4. 2. Ventilation of the Paranasal Sinuses. A study using the 133-Xenon Washout Technique

   Author : Bo Paulsson; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; auditive system and speech; single photon emission computed tomography; paranasal sinuses; ventilation; 133-xenon; chronic sinusitis; nose-sinus model; endoscopic sinus surgery; oxymetazoline; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; audiology;

   Abstract : A noninvasive 133-xenon washout technique was used to evaluate the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses in healthy subjects and in patients with sinus disease. A mixture of air and 133-xenon is insufflated into the nasal cavities and passage into the sinuses is facilitated by a pressure increase created by letting the subjects inflate a balloon. READ MORE

5. 3. Novel Biomarkes in Acute Respiratory Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

   Author : Brynja Jónsdóttir; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Dyspnea; Respiratory failure; Biomarkers; GDF-15; ST2; IL-8; noninvasive ventilation; Acute Respiratory Failure; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Dyspnea; Biomarkers; ST2; IL-8; GDF-15; Prognosis and survival; Hypercapnia;

   Abstract : Abstract Background: Dyspnea is a common manifestation of a range of conditions and diseases, sometimes with multiple contributing factors. A subgroup of these patients present with acute hypecapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) and are treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). READ MORE

6. 4. Development of laser spectroscopy for scattering media applications

   Author : Mats Andersson; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laserteknik; Laser technology; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Fysik; Physics; coherent sampling; optical sensor; light absorption; noninvasive measurement; diode laser; scattering of light; laser spectroscopy; fluorescence spectroscopy; remote sensing; Lidar; DIAL;

   Abstract : Laser spectroscopy for both large and small spatial scales has been developed and used in various applications ranging from remote monitoring of atmospheric mercury in Spain to investigation of oxygen contents in wood, human sinuses, fruit, and pharmaceutical solids. Historically, the lidar group in Lund has performed many differential absorption lidar (DIAL) measurements with a mobile lidar system that was first described in 1987. READ MORE

7. 5. The preterm infant : evaluating and developing non-invasive respiratory strategies to avoid mechanical ventilation

   Author : Snorri F Donaldsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Avoiding mechanical ventilation of preterm infants is important to prevent morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive ventilation and CPAP has been shown to be superior to intubation and mechanical ventilation in preventing chronic lung disease in very preterm infants.1 . CPAP for infants was first used in the early 70’s. READ MORE
