  2. 1. Free oscillation rheometry in the assessment of platelet quality

    Author : Nahreen Tynngård; Gösta Berlin; Tomas Lindahl; James AuBuchon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coagulation; elasticity; platelets; rheology; transfusion; Transfusion medicine; Transfusionsmedicin;

    Abstract : Platelets play an important role in the haemostatic process in order to seal damaged blood vessels. The platelets form a platelet plug at the damaged area and prevent blood loss. Once the damage to the vessel wall has been covered, the platelets retract the coagulum, to allow the blood to flow freely in the vessel. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards a detailed understanding of the red blood cell storage lesion : and its consequences for in vivo survival following transfusion

    Author : Andreas Hult; Christer Malm; Per-Arne Oldenborg; Martin L. Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Red blood cell; erythrocyte; transfusion; macrophage; phagocytosis; storage lesion; eryptosis; Class A scavenger receptor; transfusion medicine; transfusionsmedicin;

    Abstract : Red blood cells (RBCs) are vital for oxygen delivery to tissues and constitute the vast majority of all cells in blood. After leaving the red bone marrow as mature cells, RBCs have a lifespan of approximately 120 days before they are removed from the circulation by macrophages, mainly in the spleen and liver.

  5. 3. Safety and biological aspects of present techniques of haemodialysis

    Author : Per Jonsson; Hans Dietrich Polaschegg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : haemodialysis; safety; leakage current; central dialysis catheter; microbubbles; microemboli; air contamination; transfusion medicine; transfusionsmedicin;

    Abstract : Introduction: Haemodialysis (HD) is a treatment in which blood from the patient is lead through a tubing system into a dialysis device in a extracorporeal circuit. This circuit contains semipermeable membranes (dialyzer). Blood with uraemic toxins flows on one side, and a salt solution flows on the other side. READ MORE

  6. 4. Growth hormone and PPARalpha in the regulation of genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism

    Author : Caroline Améen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Growth hormone; insulin; SREBP-1; lipogenic enzymes; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; PPARalpha; LXRalpha; triglycerides; liver;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) plays a key role in the regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Its sexually dimorphic secretory pattern regulates many sex-differentiated functions in the liver, such as triglyceride synthesis and VLDL secretion. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cell cycle genes in chondrosarcoma. Involvement of the Id1 and p16 pathways

    Author : Julia Asp; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : chondrosarcoma; articular chondrocytes; cell cycle; p16; Id1; helix-loop-helix;

    Abstract : Chondrosarcoma is a malignant, cartilaginous tumour arising from bone. The wide variationin morphology, behaviour and clinical outcome raise the question whether chondrosarcomasare several different but closely related tumours rather than a single entity. READ MORE
