  2. 1. Presence of microemboli during haemodialysis and methods to reduce the exposure to microbubbles

    Author : Forsberg Ulf; Bernd Stegmayr; Per Jonsson; Ingela Fehrman Ekholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemodialysis; in vivo; microemboli; microbubbles; dialyzer; air trap; venous chamber;

    Abstract : Despite chronic dialysis treatment, patients with end stage renal disease undergoing maintenance haemodialysis (HD) remain at a substantially increased risk of morbidity. Previous reports using Doppler ultrasound (DU) during HD have revealed microembolic signals (ME) in the venous circulation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diving and the brain

    Author : Anders Rosén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biomarkers; brain; central nervous system; decompression sickness; dive research; diving; neuronal damage; saturation diving; tau protein; venous gas embolism; neurofilament light; glial fibrillary acid protein; tau; VGE;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction There are reports that long-term diving is associated with cognitive impairments. This raises the question if diving itself is harmful to the brain in the absence of decompression sickness or hypoxia. READ MORE

  5. 3. Infammatory response to hyperbaric trauma. An experimental and clinical study

    Author : Anders Ersson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård; Complement; Cytokines; NGAL; Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor; decompression sickness; inflammation; Diving; bubbles;

    Abstract : Reductions in ambient pressure liberates gas in various tissues and can result in decompression illness. In this thesis the patophysiological implications of a blood gas interface resulting from decompression was investigated with reference to the influence on biochemical mediators of inflammation.

  6. 4. Fat contamination of pericardial suction blood in cardiac surgery : clinical and experimental studies in perspectives of transfusion logistics

    Author : Micael Appelblad; Gunnar Engström; Krister Lindmark; Anders Jeppsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; blood transfusion; cardiopulmonary bypass; pericardial suction blood; fat contamination; lipid microemboli; density separation; surface adsorption; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Introduction: During cardiac surgery aided by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) the autotransfusion of pericardial suction blood (PSB) is regarded mandatory to limit allogeneic blood exposure. PSB is however proposed as a source of lipid microemboli and to contribute to brain damage. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiovascular effects of diesel exhaust : mechanistic and interventional studies

    Author : Magnus Lundbäck; Anders Blomberg; Benoit Nemery; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; diesel exhaust; nitrogen dioxide; endothelin-1; cardiovascular effects; exhaust particle trap; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Air pollution is associated with negative health effects. Exposure to combustion-derived particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been related to increased incidence of cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality, specifically in susceptible populations. Ambient particles, with a diameter of less than 2. READ MORE
