  3. 2. Pharmacological therapy in obstructive sleep apnea - Methodology and interventional aspects of carbonic anhydrase modulation

    Författare :Erik Hoff; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obstructive sleep apnea; carbonic anhydrase; endotype; drug therapy; hypoxia; hypoxia-inducible factor 1α; placebo;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease with potential severe short- and long-term consequences such as daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. Recurrent total or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep leads to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Causes and treatment of chronic respiratory failure : experience of a national register

    Författare :Torbjörn Gustafson; Kerstin Ström; Karl Franklin; Kjell Torén; Kurt Boman; Leif Bjermer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; pulmonary fibrosis; kyphoscoliosis; respiratory failure; sex; smoking; occupation; survival; long-term oxygen therapy; mechanical ventilation; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) or home mechanical ventilation (HMV) can improve survival time in chronic respiratory failure. A national quality register could be an aid to identifying risk markers and optimizing therapy for respiratory failure. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Drug therapy - a challenge in primary care

    Författare :Veronica Milos; Allmänmedicin och samhällsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drug therapy; elderly; guidelines; primary care; potentially inappropriate medications; fall risk increasing drugs; antibiotics; upper respiratory tract infections; attitudes; adherence; general practitioners; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Drug therapy in primary care is a broad field, with two areas previously identified as particularly challenging: treatment of the elderly and prescription of antibiotics against uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). General practitioners’ (GPs’) attitudes and adherence to evidence-based treatment guidelines might be influenced by different interventions and need to be studied. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Prognosis, Prediction and Risk Assessment in the Prevention and Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Författare :Martin Sandelin; Christer Janson; Henrik Riska; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemoradiation therapy; induction chemotherapy; thrombocytosis; anaemia; leucocytosis; EGFR; guidelines; molecular pathology; ACOS; COPD; risk assessment; comorbidities; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Lung cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer. Smoking causes roughly 90% of lung cancer cases. Concurrent chemoradiation therapy is the standard of care for stage IIIb patients with performance status (PS) 0-1. A less toxic approach is warranted for less fit patients. LÄS MER
