1. Point of care microfluidic tool development for resource limited settings
Sammanfattning : The development of point of care diagnostics using recent advances in microfluidics have the potential to transform health care in several ways, especially in resource limited settings with limited access to advanced health care infrastructure. However, translating a point of care device to reality is often a challenging task because of the complexities involved in integrating a number of diverse engineering concepts into an easy to use, accurate and portable device.

2. Sulfur amino acids and their metabolites in patients with renal failure : relation to nutritional status and cardiovascular disease
Sammanfattning : Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) have a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), malnutrition and diabetes mellitus (DM) and exhibit several abnormalities in amino acid metabolism. The aims of this thesis were to assess alterations in sulfur amino acids and related sulfur compounds in relation to nutritional status, CVD and DM in CRF patients. LÄS MER
3. Effects of Hemoglobin Normalization with Epoetin in Chronic Kidney Disease
Sammanfattning : Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CDK), contributes to reduced Quality of Life (QoL) and is associated with cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. Epoetin raises hemoglobin (Hb) and increases QoL and physical exercise capacity. LÄS MER
4. Clinical Bedside Studies of Cerebral Blood Flow in Severe Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Using Xenon CT
Sammanfattning : Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is frequently complicated by delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), contributing to poor outcome. Particularly for patients in poor neurological state, prediction of the acute clinical course is difficult, as is the early detection of DCI. LÄS MER
5. Regulation of Microvascular Blood Flow : a clinical and experimental study based on laser Doppler perfusion imaging
Sammanfattning : Local blood flow reflexes in the foot skin of healthy controls and in young diabetic patients with or without nerve dysfunction have been studied using laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI). A neurophysiological follow-up study on nerve dysfunction is presented as a complerhent to the work on blood flow regulation in the young diabetics. LÄS MER
