  1. 16. Preparedness for mass-casualty attacks on public transportation

    Författare :Annelie Holgersson; Ulf Björnstig; Britt-Inger Saveman; Dzenan Sahovic; Per Örtenwall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antagonism; disaster medicine; emergency response; emergency organizations; mass transit; preparedness; rescue work; security; terrorism; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Public transportation constitutes a vulnerable sector in modern day society with a high probability of generating mass casualties if attacked. By preparing for mass-casualty attacks (MCAs), response can become more effective and public transportation can become a less rewarding target. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Autologous full-thickness skin graft as reinforcement material in the repair of complex hernias

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Full-thickness skin graft; Incisional hernia; Parastomal hernia; tensile strength; RCT; abdominal wall strength; quality-of-life; IPOM; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Abdominal wall hernia is a common issue in the realm of surgery. Many patients suffering from a hernia require surgical intervention, and over 8000 abdominal hernia repairs are performed each year in Sweden. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Permanent stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer : prevalence and mechanisms

    Författare :Klas Holmgren; Martin Rutegård; Jörgen Rutegård; Markku M. Haapamäki; Peter Matthiessen; Malin Sund; Per J. Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rectal cancer; anterior resection; permanent stoma; defunctioning stoma; mesorectal excision; biomarkers; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : While sphincter-saving surgery constitutes standard treatment for rectal cancer, anterior resection still harbours a significant risk of a permanent stoma in the long run. Although anastomotic leakage plays a major role in this surgical dilemma, the exact mechanisms are not known, while surveys indicate a stoma-free outcome is essential for a majority of patients.

  5. 19. Vascular remodelling and circulating basement membrane fragments in abdominal aortic aneurysm

    Författare :Mari Holsti; Malin Sund; Anders Wanhainen; Joakim Nordanstig; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AAA; extracellular matrix; vascular remodelling; collagen; inflammation; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease, characterized by advanced inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling. Enhanced protease activity mediated by cytokines results in the degradation of ECM proteins, leading to the generation of different bioactive fragments. LÄS MER

  7. 20. On effectiveness in colorectal surgery : mechanical bowel preparation or not in elective colonic surgery and treatment options for elderly patients with rectal cancer

    Författare :Bärbel Jung; Erik Nilsson; Svante Nordgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal surgery; bowel preparation; postoperative outcome; quality of life; cancer survival; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The management of patients undergoing colorectal surgery has changed in recent decades. Efforts have been made to show that perioperative physiological stress to the patient can be minimised with standardised care programmes and thus improve short term outcome after colorectal surgery.
