  2. 21. An electrostatic sampling device for point-of-care detection of bioaerosols

    Author : Laila Ladhani; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Jorma Keskinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrostatic sampling; bioaerosols; point-of-care; breath sampling; electrostatic precipitation; microfluidic collection; corona discharge; air sampling; non-invasive diagnostics; exhaled breath analysis; on-site detection; aerosol sampling; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Bioaerosols are not only a significant factor of air quality but contribute greatly to the spread of infectious diseases, specifically through expired pathogen-laden aerosols. Clear examples of airborne transmission include: the recent influenza pandemic of 2009, the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic, and yearly norovirus out- breaks, which affect millions of people worldwide and pose serious threats to public healthcare systems.

  4. 22. Clinical pharmacokinetics of intravenous ethanol : relationship between the ethanol space and total body water

    Author : Åke Norberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Total body water (TBW) is an important parameter in pathological states where the normal regulation of fluid balance is impaired (e.g., during critical illness, congestive heart failure, bum injury and renal insufficiency). READ MORE

  5. 23. Studies on energy expenditure in walking after stroke

    Author : Anna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Cerebrovascular accident; Energy expenditure; Rehabilitation; Walking;

    Abstract : After stroke, altered movement pattern involves low walking speed and increased energy cost as compared to normal. Cardiovascular disease is common in the stroke population. Knowledge about the physiological demands of various training interventions is important for the planning of exercise. READ MORE

  6. 24. Studies on production and function of pulmonary nitric oxide

    Author : Christofer Adding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenaline; adrenoceptors; beta-adrenoceptors; calcium; carbon dioxide; catecholamines; chemiluminescence; exhaled; gadolinium chloride; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; nitric oxide; pulmonary; pulmonary circulation; stretch; sympathoadrenal; veratrine;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide is involved in pulmonary vascular and bronchial regulation and appears to be of paramount importance in the adaptation of the pulmonary circulation at birth. Nitric oxide is present in exhaled gas. READ MORE

  7. 25. Peripheral airway function in asthma and cystic fibrosis. Measurements using inert gas washout methods

    Author : Henrik Ljungberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acinar; adults; airway hyperresponsiveness; asthma; children; conductive; functional residual capacity; gas trapping; inert gas washout; infants; peripheral airways; plethysmography; respiratory function tests; ventilation inhomogeneity;

    Abstract : It is increasingly recognised that asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently involves the peripheral airways. Characteristic features of abnormal peripheral airway function are uneven ventilation distribution and increased gas trapping. READ MORE
