  1. 11. Experimental Chagas disease

    Författare :John Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Trypanosoma cruzi; NK cells; cytotoxicity; IFN-gamma; IL-12; IFN-alpha beta; Chagas disease; polymyositis; myocarditis; genotype dependence and Toll-like receptors.;

    Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis was to develop and utilise experimental models using the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. We were especially interested in studying the activation of NK cells early after T. cruzi infection and what factors that predispose to a chronic inflammatory disease after T. cruzi infection.

  3. 12. Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure through Partial Volume Exclusion : An Experimental Study

    Författare :Per Vikholm; Laila Hellgren; Lund Lars; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Right Heart Failure; Left Ventricular Assist Device; Glenn shunt; Thorax Surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a potential treatment in terminal heart failure. Right ventricular (RV) failure is a severe complication in these patients and sometimes requires additional placement of a right ventricular assist device (RVAD). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Experimental Vitreous Substitution

    Författare :Henrik Barth; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinal Detachment; Vitreous Body : surgery; Retina cytology metabolism surgery; Retina: Function; Retina: Inflammation; Retinal Detachment; Vitreous Body : surgery; Vitreous substitute; Vitrectomy;

    Sammanfattning : Blindness and visual disability are common following vitreoretinal pathologies such as open globe injury, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). These conditions often necessitate surgical intervention using vitrectomy with a tamponading vitreous substitute. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Nitric oxide and extravasation in endotoxaemia : an experimental study

    Författare :Kerstin Metcalf; Mikael Bodelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite advances in intensive care the mortality of patients in septic shock is still high. In early stages the condition is characterised by circulatory failure that is a consequence of myocardial depression, vasodilatation with decreased sensitivity to catecholamine stimulation and increased loss of protein and fluid from the circulation.

  7. 15. Atelectasis and gas exchange impairment after cardiopulmonary bypass : An experimental study

    Författare :Lennart Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Lung: cardiopulmonary bypass; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Despite of the improvement in management and equipment for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), postoperative pulmonary complications remain a major problem after cardiac surgery. In the present thesis, using a pig model, atelectasis has been tested as a cause of the increase in intrapulmonary shunt commonly seen after CPB. LÄS MER
