  2. 1. NHBD Lung Transplantation

    Author : Per Wierup; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Surgery; rat; pig; edema formation; lung preservation; bronchial healing; gas exchange; lung evaluation; Lung transplantation; non-heart-beating donor NHBD ;

    Abstract : The waiting list for lung transplantations world-wide is steadily growing. So, the use of lungs from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) needs to be addressed. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate, in realistic animal models, the new donor organ concept: NHBD transplantation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Particle transport in human lung : effects of particle size and shape

    Author : Sofie Högberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Recent studies have shown that nanoparticles may be more toxic than larger particles of the same material, but the health risks associated with widespread use largely depend on the extent of exposure. When dealing with potentially toxic particles, precautionary measures have to be taken in order to minimize contact. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Neutrophil and Platelet Adhesive Interactions in Septic Lung Injury

    Author : Asad Muhammad; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : Leukocytes; chemokines; platelets; lung; sepsis;

    Abstract : Sepsis induced by intestinal perforation is a life-threatening illness and is a frequent cause of leukocyte-mediated lung injury. Although antimicrobial therapy has been the central clinical strategy for these patients, the survival rates in such patients are still very low because of their impaired host defense mechanisms.

  7. 5. Development and regulation of alveolar fluid clearance in the guinea pig

    Author : Andreas Norlin; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oxytocin-induced preterm labor; IRDS; fetal lung fluid; preterm lung development; amiloride-sensitive sodium channels; beta-adrenergic stimulation; alveolar epithelium; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Abstract : Alveolar fluid clearance is driven by active absorption of Na+ across the alveolar epithelium. Development and hormonal regulation of alveolar fluid clearance over 1 hour was studied by instillation of a protein-containing, isosmolar fluid into lungs of fetal, newborn, and adult guinea pigs.
