1. Lung function and prevalence trends in asthma and COPD
Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common obstructive airway diseases with a substantial burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and costs. Smoking is the single most important risk factor for COPD, and is associated with incident asthma. LÄS MER
2. Open lung concept in high risk anaesthesia : Optimizing mechanical ventilation in morbidly obese patients and during one lung ventilation with capnothorax
Sammanfattning : Formation of atelectasis, defined as reversible collapse of aerated lung, often occurs after induction of anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation. As a consequence, there is a risk for hypoxemia, altered hemodynamics and impaired respiratory system mechanics. LÄS MER
3. 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
4. Early life exposures and lung function development
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Lung development is a dynamic process, vulnerable to adverse environmental exposures. Starting in utero, development continues postnatally, and although lung structure is mainly set at around two years of age, the maturation process continues into young adulthood. LÄS MER
5. Lung function in relation to exercise capacity in health and disease
Sammanfattning : Background: Exercise capacity (EC) is widely recognized as a strong and independent predictor of mortality and disease progression in various diseases, including cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Furthermore, it is generally accepted that exercise capacity in healthy individuals and in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is mainly limited by the maximum cardiac output. LÄS MER
