1. 21. Oxidative stress in experimental traumatic brain injury

   Författare :Mattias Günther; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among the young population in the industrialized world. The injury consists of immediate damage to the brain tissue, followed by a secondary response involving inflammation and oxidative stress. LÄS MER

3. 22. Fatal car crash configurations and injury panorama : with special emphasis on the function of restraint system

   Författare :Mats Lindquist; Ulf Björnstig; Anders Kullgren; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Surgery; Deep studies; fatal crashes; small overlap; human FE-modeling; body kinematics; real life safety; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Most traffic safety research projects require accurate real world data which is collected in different databases around the world. This is especially important since the results of these projects form the basis for new crash test procedures and standards. LÄS MER

4. 23. Intracranial Compliance and Secondary Brain Damage. Experimental and Clinical Studies in Traumatic Head Injury

   Författare :Konstantin Salci; Per Enblad; Pelle Nilsson; Peter Hutchinsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Intracranial compliance; Secondary insults; Microdialysis; Neurointensive care; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) renders the brain more vulnerable to secondary insults. The increased vulnerability can probably be explained by a combination of disturbances in hemodynamics, metabolism and craniospinal dynamics. Reduced ability to compensate for added intracranial volume, i.e. LÄS MER

5. 24. Surgical Management of Rib Fractures Following Trauma

   Författare :Eva Corina Caragounis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanism of Injury; Rib Fracture; Flail chest; Surgery; Mechanical Ventilator; Lung Function; Pain; Quality of Life;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Surgical management of chest wall injuries has received increasing attention in recent years. The aim of this thesis was to study the mechanism of injury (MOI) in relation to chest wall injury patterns and short- and long-term outcome of surgery in patients with multiple rib fractures and unstable thoracic cage injuries.

7. 25. Cerebral Hemodynamics through Intracrnial Pressure

   Författare :Sima Shahsavari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intracranial dynamics; Baroreceptor reflex; Secondary brain injury; Traumatic brain injury; Collapsible tubes; Intracranial pressure; Cushing reflex; Pulse wave propagation; Cerebral autoregulation; Cerebral compliance; Mathematical modelling;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) continues to be a major problem worldwide. Today, intensive care of patients with TBI is mainly focused on preventing and treating secondary brain injuries. High pressure inside the intracranial cavity has been found to be an important feature of disturbed cerebral dynamics and secondary injuries. LÄS MER
