1. 1. Point of care microfluidic tool development for resource limited settings

   Författare :Indradumna Banerjee; Aman Russom; Luca Brandt; Gustaf Mårtensson; Jens Ducrée; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Blood; control; cell separation; centrifugal microfluidics; diagnostics; elasto-inertial; hematocrit level; microfluidics; neonatal diagnostics; nucleic acid quantification; point of care; particle focusing; resource limited settings.; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   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.

3. 2. Sulfur amino acids and their metabolites in patients with renal failure : relation to nutritional status and cardiovascular disease

   Författare :Mohamed Elsaeid M Suliman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Cardiovascular disease; chronic renal failure; cysteine; diabetes mellitus; glutathione; homocysteine; malnutrition; serum albumin; sulfur amino acids; taurine;

   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

4. 3. Effects of Hemoglobin Normalization with Epoetin in Chronic Kidney Disease

   Författare :Hans Furuland; Björn Wikström; Torbjörn Linde; Peter Barany; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; Anemia; blood viscosity; cardiac output; chronic kidney disease; renal dialysis; dialysis adequacy; erythopoietin; heart rate variability; hemoglobin; hemorheology; hypertension; kidney transplantation; Kt V; left ventricular hypertrophy; Quality of Life; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

   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

5. 4. Clinical Bedside Studies of Cerebral Blood Flow in Severe Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Using Xenon CT

   Författare :Henrik Engquist; Per Enblad; Elham Rostami; Anders Lewén; Marianne Juhler; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Subarachnoid hemorrhage; delayed cerebral ischemia; cerebral blood flow; HHH-therapy; triple-H; xenon CT; XeCT; cerebral microdialysis; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

   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

7. 5. Regulation of Microvascular Blood Flow : a clinical and experimental study based on laser Doppler perfusion imaging

   Författare :Helena Golster; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   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
