  3. 2. Shock wave effects on the vascular endothelium

    Författare :Anders Sondén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Shock waves; cavitation; explosions; high-energy missile trauma; ESWL; laser; endothelial cells; cell membrane damage; cytoskeleton; adhesion molecules; reactive oxygen species;

    Sammanfattning : A shock wave is a pressure wave with high amplitude and a velocity above sound. Man is exposed to shock waves (SWs) in connection with trauma, e.g. explosions and high-energy missiles and medical treatments such as extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Complications and treatment aspects of urological stone surgery

    Författare :Magnus Wagenius; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urologi;

    Sammanfattning : ConclusionsPaper I: Complications in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): A cohort study, conclusion: We conclude that there are few complications to modern ESWL treatment. 1 Hz should be used to reduce complications (p=0.025). As there is no indication that 1Hz is less effective than 1. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Trends and current clinical aspects of complicated gallstone disease - with special reference to endoscopic treatment

    Författare :Eric Kullman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Time trends regarding incidence, management, and outcome of acute (AC) and elective cholecystectomy (EC), as well as symptomatic (cholangitis, pancreatitis, jaundice) and asymptomatic (detected accidentally during cholecystectomy) common bile duct (CBD) stones were studied during the time period 1970-1986 in a welldefined Swedish population. From period I (1970-1978) to period II (1979-1986) there was a four-fold increase in the ratio of AC (period I: mean 10/100,000/year, period II: mean 30/100,000/year) to EC (period 1: mean 190/100,000/year, period II: mean 120/100,000/year).
