2. 11. Optimizing and evaluation of a methacholine provocation test : with application in occupational research

   Author : Britt-Marie Sundblad; Bengt-Eric Skoogh; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Airway responsiveness; methacholine provocation; nitric oxide; eucapnic hyperventilation; organic dust; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

   Abstract : We have developed a methacholine provocation method, which detects bronchial responsiveness in more than 80% of healthy subjects. The method enables us to detect differences in bronchial responsiveness within the normal range. With this method FEV1 and Gaw had similar sensitivity in detecting small differences in bronchial responsiveness. READ MORE

4. 12. Effects of nitric oxide on hemostasis with special attention to platelet function

   Author : Johanna Albert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : nitric oxide; bleeding time; platelet aggregation; platelet secretion; P-selectin expression; flow cytometry; NG-monomethyl-L-arginine; L-NMMA; nasal air; skin perfusion; GSNO; humans;

   Abstract : Endogenous endothelium-derived NO provides a continuous vasodilating effect, but may also in humans have an antithrombotic effect, which is exerted by inhibition of platelet function and by vasodilatation. Inhalation of NO selectively relaxes the pulmonary vascular bed, without causing systemic hypotension. READ MORE

5. 13. Regional pulmonary vasoreactivity, with special reference to nitric oxide, prostacyclin and body posture

   Author : Danguolé Rimeika; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Regional pulmonary perfusion; nitric oxide; prostacyclin; NOS-inhibition; COX-inhibition; shunt; one-lung ventilation;

   Abstract : The primary aim of the study was to investigate possible mechanisms behind the improved arterial oxygenation in ventilator-treated patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) when turned into prone position. A secondary aim was to discover new knowledge of possible importance for treatment of patients with oxygenation problems in intensive care and during anesthesia. READ MORE

6. 14. Acute lung injury : incidence and predictors of outcome with special reference to inhaled nitric oxide

   Author : Owe Luhr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Respiratory distress syndrome; Adult; -drug-therapy; -mortality; Treatment; -outcome; Nitric oxide; therapeutic-use; administration-and-dosage; -adverse effects; Mutagenicity; tests; Chromosome aberrations; Risk factors; Logistic models; Prospective studies.;

   Abstract : This work started out as a critical examination of the initial clinical experiences with inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) to patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Scandinavia 1991-1994. During this examination, we found that epidemiological data and prognostic factors were lacking in Scandinavia for these patient groups, making it difficult to evaluate new therapies. READ MORE

7. 15. The role of nitric oxide in porcine models of asthma and acute lung injury

   Author : Roelinde Middelveld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is a modulator of many important physiological processes in the body. It is produced endogenously in several cell types by a family of NO synthases (NOS). READ MORE
