  2. 16. Photon propagation in tissue and in biological fluids : applied for vascular imaging and haemodialysis monitoring

    Author : Ivo Fridolin; David T. Delpy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the photon propagation in tissue and in biological fluids in two main areas: (1) optical vessel imaging and (2) monitoring solutes removed in haemodialysis.The aim of the optical vessel imaging study was to design and assess a new optical scanning technique for vessel imaging using NIR radiation.

  4. 17. The effects of haemodialysis and metabolic acidosis on protein metabolism

    Author : Erland Löfberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : haemodialysis; metabolic acidosis; skeletal muscle; protein metabolism; amino acids; branched-chain amino acids; flooding dose; ribosomes; glucocorticoids;

    Abstract : Chronic renal failure and uraemia are characterised by gradual loss of renal function with an accumulation of metabolic and toxic waste products as well as disturbances in several organs and hormone functions. Two factors affect the catabolism in renal failure - i.e., the haemodialysis procedure and metabolic acidosis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Haemodialysis Treatment Monitored On-line by Ultra Violet Absorbance

    Author : Fredrik Uhlin; Lars-Göran Lindberg; Martin Magnusson; Bernd Stegmayr; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dialysis; Hemodialysis; Proteins; Metabolism; Renal dialysis; Ultraviolet spectrophotometry; Urea; Uremia; Kidney diseases; Njursjukdomar;

    Abstract : This thesis describes and evaluates an optical method utilizing ultra violet (UV) absorbance for on-line monitoring of haemodialysis treatment. Increased efficiency of haemodialysis treatment is considered to correlate to decreased morbidity and mortality when urea clearance (Kt/V) is elevated. READ MORE

  6. 19. How to reduce the exposure to anticoagulants when performing haemodialysis in patients with a bleeding risk : a study of methods used in clinical practise

    Author : Malin Skagerlind; Bernd Stegmayr; Birgitta Olofsson; Fredrik Uhlin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute kidney injury; dialysis; hemorrhage; anticoagulation; Akut njursvikt; dialys; blödning; antikoagulation; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : When a patient suffers from kidney failure and also has an enhanced risk of bleeding, the standard haemodialysis (HD) treatment becomes a problem. When human blood comes in contact with artificial material, as in the tubing system and in the dialyser (the extra corporeal circuit, ECC), the coagulation system is activated. READ MORE

  7. 20. Measurement of trace components in aqueous solutions with near and mid infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy

    Author : Peter Snoer Jensen; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Near-infrared; Temperature dependency; Dual-beam; Optical null; Optimal pathlength Haemodialysis liquid; Urea; Glucose; Phosphate; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Infrared; Water absorption; Fourier transform spectroscopy; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Snoer Jensen;

    Abstract : This thesis treats various aspects of the measurement of trace components in aqueous solutions with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This technique has several applications from such diverse fields as dairy industry and biomedical optics. READ MORE
