  1. 6. Treatment of septic patients : fluids, blood and timing of antibiotics

    Author : Maria Cronhjort; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Fluid therapy is an important component of the treatment of septic shock. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends early fluid resuscitation with at least 30 ml/kg and there is no recommendation on when to stop giving fluids. Many studies have shown an association between fluid overload and morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  3. 8. The effect of anaesthesia and adrenergic therapy on the distribution and elimination of a crystalloid solution studied by volume kinetic analysis

    Author : Carl-Arne Ewaldsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Intravenous fluid therapy is a mandatory treasure during anaesthesia and surgery. It is sometimes combined with adrenergic therapy to maintain haemodynamic stability. It is of great importance to know how the body handles the distribution of fluid in these circumstances in order to minimize the risk of fluid overload. READ MORE

  4. 9. Energy-metabolic aspects of ischemia and pre-treatment: studies in porcine myocardium

    Author : Katarina Ahlström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : myocardial ischemia; adenosine; preconditioning; carbon monoxide;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is to clarify mechanisms involved in protective pre-treatment of ischemia by carbon monoxide (CO) and ischemic preconditioning (IP), so that new pro-tective therapies can be designed. This is studied in heart muscle, where the clinical gain would ultimately be to be able to prolong the period during a threatened myocardial infarction where permanent injury can be prevented.

  5. 10. Idiopathic menorrhagia : studies of angiogenesis and surgical therapy

    Author : Miriam Mints; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Menorrhagia; TCRE; endometrium; angiogenesis; VEGF; VEGFR1; -2; -3; gaps.;

    Abstract : Background: Excessive menstrual bleeding, menorrhagia (i.e. > 80 nil loss of blood) is a com-mon gynecological problem in women of reproductive age, accounting for over 20% of visits to gynecology outpatient clinics. The disorder may not only cause iron deficiency anemia but also considerable social discomfort and reduction in the quality of life. READ MORE
