  2. 6. Cooling and dopamine

    Author : Roger Roscher; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; electrophysiology; cooling; Hypothermia; swine; lung transplantation; organ preservation; dopamine; circulation; contractility; oxygenation; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

    Abstract : There is little knowledge about the circulatory effects of dopamine in hypothermia. Induced hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome in various settings. Hypothermia is also used for preservation of organs that are harvested for transplantation. READ MORE

  5. 8. Fibroblast Contractility in vivo and in vitro : Effects of Prostaglandins and Potential Role for Inner Ear Fluid Homeostasis

    Author : Anna-Karin Hultgård Ekwall; Kristofer Rubin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Bengt Rippe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Interstitial connective tissue; fibroblasts; prostaglandins; podoplanin; endolymph resorption; Ménière’s disease.; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Fibroblasts continuously strive to organize and compact the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Recent data suggest that this cellular contractility controls interstitial fluid homeostasis in loose connective tissues (CT). READ MORE

  6. 9. Misoprostol : pharmacokinetics and effects on uterine contractility and cervical ripening in early pregnancy

    Author : Annette Aronsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Misoprostol induced abortion pregnancy sublingual administration cervical ripening slow-release uterine contractility pharmacokinetics;

    Abstract : Misoprostol is an orally active synthetic PGE1 analogue which has become an important drug in obstetric and gynaecological practice because of its uterotonic and cervical priming actions. It is safe, cheap, widely available and stable at room temperature. READ MORE

  7. 10. Mitochondria, contractility and Ca2+ handling : cardiac and skeletal muscle adaptations in health and disease

    Author : Daniel C Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Contractility is a fundamental feature of skeletal and cardiac muscles. An indispensable step in the cellular signal for contraction is a transient elevation in cytoplasmic free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i). Both the production of contractile force and Ca2+ handling processes are highly energy demanding. READ MORE
