1. 11. Different aspects of breast reconstruction : contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, postmastectomy radiotherapy, complications after biomaterials injection

   Författare :Dmytro Unukovych; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :breast reconstruction;

   Sammanfattning : The advances in breast reconstruction and oncoplastic surgery have positively affected the cosmetic and functional outcomes without compromising oncological safety. In this thesis, different aspects and challenges of reconstruction of the breast have been addressed. LÄS MER

3. 12. Atelectasis and gas exchange impairment after cardiopulmonary bypass : An experimental study

   Författare :Lennart Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Lung: cardiopulmonary bypass; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Despite of the improvement in management and equipment for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), postoperative pulmonary complications remain a major problem after cardiac surgery. In the present thesis, using a pig model, atelectasis has been tested as a cause of the increase in intrapulmonary shunt commonly seen after CPB. LÄS MER

4. 13. CARDIOTHORACIC TRAUMA: A Scandinavian Perspective

   Författare :Moheb A. Rashid; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Cardiothoracic trauma; Trauma; Extrapleural hematoma; Sternal fractures; Heart and lung contusions; Cardiac; pulmonary; and thoracic aortic injuries; Urgent or emergency room department thoracotomy; Sternotomy; Paraplegia; Outcome.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Trauma in general is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and causes more loss of productive years than ischemic heart disease and malignancy together. Cardiothoracic trauma occurs in 60% of multitrauma patients and is 2-3 times more common than intra-abdominal visceral injuries. LÄS MER

5. 14. Pulmonary Atelectasis in General Anaesthesia : Clinical Studies on the Counteracting Effects of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure

   Författare :Erland Östberg; Mats Enlund; Lennart Edmark; Sophie Lindgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; General anaesthesia; pulmonary atelectasis; positive end-expiratory pressure; oxygen; computed tomography; continuous positive airway pressure; mechanical ventilation; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Sammanfattning : Partial lung collapse, i.e., pulmonary atelectasis, is common during general anaesthesia. The main causal mechanism is reduced lung volume with airway closure and subsequent gas absorption from preoxygenated alveoli. LÄS MER

7. 15. Small bowel obstruction and toxicity of a new model of adhesion prevention

   Författare :Karolin Isaksson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small bowel obstruction; predictive parameters; appendectomy; open versus laparoscopic; abdominal adhesions; prevention; polypeptides; toxicity; biodistribution;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common surgical diagnosis. If no signs of strangulation are evident, the majority of the patients can be conservatively managed. Approximately one third of the patients need surgical treatment and there is a need for early parameters that can predict operative intervention. LÄS MER
