1. 21. Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental endocarditis and osteomyelitis

   Författare :Stefan A Hienz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus has persisted and is now resurging as an important hospital and community pathogen. The microorganism can cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from cutaneous infections to more specific infections such as osteomyelitis and infective endocarditis (IE). Infections of bone, or osteomyelitis, remain a clinical challenge. LÄS MER

3. 22. Studies of Experimental Bacterial Translocation

   Författare :Anders Stenbäck; Cecilia Johnsson; Staffan Meurling; Bengt Jeppsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Intestinal barrier; short bowel syndrome; small bowel transplantation; mesenteric lymph nodes; gadolinium chloride; T cell inactivation; glutamine; phosphatidylcholine; rat; Thiry-Vella loop; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : One of the main obstacles to maintaining patients with short bowel syndrome on parenteral nutrition, or successfully transplanting these patients with a small bowel graft, is the many severe infections that occur. Evidence is accumulating that translocating bacteria from the patient’s bowel causes a significant part of these infections. LÄS MER

4. 23. Pathogen colonisation, transmission and infection control measures in burn patients

   Författare :Marie Lindblad; Fredrik Huss; Jyrki Vuola; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Whole-genome sequencing; Burn injury; Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak; infection control prevention; UVC decontamination;

   Sammanfattning : Burn patients are susceptible to infections due to impaired natural defences when the epidermal barrier is damaged. Moreover, the trauma affects the patient's immune system through local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Adding to that, the need for intensive care treatment with multiple surgical interventions increases the risk of infection. LÄS MER

5. 24. Microglial Glutamate Transporters - Regulation of Expression and Possible Physiological Functions

   Författare :Mikael Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :anaphylatoxin; central nervous system; herpes simplex virus; glutamate transport; glutathione; GLT-1; lipopolysaccharide; microglia; neuroinflammation; oxidative stress; protection; tumour necrosis factor-alpha;

   Sammanfattning : Microglia are considered as the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Being the first line of defence, they have prominent roles in monitoring the homeostasis and the extracellular milieu and can rapidly and specifically react to any disturbances such as brain trauma, ischemia, neurodegenerative diseases, or infections.

7. 25. The next level : video gaming, cognition and motivation in surgical simulator training

   Författare :Marcus Schlickum; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Image guided surgery uses small incisions or existing entry ports of the body in order to decrease surgical trauma which will hopefully lead to less infections, complications and number of days needed in the hospital. It is associated with great difficulties and a steep learning curve due to several reasons such as inverted movements and 2D representation of the operating area. LÄS MER
