  2. 1. Respiratory Tract Infections: Aspects of Aetiology, Virulence, and Communicable Disease Control

    Author : Jonas Ahl; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; day care center; communicable disease control intervention; eradication therapy; invasive pneumococcal disease; serotype 3; aetiology; ventilator-associated pneumonia;

    Abstract : The paediatric nasopharyngeal flora is regarded as the largest reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the carrier state is always antecedent to infection and a prerequisite for dispersion of these bacteria. Pneumococci are the predominant aetiology of bacterial respiratory tract infections and a major cause of morbidity and mortality, in the most severe cases due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; mainly sepsis and meningitis).

    Abstract : Lung diseases continue to present a large burden to public health, especially in industrialized countries. For abetter understanding of the underlying patho-mechanisms in lung related diseases as well as for testing theefficacy of novel therapies, preclinical studies in animal models are indispensable.

  5. 3. Exhaled Breath Condensate in Obstructive Lung Diseases : A Methodological study

    Author : Anette Davidsson; Birgitta Schmekel; Rolf Andersson; Sven‐Erik Dahlén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common inflammatory airway diseases characterized by airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion. Prediction of the outcome of these diseases may not be performed and the need for non-invasive diagnostic tools capable of identifying inflammation in asthma and COPD becomes therefore obvious.

  6. 4. Aspects of lung mechanics during mechanical ventilation

    Author : Magni Gudmundsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute respiratory failure; Acute respiratory distress syndrome; Mechanical ventilation; Transpulmonary pressure; Expiratory time constant; Esophageal pressure;

    Abstract : Background: One of the most common diagnoses in the intensive care unit is acute respiratory failure. In its most severe form it is called acute respiratory distress syndrome and often requires mechanical ventilation. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Rapid Differential Diagnostic Method for Detection of Post-Neurosurgical Infections

    Author : Amir Ramezani; Annette Theodorsson; Aki Laakso; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This work pertains to the application of a biochemical assay with the purpose of monitoring for and early discovery of an active bacterial infection through direct sampling and rapid testing of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). A diagnostic device is described and evaluated, which aids in quickly discerning, verifying, or ruling out active infection at the injury site. READ MORE
