1. 1. Lung function in relation to exercise capacity in health and disease

   Författare :Amir Farkhooy; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Hans Hedenström; Harrpa Arnardottir; Ann Ekberg Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise capacity; Exercise test; Lung function; Spirometri; Diffusion capacity; COPD; Pulmonary hypertension; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Exercise capacity (EC) is widely recognized as a strong and independent predictor of mortality and disease progression in various diseases, including cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Furthermore, it is generally accepted that exercise capacity in healthy individuals and in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is mainly limited by the maximum cardiac output. LÄS MER

3. 2. Primary biliary cirrhosis : an epidemiological and clinical study based on patients from northern Sweden

   Författare :Per Uddenfeldt; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Primary biliary cirrhosis; incidence; prevalence; disease course; Kveim test; sarcoidosis; rheumatic disorders; lung function; diffusing capacity; Sjögren syndrome; von Willebrand factor;

   Sammanfattning : Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease, which primarily affects middle-aged women. The liver histology is characterized by inflammation and destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts as well as a high frequency of granuloma. LÄS MER

4. 3. Lung function in smokers - Aspects on COPD diagnosis and associations to atherosclerosis and alcohol consumption

   Författare :Sophia Frantz; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lung function; smoking; COPD; IOS; atherosclerosis; alcohol consumption;

   Sammanfattning : Smoking is the most common and important risk factor for reduced lung function. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects mainly smokers and is characterized by airflow obstruction, assessed using one of two major diagnostic spirometric criteria. LÄS MER

5. 4. Lung function in micro- and in hypergravity

   Författare :Stéphanie Montmerle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Lung physiology; human; spirometry; rebreathing; cardiogenic oscillations; phase IV; anti-G suit; stroke volume; weightlessness; closing volume; DLCO;

   Sammanfattning : The lung is extremely susceptible to gravity, even during short-term changes of the gravity vector, because it is a mixture of air and elastic tissue components. Yet, there is limited knowledge of the effects of gravity on the respiratory system. LÄS MER

7. 5. Effects of gravity and posture on the human lung

   Författare :Malin Rohdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Acceleration; cardiac output; cardiogenic oscillations; closing volume; gas exchange; heart I-ate; human centrifuge; hypergravity; lung diffusing capacity; prone posture; pulmonary-capillary blood volume; rebreathing; single-breath washout; supine;

   Sammanfattning : The presence of the gravitational force at the surface of Earth affects all of the organ systems in landliving creatures. The function of the lung is particularly susceptible to changes in the direction and magnitude of gravity because of the elastic structure of this organ. LÄS MER
