  2. 1. On Acute Thrombo-Embolic Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery

    Author : Stefan Acosta; Martin Björck; Mats Ögren; Bengt Lindblad; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; acute thrombo-embolic occlusion; superior mesenteric artery; intestinal infarction; D-Dimer; intestinal revascularisation; population-based study; incidence; autopsy; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Acute thrombo-embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with intestinal infarction is a lethal disease, difficult to diagnose in time, with unknown incidence and cause-specific mortality. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the disease and to develop diagnostic methods. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early detection of major surgical postoperative complications evaluated by microdialysis

    Author : Tal Hörer; Kjell Janson; Lars Norgren; Bengt Jeppsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; aortic occlusion balloon; anastomotic leakage; glycerol; intraabdominal hypertension; intraperitoneal microdialysis; intestinal ischemia; intraabdominal metabolism; lactate pyruvate ratio; postoperative complications; ruptured abdominal aortic anerusym; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Major abdominal surgery may be followed by postoperative complications, especially in the elderly and patients with co morbidities as diabetes mellitus and obesity. Some of the most feared complications as anastomotic leakage, abdominal infections, abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intestinal ischemia can lead to sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with high morbidity and mortality.

  5. 3. Acute Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery : Diagnosis and treatment

    Author : Tomas Block; Stefan Acosta; Martin Björck; Torbjörn Nilsson; Ulf Hedin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; superior mesenteric artery; acute mesenteric ischemia; acute thrombo-embolic occlusion; computed tomography; vascular surgery; serum biomarkers; microarray; intestinal revascularization; Vascular surgery; Kärlkirurgi; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a condition associated with high mortality and morbidity. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for acute SMA occlusion. READ MORE

  6. 4. The small intestine in experimental peritonitis : An experimental study focusing om intestinal energy metabolism, bacterial translocation and mucosal immunology

    Author : Mikael Ljungdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Bacterial translocation; endotoxin; faecal peritonitis; high-energy phosphates; hypoxia; intramucosal pH; IL-6; ischaemia; lactate; lymphocytes; mucosal injury; oxygendelivery; pigs; sepsis; tonometry; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : The gut is highly susceptible to injury during sepsis. An impaired mucosal barrier permitstranslocation of enteric microorganisms to blood or other organs. In a porcine model sepsiswas induced by faecal peritonitis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microdialysis monotoring of ischemic metabolism in splanchnic organs : liver and intesine

    Author : Johan Ungerstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Monitoring vascular complications in the liver and the intestine is of great importance. Ischemia in these organs is life threatening and may cause organ dysfunction, sepsis and multiple organ failure. Aim: The present thesis explores the use of microdialysis as a monitoring technique in the liver and the intestine. READ MORE
