  2. 1. Volume kinetic development and application

    Author : Dan Drobin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Fluid therapy is a cornerstone in shock resuscitation in a such as treatment of anesthesia induce down regulation of the circulation and also restores many different types of dehydrated states. Current guidelines for fluid therapy are, however, based on experience, rules of thumb and effect-related end points, such as restoration of physiological parameters, which do not directly represent the volume effect of the fluid.

  4. 2. Water physiology in burn victims

    Author : Joachim Zdolsek; Tøstolv Lund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Total body water; Extracellular fluid; Burn; Bioelectrical impedance; Oedema; Extracellular matrix; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Patients who sustain a burn injury of more than 20 - 30 % TBSA will, if untreated, develop burn shock within a couple of hours. Flcid is lost fi·om the vascular compartment due to suction from the interstitium of the wound and due to a generalised increase in vascular permeability. READ MORE

  5. 3. Myocardial hypertrophy and extracellular volume by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Magnus Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease contributes greatly to the disease burden in many developed countries. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful imaging modality that can diagnose a vast range of these diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Extracellular Matrix and Actin Cytoskeleton - the Control Unit of Interstitial Fluid Volume

    Author : Vahid Reyhani; Kristofer Rubin; Markella Ponticos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Collagen; fibrin; integrins; PDGF-BB; gel contraction; fluid homeostasis; interstitial fluid pressure; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The regulation of fluid (water) volume in the body is crucial for tissue homeostasis. The interstitial fluid, which comprises almost 20% of the body fluid, is stored in the loose connective tissue and its volume is actively regulated by components of this tissue. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ethanol-mediated effects on astroglial cells in primary culture. With a focus on acute changes in intracellular Ca2+, cell volume, actin filaments, and gap junction coupling

    Author : Louise Adermark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; astrocyte; BaCl2; cell swelling; fura-2; furosemide; ouabain; scrape loading; volume estimation;

    Abstract : The astroglial cells are abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), where they control and regulate the homeostasis of the extracellular milieu. A change in astroglial cell volume, mediated through activation of neuroactive substances or changes in osmolarity, leads to changes in the size and geometry of the extracellular space volume, which could affect the diffusion and concentration of neuroactive substances.
