  1. 11. Pharyngeal function, airway protection and anesthetic agents

    Författare :Eva Sundman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aspiration; postoperative pulmonary complications; hypoxia; sedation.;

    Sammanfattning : Anesthesia related complications occur most frequently in the immediate postoperative period. The three most common conditions associated with such events are ventilatory failure, airway obstruction and aspiration. The pharynx is essential for respiration and protection of the upper airway.

  3. 12. Novel Analysis Toolkit for Capillaroscopic Images: Development and Clinical Evaluation

    Författare :Abdolamir Karbalaie; Björn-Erik Erlandsson; Olof Lindahl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Nailfold videocapillaroscopy; Image enhancement; Inter and intra-observer reliability; Tillämpad medicinsk teknik; Applied Medical Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is an invasive imaging technique that is used to assess the blood capillary network in the nailfold area. NC is routinely used for patients with microcirculation problems, such as systemic sclerosis and other connective tissue diseases. NC is repeatable and appears to be simple and harmless. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Measuring distal airspace dimensions with nanoparticles. Initial development of a diagnostic method

    Författare :H Laura Aaltonen; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nanoparticles; COPD; AiDA; biomarker;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) consists of emphysema and bronchial disease. The pulmonary function tests currently used to diagnose COPD have poor sensitivity for early disease. This may delay diagnosis and lead to a poorer prognosis compared to establishing the diagnosis at an earlier stage. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Exhaled nitric oxide in extreme environments

    Författare :Tryggve Hemmingsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exhaled nitric oxide; hand-held instrument; electrochemical detector; microgravity; International Space Station; high altitude; hypobaric hypoxia; normobaric hypoxia; backdiffusion;

    Sammanfattning : Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a useful marker for lower airway inflammation. Since NO was found to be a component of an exhaled breath in the early 1990´s, the Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO 50) measurement is now well accepted among clinicians as a complementary test in the management of asthma.

  7. 15. Cardiovascular disease in systemic sclerosis

    Författare :Annica Nordin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease, characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, vasculopathy and the production of autoantibodies. Cardiac and pulmonary disease manifestations are major causes of morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
