21. Heart and lung function - in health and disease : methodological studies in clinical physiology
Sammanfattning : The human heart and lungs constitute an intricate and dynamic system. Various clinical physiological examinations can be used to evaluate cardio-pulmonary function and identify abnormalities. Thus, it is important to understand how normal physiology presents, to be able to identify pathological findings. LÄS MER
22. Novel Analysis Toolkit for Capillaroscopic Images: Development and Clinical Evaluation
Sammanfattning : Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is an invasive imaging technique that is used to assess the blood capillary network in the nailfold area. NC is routinely used for patients with microcirculation problems, such as systemic sclerosis and other connective tissue diseases. NC is repeatable and appears to be simple and harmless. LÄS MER
23. Splanchnic organ homeostasis in experimental endotoxin shock : with special reference to the endothelin and renin-angiotensin systems
Sammanfattning : Splanchnic organ homeostasis may become severely deteriorated in states of sepsis and endotoxaemia. Gut tissue hypoxia with subsequent increases in intestinal mucosal permeability has been proposed to contribute to the development of multiple organ failure. LÄS MER
24. Studies on pathogenesis, clinical features and comorbidities of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a group of rare chronic inflammatory disorders, are characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations with high morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of IIM is largely unknown but accumulating evidence suggests that autoantibodies promote the initiation and perpetuation of the disease. LÄS MER
25. Left atrial function in health and disease
Sammanfattning : The Objectives of this thesis are:1) To study possible atrial interaction in patients with right and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to significant pulmonary (PS) and aortic valve stenosis (AS), respectively.2) To assess left atrial (LA) intrinsic myocardial function and its relationship to indirect measures of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
