1. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy - Effects on Sternotomy Wounds and the Intrathoracic Organs
Abstract : Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely adopted for the treatment of deep sternal wound infections due to its excellent clinical outcome. However, the mechanisms of action and effects on hemodynamics have not been thoroughly elucidated. READ MORE

2. Assessment of increased upper airway resistance in snorers. Methodological and diagnostic considerations
Abstract : Sleep-related partial upper airway obstruction may cause increased morbidity and mortality, but diagnosis and treatment of patients is varying and inconsistent. The present studies were aimed to evaluate presently applied indirect methods for assessing respiratory ventilation and to investigate the value and accuracy in estimating upper airway resistance during sleep by measuring intrathoracic pressure variation with a microchip catheter in the esophagus.

3. Clinical Electrocochleography in Menière´s disease
Abstract : Electrocochleography (ECoG) is an objective method to evaluate cochlear electrophysiology. The recordings are considered to reflect the mechano-electric processes of the cochlea, and can indicate the presence of suspected endolymphatic hydrops. READ MORE

5. Arterial pulse wave analysis. With special reference to vasoactive and anaesthetic drugs and to heart lung interactions
Abstract : In the young systolic arterial pressures (SAP) are higher in the radial artery than in the proximal aorta. Due to increased large artery stiffness and early pulse wave reflection aortic SAP increases more with age than peripheral SAP. READ MORE
