1. 21. Aspects of risk factors, pathophysiology and outcomes in trauma

   Författare :Jesper Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Trauma is a global health concern. Many trauma patients succumb on the scene or in the immediate phase after trauma. Patients surviving the initial phase may die at a later stage or suffer debilitating consequences in the post-resuscitation phase of trauma care in intensive care units. LÄS MER

3. 22. New methods for optimization of mechanical ventilation

   Författare :Peter Kostic; Peter Frykholm; Anders Larsson; Johan Petersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mechanical ventilation; optoelectronic plethysmography; forced oscillation technique; laser interferometry; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Sammanfattning : Mechanical ventilation saves lives, but it is an intervention fraught with the potential for serious complications. Prevention of these complications has become the focus of research and critical care in the last twenty years. LÄS MER

4. 23. 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. 24. Stable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels and outcomes

   Författare :Andreas Roos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Many patients who seek medical attention because of chest pain in the emergency department (ED), without myocardial infarction (MI) as a final diagnosis, will have cardiac troponin (cTn) levels above the upper normal limit when measured with the high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay. In patients with acute medical diseases other than MI which may affect hs-cTn levels, treatment strategies focus on underlying conditions. LÄS MER

7. 25. Evaluation of Morphed Human Body Models for Diverse Occupant Safety Analysis

   Författare :Karl-Johan Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diversity; Morphing; Validation; Virtual testing; Safety; Human body model;

   Sammanfattning : Female, obese, and elderly occupants are at increased risk of injury in vehicle accidents. Human Body Models (HBMs) are used to represent the human anatomy and to study injury mechanisms in mathematical crash test simulations. LÄS MER
