1. Exploring Intestinal Ischemia : An experimental study
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Unrecognized intestinal mucosal ischemia in severely ill patients may trigger development of multiple organ failure. Such ischemia can be evaluated by intraluminal tonometry reflecting mucosal PCO2 and intramucosal pH (pHi). LÄS MER
2. Enterocutaneous fistula : Patients', families' and healthcare professionals' experiences - epidemiology and outcomes
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Enterocutaneous fistula is a rare and complex condition with high morbidity. The condition causes multiple health problems, and it is both physically and psychologically demanding for the affected person and their families. LÄS MER
3. Intestinal transplantation: Outcome, complications and diagnostic approach
Sammanfattning : Background: Intestinal transplantation is a potentially lifesaving procedure conducted in candidates with e.g. intestinal failure. However, a limiting factor has been the complications, which are inherent to the procedure, along with the inadequacies of current modalities to establish a prompt diagnosis of acute cellular rejection.

4. Gastrointestinal symptoms in chronic renal failure. Prevalence and pathophysiological mechanisms
Sammanfattning : Chronic renal failure (CRF) has a varying etiology and is characterised by an increasing accumulation of toxic metabolic waste products in the blood. Malnutrition is a common finding in uraemic patients and is regarded as a marker for morbidity and mortality. Many factors, including gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, lead to malnutrition in CRF.

5. Analysis of epithelial electrophysiological function in paediatric intestinal biopsies
Sammanfattning : Intestinal biopsies are routinely taken from children under investigation of failure to thrive, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and/or malnutrition. These biopsies are usually only evaluated morphologically, i.e. no information is collected with regard to mucosal function. LÄS MER
