11. Assessment of Renal Physiology Using Functional MRI
Sammanfattning : Kidney injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, leading to substantial individual suffering and to a heavy financial burden for the society. A large number of common conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune diseases and infections are highly associated with kidney injury. LÄS MER
12. Acute kidney injury, outcome studies
Sammanfattning : Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex syndrome for which no effective treatment exists, and our understanding of this condition is limited. If the acute kidney injury is severe enough to require renal replacement therapy, mortality rates at six months are around 60%. LÄS MER
13. Are gadolinium contrast media really less nephrotoxic than iodine agents in radiographic examinations? A comparison in relation to their ability to attenuate x-rays in a pig model
Sammanfattning : Purpose: To confront the statement that gadolinium contrast media (Gd-CM) are less nephrotoxic than iodine contrast media (I-CM) when used in x-ray angiographic and computed tomographic (CT) examinations. Methods: I) For CT measurements (mean density in Hounsfield numbers) 20-mL syringes filled with I- and Gd-CM at 0.01, 0.02, 0. LÄS MER
14. Oral anticoagulation treatment in atrial fibrillation - To bleed or not to bleed, that is the question
Sammanfattning : Background: Oral antigoagulation treatment (OAT) with warfarin have a narrow therapeutic window and patients exhibit a highly variable doseresponse that is attributable to genetic, disease-related,and environmental factors as well as prescription and nonprescription drugs, dietary vitamin K and alcohol. The effect of warfarin treatement on blood coagulation is measured using international normalized ratio (INR). LÄS MER
15. 3D Rotational Angiography of Transplanted Renal Arteries : A Clinical and Experimental Study
Sammanfattning : Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is an established method within the field of interventional neuroradiology. The method has also a great potential in other areas with a complicated arterial anatomy. LÄS MER
