  2. 1. On the Diagnosis and Management of Viral Respiratory Infections

    Author : Robin Brittain-Long; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiratory virus; Respiratory tract infection; Real-time PCR; Multiplex PCR; Antibiotic use;

    Abstract : Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs), are the most common infections in man, and represent a major global health burden. Viruses, most often causing a mild and self-limiting disease, yet with substantial morbidity and high costs for society, mainly cause upper respiratory tract infections. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. On the possible role of serotonin and angiotensin for the respiratory abnormalities observed in panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoria

    Author : Marie Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; panic disorder; premenstrual dysphoria; serotonin; paroxetine; PCPA; angiotensin; saralasin; respiration; respiratory variability; CO2; sodium lactate; female sex steroids; estrus cycle; Wistar rats;

    Abstract : Panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoria are accompanied by intriguing abnormalities related to the control of respiration, including enhanced responsiveness to CO2 and enhanced respiratory variability. These aberrations do not seem to be shared by other psychiatric disorders, but appear to be relatively unique for panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) : calibration, breathing pattern analysis and external CO2 dead space measurement

    Author : Tomas Strömberg; Gert Nilsson; Per M. Gustafsson; Steffen Groth; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) is an important tool for ventilatory monitoring in research studies because it has minimal influence on the spontaneous breathing pattern and because the rib cage and abdominal contributions to the breaths are measured. RIP measures changes in rib cage and abdominal cross-sectional areas which are translated into lung volume estimates via RIP calibration against e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Respiratory and cardiovascular effects of exposure to oxidative air pollutants

    Author : Stefan Barath; Ellinor Ädelroth; Anders Blomberg; E David Newby; M Howard Kipen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air Pollution; Particulate Matter; Diesel Exhaust; Ozone; Experimental Exposure studies; Luftföroreningar; Partiklar; Disel avgaser; ozon; Experimentella exponerings studier; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; kardiologi; Cardiology; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Background: The negative effects of air pollution on morbidity and mortality have been known since the mid 20th century. The two most well known examples are the Meuse Valley disaster in the 1930’ies and the London black fog in December 1952. READ MORE
