1. Mortality in Oxygen-Dependent Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Possibilities for Pharmacological Interventions
Sammanfattning : Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major and rising cause of mortality worldwide, especially in women. Patients with chronic hypoxia owing to COPD are treated with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) but have high morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
2. Optimising pulmonary gas exchange in anaesthetised horses : unravelling the role of pulsed inhaled nitric oxide using computed tomography angiography of the lung
Sammanfattning : Mortality rates in healthy, anaesthetised horses are higher than in most other species. Hypotension, hypoxaemia and hypoventilation are implicated as risk factors, which develop due to the combined effects of general anaesthesia and recumbency. Hypoxaemia is largely a consequence of ventilation perfusion (V̇ /Q̇ ) mismatch. LÄS MER
3. Skeletal muscle metabolism in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : A study of carbohydrate and fat metabolism
Sammanfattning : In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deterioration of skeletal muscle metabolism is reported in both respiratory and non-respiratory muscles. This deterioration may contribute to both the development of respiratory failure and general disability often seen in severe COPD patients. LÄS MER
