  2. 21. Functional residual capacity – development of new monitoring techniques for critically ill patients

    Author : Cecilia Olegård; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FRC functional residual capacity EELV end-expiratory lung volume volume dependent compliance VDC acute respiratory failure recruitment manouvre PEEP;

    Abstract : Functional residual capacity (FRC) and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) are important parameters for respiratory monitoring in critically ill adult and paediatric patients. Until now we have lacked clinically useful methods to measure these lung volumes. READ MORE

  4. 22. Standardized ultrasonography with cine-loop documentation : diagnostic variability in liver and kidney examinations

    Author : Stenman Carina; Örjan Smedby; Staffan Wirell; Marcus Ressner; Odd Helge Gilja; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Ultrasound examination of the abdomen is often a first choice at radiology departments due to the lack of ionizing radiation. For diagnostic accuracy and economic benefits there has been a need for new routines in this area that incorporate the benefits of an radiographer or sonographer performing a multitude of ultrasound examinations following strictly standardized examination protocols and documentation forms made by cine-loops that will give the radiologist access to all relevant information needed for an accurate postexamination diagnosis.

  5. 23. Brain imaging in preterm infants at term equivalent age : value and comparison of MRI and ultrasound

    Author : Sandra Horsch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cranial ultrasound (cUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the two most commonly used brain imaging techniques in preterm infants. cUS can be performed at the bedside and detects all major brain abnormalities (haemorrhages, infarctions, cysts, dilatation of the lateral ventricles) that are associated with severe neurodevelopmental disability.

  6. 24. Temperature management after cardiac arrest, postanoxic injury and neurological recovery

    Author : Anna Lybeck; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; target temperature mangement; outcome; neuroprognostication; seizures; EEG; Cardiac arrest; target temperature mangement; outcome; neuroprognostication; seizures; EEG;

    Abstract : In patients admitted alive to hospital after cardiac arrest the most common mode of death is withdrawal of life sustaining therapy due to brain injury. This decicion is preceeed by multimodal neuroprognostication, which includes clinical examination, neurophysiological tests, imagning and serum markers of braininjury. READ MORE

  7. 25. Aspects of skin cancer diagnosis in clinical practice

    Author : Ingela Ahnlide; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin cancer diagnosis; skin cancer; skin surgery; dermoscopy; basal cell carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma; melanoma; dysplastic naevus; naevus; algorithms;

    Abstract : Skin cancer incidence is increasing in fair-skinned populations. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). A correct diagnosis is crucial for an efficient and tailored treatment for the skin cancer patient. READ MORE
