1. 16. Monitoring of coagulation and platelet function in paediatric cardiac surgery

   Författare :Birgitta S Romlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; paediatric cardiac surgery; haemostasis; platelet; coagulation; thromboelastometry; impedance aggregometry; coagulopathy; haemoconcentration;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery has developed dramatically during the last decades. Today, a wide range of patients is operated on-from premature neonates to grown up children with congenital heart disease. Excessive bleeding during and after cardiac surgery is still common, and it is one of the most serious complications. LÄS MER

3. 17. Severe and moderate alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency at the age of 30

   Författare :Elisabeth Bernspång; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cohort; screening; alpha-1-antitrypsin; lung function; CT densitometry; liver;

   Sammanfattning : Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) is a glycoprotein synthesised in the liver. Its main role is to protect lung tissue from destruction by neutrophil elastase. In severe (PiZZ) AAT deficiency, there is an increased risk of emphysema, especially in smokers. LÄS MER

4. 18. High resolution computed tomography in smoking induced disease

   Författare :Jenny Vikgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Smoking induced disease; emphysema; bronchiolitis; HRCT; lung function;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), usually caused by smoking, is common. It has high morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence is expected to increase. In Sweden about 500 000 individuals are affected, and COPD is the third most common cause of death among men. COPD is due to various combinations of small airway disease and emphysema. LÄS MER

5. 19. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aspects of smoking, biomarkers and cardiovascular disease

   Författare :Morten Kraen; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and preventable disease characterized by airflow obstruction and emphysema development. COPD often coexist with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and both diseases have common risk factors i.e. age and smoking and shared features i. LÄS MER

7. 20. Cardiac and pulmonary side-effects of radiotherapy in early breast cancer

   Författare :Ulla Blom Goldman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :breast cancer;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to study early and late side-effects to lung and heart in adjuvant locoregionalradiation therapy (LRRT) of early breast cancer (BC). Papers I-III were intervention studies aiming to reduce symptomatic/ radiological pneumonitis and functional changes after LRRT by applyingthe ipsilateral lung dose volume constraint V20 ≤ 30 %.
