2. 21. Contribution of the sensory nervous system : an experimental study in the rat

   Author : Olle Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency HWL ; inflammation; microcirculation; scalding; sensory nervous system; sensory neuropeptide antagonists; sensory neuropeptides; thermal injury;

   Abstract : The pathophysiological background to burn induced inflammatory reactions is poorly understood and present therapy options are limited. A model of thermal injury was developed to enable investigations of the acute inflammatory reactions in the periphery as well as of the transmission of nociception at the spinal cord level.

4. 22. Indicator dilution measurement of lung water considerations of the method

   Author : Carl-Johan Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiac output; deuterium oxide; extravascular lung water; indicator dilution techniques; indocyanine green; lung pulmonary circulation; pulmonary edema; pulmonary gas exchange. Copynght Carl-JohanWallin;

   Abstract : Objective: Pulmonary oedema is life threatening. A method is needed for reliable measurement of lung water in man in order to clarify aetiology, pathophysiology, prognosis, and to evaluate treatments against pulmonary oedema. READ MORE

5. 23. Contributions of calcitonin gene-related peptide in ischemia, inflammation and nociception

   Author : Gunilla Brodda Jansen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : 5-hydroxytryptamine; acupuncture; blood flow; calcitonin gene-related pep- tide; edema formation; histamine; inflammation; ischemia; mast cells; neuropeptides; neutrophils; nociception; sensory stimulation; substance P; surgical flaps; withdrawal res;

   Abstract : The sensory neuropeptide Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a very potent vasodilator with a wide distribution in peripheral sensory nerves, often co-stored with substance P. In the present study, the effects of CGRP in different models of ischemia, inflammation and nociception were examined. READ MORE

6. 24. Bilateral neurogenic mechanisms following acute unilateral inflammation

   Author : Indre Bileviciute-Ljungar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : bilateral changes; host defence reaction; contralateral treatment; dorsal root reflexes; cross-spinal reflexes; substance P; neurokinin A; calcitonin gene-related peptide; neuropeptide Y; nociception; inflammation; carrageenan; edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency; microdialysis; hot-plate test; Randall Selitto test;

   Abstract : The contribution of neurogenic mechanisms to inflammation has been extensively studied during the last decade, but provides no clear understanding of the bilateral changes commonly seen following unilateral stimulation. This work demonstrates that bilateral neurogenic mechanisms are a part of general host defence reactions following acute unilateral challenge, for the first time revealing that local anaesthetics applied contralaterally, might be used for therapeutic purposes in relieving pain and inflammation.

7. 25. Cataract surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus : clinical studies

   Author : Anna Zaczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : diabetic retinopathy; clinically significant macular edema; miosis; mydriasis; neuropathy; phenylephrine; pilocarpine; visual acuity; laser flare intensity; cataract surgery; phacoemulsification; blood-aqueous barrier; postoperative inflammation; posterior capsule opacification; intraocular lens; Scheimflug camera;

   Abstract : The aim was to evaluate phacoemulsification cataract extraction with small incision and implantation of heparin-coated intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aqueous flare intensity, which reflects the protein concentration in the aqueous humor, was used to evaluate blood-aqueous function in patients with DM type I and type II. READ MORE
