11. Effect of body posture on regional ventilation and perfusion at normal and increased gravity
Sammanfattning : The prone position is increasingly used to improve arterial oxygenation in intensive care patients with severe acute respiratory failure. This beneficial response is well documented but our understanding of the responsible mechanisms remains incomplete, as does our knowledge of the effect of posture on lung function in healthy individuals.

12. Aspects of lung mechanics during mechanical ventilation
Sammanfattning : Background: One of the most common diagnoses in the intensive care unit is acute respiratory failure. In its most severe form it is called acute respiratory distress syndrome and often requires mechanical ventilation. LÄS MER
13. Congenital muscular torticollis
Sammanfattning : Aim: The purpose of these studies was to undertake a survey of functional and cosmetic status in children treated for congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), to examine validity and reliability of the Muscle Function Scale (MFS), to find reference values for rotation and lateral flexion of the neck and muscle function of the lateral flexors in the neck for the normally developing infant, to investigate if infants with CMT are at higher risk of achieving the early motor milestones later compared to a control group of healthy infants and to investigate if treatment duration is affected when stretching is carried out by an experienced physiotherapist compared to parents. Methods: Range of motion (ROM) in neck rotation was measured with an arthrodial protractor. LÄS MER
14. Sudden infant death syndrome-epidemiology and environmental factors. Prevention is still a challenge
Sammanfattning : Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is still an important cause of death in infancy despite its declining incidence. The overall aim of this thesis was to study environmental factors influencing the risk of SIDS with the goal of still further reducing preventable deaths among infants in the future. LÄS MER
15. Non-invasive techniques for assessment of peripheral blood flow at different vascular depths
Sammanfattning : Missing or reduced blood flow can lead to pressure ulcers. Monitoring blood flow in areas prone to pressure ulcer development would be a valuable tool for prevention of pressure ulcers. PPG and LDF are both established non invasive optical techniques that can be used to estimate the changes in blood flow in different tissue volumes. LÄS MER
