2. 1. Effects of perioperative nutrition on insulin action in postoperative metabolism

   Author : Mattias Soop; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Surgery; glucose clamping technique; insulin resistance; glucose metabolism; protein metabolism; recovery;

   Abstract : Surgical operations are a fundamental part of contemporary treatment of disease. For example, 43 % of in-patients in Sweden undergo a surgical operation. Surgery is not yet without significant risks. Infectious complication rates following abdominal surgery, for instance, remain at 9-25 %. READ MORE

   Keywords : Surgery; Insulin resistance; Glucosemetabolism; Glucose clamping technique; Gastric emptying; Immobilization; Preoperative fasting; ICF-I; Hospital stay; Stableisotopes ISBN 9;

   Abstract : In Sweden with nine million inhabitants, 450,000 operations (outpatients excluded) are performed every year resulting in 2,250,000 treatment days in hospital. Surgical operations are part of the treatment for 44% of all patients admitted to hospital care occupying 24% of all hospital beds. READ MORE

5. 3. Microdialysis in reconstructive surgery : a clinical and experimental study focusing on monitoring flap metabolism and viability

   Author : Jonas Röjdmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Microdialysis; monitoring; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; pyruvate; ischemia; reperfusion; arterial occlusion; venous occlusion; tissue necrosis; laser doppler flowmetry; fluorescein;

   Abstract : When flap procedures are used to repair complex tissue wounds adequate flap circulation is of supreme importance. If the circulation is disturbed by either vascular occlusion, hemorrhage, or infection, delayed healing and flap necrosis may ensue. READ MORE

6. 4. Microdialysis : potentials and limitations

   Author : Anna von Platen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Despite improvements in operating technique and post-operative management, many patients undergoing liver transplantation still suffer post-operative complications, which may lead to graft loss or patient death. Patients are monitored closely post-operatively using blood chemistry, diagnostic imaging and liver biopsies to detect these complications including rejection and arterial- and portal vein thrombosis.
