1. 16. Early ventilatory management and lung function in the immature newly born. Experimental studies in lambs

   Författare :Jonas Ingimarsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård; Anaesthesiology; newborn.; animals; lung recruitment; resuscitation; respiratory distress syndrome; pulmonary surfactants;

   Sammanfattning : Using an animal model, the thesis explores how the initial ventilation of the lungs, and surfactant therapy, should best be managed after premature birth. Material and measurements: The studies were made in newborn lambs delivered by cesarean section. LÄS MER

3. 17. Synthetic pulmonary surfactant : effects of surfactant proteins B and C and their analogues

   Författare :Andreas Almlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid/protein mixture lining the air-liquid interface in the alveoli. Its main function is to lower surface tension during respiration and thereby prevent alveolar collapse at end-expiration. Surfactant deficiency, especially common in prematurely born babies, is the main cause of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). LÄS MER

4. 18. Aspects of lung mechanics during mechanical ventilation

   Författare :Magni Gudmundsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute respiratory failure; Acute respiratory distress syndrome; Mechanical ventilation; Transpulmonary pressure; Expiratory time constant; Esophageal pressure;

   Sammanfattning : Background: One of the most common diagnoses in the intensive care unit is acute respiratory failure. In its most severe form it is called acute respiratory distress syndrome and often requires mechanical ventilation. LÄS MER

5. 19. Direct and phagocyte-mediated lipid peroxidation of lung surfactant by group B streptococci and other bacteria : protective effect of antioxidants

   Författare :Rabea K L Bouhafs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Lung surfactant; lipid peroxidation; phagocytes; group B streptococci; lung infection; superoxide; nitric oxide; reactive oxygen species and antioxidants.;

   Sammanfattning : Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), caused by surfactant deficiency, is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates. Further, infants with systemic neonatal infection or pneumonia often have signs of RDS. LÄS MER

7. 20. C/EBP transcription factors in lung cellular differentiation and development

   Författare :Tove Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :C EBP transcription factors; lung; development; differentiation; glucocorticoid regulation;

   Sammanfattning : During embryonic development the lung is lined with a primitive epithelium. As development proceeds, the epithelium matures and differentiates into several cell types that together with cells of mesenchymal origin constitute the adult lung. LÄS MER
