1. Phase development, heat of hydration and expansion in a blended cement with b-hemihydrate and anhydrite as calcium sulfate
Sammanfattning : Expansive cements are utilised in special applications to improve properties such as cracking caused by drying shrinkage. Several types of expansive cements exist and the main hydration product responsible for the expansion is ettringite, [Ca3Al(OH)6]2(SO4)3·26H 2O. LÄS MER
2. Novel functions of cardiovascular P2 receptors
Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to examine the expression and function of the extracellular nucleotide P2 receptors in the cardiovascular system. In the cardiovascular system nucleotides are released during shear stress, hypoxia, ischemia, from endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, aggregating platelets, inflammatory cells and erythrocytes.

3. Cerebral intraventricular hemorrhage and post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation in preterm infants: new mechanistic insights and potential treatment strategies
Sammanfattning : Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the major co-morbidities of premature birth associated with post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) development, long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, behavioral problems, special educational needs, and dependency on social security.Hypothesis and aims: We believe that extravasated blood and further release of extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) are crucial in brain injury following IVH and consequent development of PHVD.

4. Subglottic stenosis : Diagnostics, endoscopic treatment and follow-up
Sammanfattning : Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a rare condition of upper airway obstruction transforming tracheal mucosa below the vocal folds into scar tissue. It is primarily caused by laryngotracheal trauma and infrequent autoimmune conditions ofsystemic inflammation. LÄS MER
5. Radiological evaluation of esophageal function in dysphagia with special emphasis on achalasia
Sammanfattning : In idiopathic achalasia, degeneration of the inhibitory innervation of the esophageal smooth muscle results in absence of primary peristalsis and in incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). All treatments for achalasia aim at reducing the pressure gradient across the LES, thus facilitating esophageal emptying by gravity. LÄS MER
