1. 1. Lung Emphysema & Cardiac Function

   Författare :Kirsten Jörgensen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :emphysema; hemodynamics; ventricular end-diastolic volumes; lung volume reduction; ventricular function; transoesophageal echocardiography; magnetic resonance imaging; diastole; simendan; hypertrophy;

   Sammanfattning : Patients with severe lung emphysema have poor quality of life because of impaired lung function and reduced exercise tolerance. Concomitant heart disease in severe emphysema is well recognised. The prevailing view is that mainly the right side of the heart is involved, while the issue of left ventricular (LV) involvement is less studied. LÄS MER

3. 2. NHBD Lung Transplantation

   Författare :Per Wierup; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Surgery; rat; pig; edema formation; lung preservation; bronchial healing; gas exchange; lung evaluation; Lung transplantation; non-heart-beating donor NHBD ;

   Sammanfattning : The waiting list for lung transplantations world-wide is steadily growing. So, the use of lungs from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) needs to be addressed. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate, in realistic animal models, the new donor organ concept: NHBD transplantation. LÄS MER

4. 3. Lung Cancer : Epidemiological and Clinical Studies with Special Reference to Surgical Treatment

   Författare :Gunnar Myrdal; Elisabeth Ståhle; Mats Lambe; Bengt Bergman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; lung cancer; surgical treatment; early mortality; survival; smoking; quality of life; adenocarcinoma; incidence; Sweden; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Thoracic and Cardivascular Suregery; kirurgi; särskilt thoraxkirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : From being a rare disease in the early 1900s, lung cancer is today the most common forms of cancer worldwide. This development is due to the gradual uptake of cigarette smoking in different populations and birth cohorts during the past 75 years. LÄS MER

5. 4. Inflammation in asthma: relation to symptomatology, exacerbations and lung function

   Författare :Ida Mogensen; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Jansson; Mona Bafadhel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; eosinophil; eosinophil cationic protein; eosinophil derived neurotoxin; periostin; neutrophil; fixed airflow obstruction; lung function; asthma attack; asthma symptom;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma is an inflammatory disease in the airways. It is characterized by respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, variable airflow obstruction and impaired lung function development. A better understanding of the underlying inflammation is crucial in order to treat and prevent asthma symptoms and lung function deterioration. LÄS MER

7. 5. Inflammatory Markers, Respiratory Diseases, Lung Function and Associated Gender Differences

   Författare :Inga Sif Ólafsdóttir; Christer Janson; Anders Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; C-reactive protein; matrix metalloproteinase-9; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1; COPD; FEV1; FVC; lung function; systemic inflammation; gender differences; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Systemic inflammation is associated with impaired lung function. Inflammation is part of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the local and systemic inflammatory pattern differs. LÄS MER
