1. 1. Respiratory and esophageal morbidity in adults with repaired esophageal atresia

   Författare :Vladimir Gatzinsky; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophageal atresia; Long-term outcome; Pulmonary function; Esophageal morbidity; Gastro-esophageal reflux; Dysphagia;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) often leads to persistent esophageal and respiratory symptoms, as well as impaired esophageal and lung function in adulthood. The reasons for this, and the connections between symptoms and documented abnormalities, are not fully understood. LÄS MER

3. 2. Etiological aspects of esophageal atresia

   Författare :Jenny Oddsberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Esophageal atresia (EA) is a severe congenital malformation, characterized by a discontinuity of the esophagus. To identify possible preventive measures, it is important to understand the etiology of EA, but little is known about risk factors. The principal aim of the present thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the etiology of EA. LÄS MER

4. 3. Patient-reported outcomes in children and adolescents born with esophageal atresia

   Författare :Michaela Dellenmark-Blom; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophageal Atresia; Patient Reported Outcome Measures; Quality of Life; Adaptation; Psychological;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Survival rates in children with esophageal atresia (EA) have reached 90-95%, but they are at risk of chronic morbidity, mainly related to esophageal and respiratory dysfunction. Knowledge of condition-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and coping is needed in order to properly understand the impact of the disease and treatment in the child’s daily life. LÄS MER

5. 4. Long-gap esophageal atresia - The development of an experimental model of esophageal regeneration in vivo as an attempt to improve clinical outcome

   Författare :Linus Jönsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-gap esophageal atresia; Follow-up; guided tissue regeneration; small intestinal submucosa; pulmonary physiology; esophageal replacement; extracellular matrix; macrophage phenotype;

   Sammanfattning : Background: A subset (~8-15%) of the patients born with esophageal atresia (EA) suffer from a lack of esophageal tissue, which makes a primary anastomosis difficult to achieve. This is most common in patients born without a distal fistula between the trachea and the distal esophageal segment. LÄS MER

7. 5. Function and morbidity of the esophagus and respiratory system in the growing child with esophageal atresia

   Författare :Felipe Donoso; Helene Engstrand Lilja; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Kate Abrahamsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :esophageal atresia; lung function; pulmonary function; pH-metry; PPI; anastomotic stricture; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital malformation that consists of various degrees of discontinuity of the esophagus and affects about 1:3000 live births. EA is usually corrected at birth with survival rates over 90%, which has shifted the focus towards improvement of associated morbidity and health-related quality of life. LÄS MER
