  2. 1. Impact of the upper gut on body fluid regulation and blood pressure in man - potential involvement of a locally expressed renin-angiotensin system

    Author : Peter Hallersund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : angiotensin; stomach; duodenum; sodium; salt; diuresis; appetite; gastric bypass; blood pressure;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the role of the upper gut in the regulation of diuresis and blood pressure control in relation to the novel finding of a mucosa-located renin-angiotensin system (RAS). RAS is a regulatory super-system vital for body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. READ MORE

  4. 2. Kidney Hyaluronan : Regulatory Aspects During Different States of Body Hydration, Nephrogenesis & Diabetes

    Author : Louise Rügheimer; Peter Hansell; Cecilia Johnsson; Örjan Källskog; Mats Rundgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; hyaluronan; kidney; dehydration; hydration; diabetes; nephrogenesis; renomedullary interstitial cells; CD44; hyaluronan synthase; hyaluronidase; vasopressin; nitric oxide; prostaglandins; glucocorticoids; angiotensin II; diuresis; lymph vessel; podoplanin; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The kidney regulates the excretion of water and electrolytes, which maintains homeostasis and enables control of arterial blood pressure. Hyaluronan, a large negatively charged interstitial glucosaminoglycan, is heterogeneously distributed within the kidney, primarily found in the medulla. READ MORE

  5. 3. "To pee or not to pee?" : A study of the voiding pattern and urinary flow in healthy children

    Author : Sven Mattsson; Kelm Hjälmås; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : En strävan inom pediatriken är att finna så enkla och för barnet så skonsamma undersökningsmetoder som möjligt. Särskilt vid urodynamiska undersökningar är.bamets medverkan en nödvändighetför en tillförlitlig bedömning av resultatet. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transvascular fluid dynamics in the pulmonary vasculature in horses at rest and during exercise

    Author : Modest Vengust; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Maximal exercise results in a marked increase in cardiac output (Q) with consequent adaptations in pulmonary macro- and microvasculature. These adaptations change pulmonary hemodynamics and increase fluid and solute movement between the pulmonary circulation and the pulmonary interstitium (across the lung). READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of Salt-Sensitive Hypertension in Hydronephrosis

    Author : Mattias Carlström; Erik Persson; Nils Wåhlin; Russell Brown; Göran Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; blood pressure; nephrectomy; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; renal function; renin angiotensin system; salt-sensitivity; telemetry; tubuloglomerular feedback; ureteral obstruction; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Hydronephrosis, due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common condition in infants with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1%. During the last decade, the surgical management of non-symptomatic hydronephrosis has become more conservative, and the long-term physiological consequences of this new policy are unclear. READ MORE
