and inability to close the abdomen afterwards resulting in large ventral hernias. READ MORE

  4. 17. Management of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and dissections : with emphasis on spinal cord protection in aneurysm repair and non-surgical treatment of type-B dissection

    Author : Anders Winnerkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aortic cross-clamping; cerebrospinal fluid drainage; GFAp; NFL; retrograde venous spinal cord perfusion; somatosensory evoked potentials; S100B; thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm; type B aortic dissection.;

    Abstract : Thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms and dissections are two very serious disease processes which entail a high risk of vessel rupture and death. Their specific treatment strategies have several similarities which have formed a base for this thesis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Muscle protein synthesis : effects of metabolic stress and feeding

    Author : Inga Tjäder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma and critical illness are pathophysiological conditions where the metabolic stress leads to an imbalance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown, resulting in a net loss of body proteins. A major part of the protein losses comes from skeletal muscle. Muscle depletion is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  6. 19. Microdialysis and Intensive Care. Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Per Ederoth; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; traumatic brain injury; glucose; glycerol; lipolysis; epidural; postoperative analgesia; experimental pancreatitis; human; blood-brain barrier; morphine; pharmacokinetics; Microdialysis; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

    Abstract : Microdialysis was used to monitor local concentrations of energy metabolites in different organs, and to study the pharmacokinetics of morphine over the blood-brain barrier in intact and injured brain tissue in conditions treated in the Intensive Care Unit. After major abdominal or thoracoabdominal surgery, postoperative thoracic epidural analgesia resulted in higher glycerol concentrations in the deltoid subcutaneous adipose tissue, implying increased lipolysis, on the third postoperative day as compared to intravenous infusion of morphine, possibly due to a locally increased sympathetic tone.

  7. 20. Outcome and prevention strategies in peritoneal adhesion formation

    Author : Fanny Fredriksson; Helene Lilja; Bobby Tingstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; peritoneal adhesion prevention; inflammatory cytokines; experimental adhesion model; adhesive small bowel obstruction; adhesion-related morbidity; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

    Abstract : Peritoneal adhesions occur in up to 93% of adults after peritoneal trauma during surgery. Most adhesions are asymptomatic but can cause female infertility, small bowel obstruction (SBO) and chronic abdominal pain. Adhesion prophylaxis is needed to reduce the significant morbidity and increased health care costs resulting from peritoneal adhesions. READ MORE
