  2. 11. 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. 12. Preservation of fertility through cryopreservation and in vitro maturation of human ovarian follicles and oocytes

    Author : Julius Hreinsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Oocyte; maturation in-vitro; cryopreservation; ovarian follicles; culture; IVM; preservation of fertility;

    Abstract : One of the most rapidly expanding fields in assisted reproduction is the preservation of fertility for young women at risk of premature ovarian failure. This may be caused by cytotoxic therapy or other reasons. Cryopreservation of follicles in ovarian tissue has been successful in animal models with live young being born. READ MORE

  5. 13. Monitoring and prevention of ischaemia-reperfusion injury in liver transplantation : experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Grzegorz Nowak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver function after transplantation is determined not only by the quality of the donor organ or recipient related factors, but also by factors associated with organ preservation. During preservation, the liver graft is exposed to ischaemia and reperfusion with subsequent injury to the transplanted liver. READ MORE

  6. 14. Surgery and Ischemia in Uterus Transplantation. Studies in various experimental models

    Author : Caiza Wranning; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : animal models; cold ischemia-reperfusion injury; inflammation; transplantation; uterus;

    Abstract : The use of transplantation to enhance quality of life is a growing clinical field that also includes transplantation of reproductive organs. Transplantation of the uterus has been suggested as future method to treat uterus factor infertility. READ MORE

  7. 15. Novel culture systems to model testicular function and organization

    Author : João Pedro Alves Lopes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In vitro systems to model the testicular microenvironment are required to study physiology and pathology of the testis, the gonadotoxic effect of environmental and pharmaceutical chemicals, as well as to explore the mechanisms ruling spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) self-renewal and differentiation. The knowledge produced in in vitro experiments, using animal, but most importantly utilizing human models, will contribute to the discovery of safe medical treatments and might provide translational tools to treat male infertility problems.
