  2. 16. SARS coronavirus : the role of accessory proteins and nitric oxide in the replication cycle

    Author : Sara Åkerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) caused the first pandemic of the 21st century. The etiological agent was identified as a novel coronavirus. Until then, human coronaviruses (HCoVs) had only been known to cause the common cold . Data indicated that the virus originated from animals. READ MORE

  4. 17. Evaluation of efficacy and safety of pulsed inhaled nitric oxide in the anesthetized horse : preparing for clinical use

    Author : Tamara Grubb; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Anesthetized, recumbent horses commonly develop hypoxemia secondary to ventilation/perfusion (VA/Q) mismatch and shunting of pulmonary blood (Qs/Qt) through atelectatic lung regions. Hypoxemia in the anesthetized horse is difficult to treat and ventilatory therapy is often ineffective. READ MORE

  5. 18. Anaesthetics and the blood vessel wall. Actions of propofol and sevoflurane on sympathetic and endothelial control of smooth muscle function

    Author : Karin Thorlacius; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård; vein.; artery; endothelium; sympathetic nervous system; inhalation agent sevoflurane; Anaesthesia; intravenous propofol;

    Abstract : The anaesthetics we use today dose-dependently decrease the mean arterial pressure partly due to direct or indirect effects on the blood vessels. In the present thesis human omental arteries and veins and rat femoral arteries were investigated in vitro concerning the effects of the intravenous anaesthetic propofol and the volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane on the function of the perivascular sympathetic nerves and the endothelial cells.

  6. 19. Hantaviruses : animal models, immunology and pathogenesis

    Author : Jonas Klingström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hantavirus; animal models; vaccine; passive immunization; nitric oxide;

    Abstract : Hantaviruses cause two serious and often fatal human zoonotic diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia, and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the Americas. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne and are transmitted to humans via inhalation of contaminated rodent excreta. READ MORE

  7. 20. Clinical studies of asthma phenotypes focusing on the role of the leukotrienes

    Author : Per Gyllfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : >asthma; aspirin intolerance; leukotrienes; leukotriene D4 responsiveness; methacholine responsiveness; exhaled nitric oxide;

    Abstract : Inflammation in the airways in connection to asthma is a complex phenomenon and the mechanisms underlying the associated clinical symptoms involve the interaction of many different kinds of cells and mediators, giving rise to different phenotypes. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms that results in two of these phenotypes, i. READ MORE
