   Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground: Assessing critically ill patients is demanding because their clinical signs are not always easy to interpret. This is particularly true for pediatric patients, due to their small size and robust circulatory compensatorymechanism. LÄS MER

3. 12. Neonatal water and heat exchange : The influence of environmental factors and infant maturity

   Författare :Gunnar Sjörs; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Neonatal; transepidermal water loss; respiratory water loss; radiant heat; heat exchange; water loss; incubators; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

   Sammanfattning : The environment provided by commonly used infant incubators, the effect of radiantheat and exposure to cold air on the exchange of water and heat between newborninfants and their environment, and the water loss through the skin of infants born at24-25 weeks of gestation were investigated. The evaporation of water from the skinwas measured by the gradient method. LÄS MER

5. 14. The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man

   Författare :Anders H. Forslund; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Body composition; carbohydrate; energy turnover; fat; protein; stable isotopes; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Nutrition; näringslära;

   Sammanfattning : The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately.

7. 15. Metabolic Effects of Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy in Adults - with Special Reference to Insulin Sensitivity

   Författare :Mikael Segerlantz; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetology; secreting systems; Endocrinology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi; cortisol replacement; lipid oxidation; glucose metabolism; glucose uptake; insulin resitance; GH; insulin sensitivity; GH deficiency;

   Sammanfattning : A risk for premature atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in adult patients suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and receiving conventional hormone substitution without growth hormone (GH) replacement. GHD patients are resistant to insulin, which is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. LÄS MER
