  2. 16. Inflammation in Cancellous and Cortical Bone Healing

    Author : Love Tätting; Per Aspenberg; Anna Fahlgren; Jan Ernerudh; Jörg Cammenga; Louis C. Gerstenfeld; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Fractures in humans most commonly occur near the joints, in the metaphyseal bone area mainly consisting of cancellous bone. Despite this, mainly cortical fractures, located in the diaphyseal bone area, have been studied in experimental models of bone healing. READ MORE

  4. 17. Regional oxygenation in cardiac surgery. Influence of temperature, pump flow and insulin

    Author : Lena Lindholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary bypass; cardiac surgery; regional oxygenation; venous oxygenation; splanchnic oxygenation; insulin; vasodilation; temperature; pump flow;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma triggers neural, endocrine and inflammatory reactions with subsequent alterations in systemic and regional blood flow, blood pressure and metabolism. These changes are detectable after all major surgical procedures but are often more pronounced after cardiac surgery, probably because of blood exposure to artificial surfaces of the heart lung machine, temperature modulation (e.

  5. 18. Muscle protein synthesis : effects of metabolic stress and feeding

    Author : Inga Tjäder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma and critical illness are pathophysiological conditions where the metabolic stress leads to an imbalance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown, resulting in a net loss of body proteins. A major part of the protein losses comes from skeletal muscle. Muscle depletion is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  6. 19. Non-invasive optical monitoring of free and bound oxygen in humans

    Author : Emilie Krite Svanberg; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intensive care; oxygenation; free gas; near-infrared spectroscopy; absorption spectroscopy; scattering;

    Abstract : Background: Possibilities of detecting oxygen - both in its free form, as gas in the lungs, and in its bound form, as oxygenated hemoglobin - have been explored in this thesis. Perfusion and oxygenation of vital organs (e.g. READ MORE

  7. 20. Influence of Oxidative Stress on Muscle and Bone

    Author : Bengt Östman; Karl Michaëlsson; Lars Nordsletten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone mineral density; coenzyme Q10; exercise; ischaemia; isprostanes; muscle; oxidative stress; oxygen radicals; reperfusion; tocopherol; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; ortopedi; Orthopaedics;

    Abstract : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce oxidative stress and although are primarily recognized for playing a deleterious biological role, they can be beneficial to cell systems. ROS are extremely short-lived and normally tightly regulated by antioxidant defence systems. READ MORE
