  1. 6. S100B and Cardiac Surgery

    Författare :Henrik Bjursten; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; S100-B; S100B; S100beta; brain damage; cardiac surgery; CABG; renal function; autotransfusion; Cardiovascular system; serum marker; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Sammanfattning : The brain-derived protein S100B is a 21 Kda dimerand have been used as a serum marker for brain damage of different etiology. The feasability of protein S100B as serum marker for brain damage after cardiac surgery was studied in this thesis. One unexpected finding was made, which changed the basis for interpration of S100B levels. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery

    Författare :Anders Ahlsson; Anders Englund; Johan Brandt; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Inflammation; CABG surgery; Survival analysis; Follow-up studies; Ablation; Microwave; Transmurality; Atrial function; Tissue velocity echocardiography; Thoracic surgery; Thoraxkirurgi; Kirurgi; särskilt thoraxkirurgi; Surgery esp. Thoracic and Cardivascular Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, one-third of the patients experience episodes of AF during the first postoperative days (postoperative AF), and patients with preoperative AF (concomitant AF) can be offered ablation procedures in conjunction with surgery, in order to restore ordinary sinus rhythm (SR).

  4. 8. A minimally invasive axial blood flow pump : an experimental and clinical study

    Författare :Urban Lönn; Howard Frazier; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Axial blood flow pump; Hemopump; LVAD; Beating heart CABG; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The first aim of this thesis was to evaluate a new minimally invasive axial blood flow pump for treatment of patients needing circulatory support after open heart surgery. This system, the Hemopump temporary cardiac assist device, is a very small catheter mounted intracorporeal pump, which is introduced transvalvularly into the left ventricle. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Endothelial function and dysfunction in coronary artery bypass grafting

    Författare :Ulf Lockowandt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :CABG; Endothelin; Endothelin-blockers; endothelium; lactate; off-pump CABG; prostacyclin; radial artery; unstable angina pectoris;

    Sammanfattning : The integrity of the endothelium is of importance for short- and long-term results following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this thesis different factors of the endothelial role in the regulation of vascular tone in relation to various current aspects of CABG have been investigated. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Responsiveness of human circulating phagocytes in relation to the inflammatory condition

    Författare :Lena Wehlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :CABG; COPD; CPB; flow cytometry; inflammation; leukocyte; responsiveness;

    Sammanfattning : In the early stages of the inflammatory process, monocytes and granulocytes constitute important effector cells that must function correctly in order to clear infection. By activating leukocytes in vitro it is possible to mimic the in vivo activation of these cells and study their activation potential. LÄS MER
