11. Hyaluronan in sepsis : A clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : Sepsis and septic shock are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Mortality rates in septic shock are estimated to be 40-50%, in spite of modem intensive care. Death is commonly caused by cardiovascular collapse and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

12. Iatrogenic Vascular Injuries
Sammanfattning : Iatrogenic vascular injuries (IVIs) and injuries associated with vascular surgery can cause severe morbidity and death. The aims of this thesis were to study those injuries in the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc), the Swedish medical injury insurance where insurance claims are registered, the Population and Cause of death registries, and in patient records, in order to explore preventive strategies.

13. Surveillance of Antibiotic Consumption and Antibiotic Resistance in Swedish Intensive Care Units
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Nosocomial infections remain a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The problem is most apparent in intensive care units (ICUs). Most ICU patients are compromised and vulnerable as a result of disease or severe trauma. One in ten people admitted to hospital is given an antibiotic for infection. LÄS MER
14. Healthcare associated infections in vascular surgery
Sammanfattning : Health care associated infections (HCAI) affect roughly four million people in Europe annually, resulting in 16 million extra days of hospital stay, 37 000 attributable deaths and direct costs of approximately € 7 billion. HCAI in vascular surgery are relatively common complications with potentially devastating consequences. LÄS MER
15. Antibacterial materials for wound care applications utilizing antimicrobial peptides
Sammanfattning : The spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria has shown that the development of alternative treatments of infections is of vital importance. This thesis has looked at one potential candidate, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as an alternative or compliment to traditional antibiotics. LÄS MER
