  1. 56. An epidemiological study of non-fatal injuries in a Swedish county

    Författare :Elsvig Eilert-Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :accident; injury; bicycle; pedestrian; school injury; epidemiology; ;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis is to describe the epidemiological injury pattern (including both oral and bodily injuries) in a defined Swedish population. Analysis is performed in three steps: a general overview; a focus on oral and bodily injuries, Paper I, and on the most exposed age groups for tooth injuries (children and adolescents), Paper II; and exemplifying situational analyses of bicycle (Paper III) and pedestrian injuries (Paper IV), and school injuries Paper V.

  3. 57. The importance of nitric oxide availability in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury : regulatory roles of arginase, L-arginine and tetrahydrobiopterin

    Författare :Yahor Tratsiakovich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Maintenance of nitric oxide (NO) availability is crucial for cardiovascular homeostasis and protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. LÄS MER

  4. 58. Aspects of hepatoduodenal trauma and fluid therapy in hemorrhagic shock

    Författare :Peep Talving; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Liver injury; epidemiology; population-based study; duodenum injury; gunshot injury; surgery; trauma; emergency care; bleeding; hypotension; hemorrhagic shock; fluid resuscitation; prehospital fluid therapy; morbidity; mortality;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death among young adults and children, accounting for 5 million deaths worldwide on an annual basis. In Sweden alone, 2500 individuals succumb to traumatic injuries yearly. Beyond the burden of death, injuries contribute to a large proportion of disability. LÄS MER

  5. 59. Nitric oxide in brain contusion

    Författare :Caroline Gahm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Apoptosis; Colchicine; Dexamethasone; eNOS; human; immunohistochemistry; iNOS; L-NAME; L-NIL; neuronal degeneration; Nimodipine; nitric oxide; NO; nNOS; rat; SPBN; Tirilazad Mesylate; traumatic brain injury;

    Sammanfattning : Trauma to the brain is a leading cause of death and disability. The primary injury initiates a cascade of biochemical reactions in the brain that causes further neuronal damage, a process referred to as secondary brain injury. LÄS MER

  7. 60. Studies of myocardial ischaemia followed by reperfusion : new experimental models and their application

    Författare :Yozo Uriuda; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :myocardial infarction; myocardial ischaemia; reperfusion injury; animal experiment; rat; pig; dog; coronary venous retroinfusion; synchronised coronary venous retroperfusion; thrombosis; thrombolysis; inogatran; endothelin;

    Sammanfattning : Despite great efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality in ischaemic heart disease, this is still the most common cause of death in the industrialised countries. To improve the management of such patients, further knowledge is needed of the pathophysiology of ischaemic heart disease. LÄS MER
