  1. 26. Lung function in micro- and in hypergravity

    Författare :Stéphanie Montmerle; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Lung physiology; human; spirometry; rebreathing; cardiogenic oscillations; phase IV; anti-G suit; stroke volume; weightlessness; closing volume; DLCO;

    Sammanfattning : The lung is extremely susceptible to gravity, even during short-term changes of the gravity vector, because it is a mixture of air and elastic tissue components. Yet, there is limited knowledge of the effects of gravity on the respiratory system. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Airway inflammation in "healthy" smokers. Relation to lung function and high resolution CT findings

    Författare :Ann Ekberg-Jansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; smoking; bronchoalveolar lavage; bronchial biopsies; cytokines; lymphocytes; computed tomography; lung function; respiratory symptoms;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present study was to characterize the inflammatory pattern in "healthy"smokers and relate it to lung function, high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings and respiratory symptoms in order to identify smokers at risk to develop COPD. Subjects were recruited from a population study "Men born 1933 in Göteborg". LÄS MER

  4. 28. Lung function in smokers - Aspects on COPD diagnosis and associations to atherosclerosis and alcohol consumption

    Författare :Sophia Frantz; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lung function; smoking; COPD; IOS; atherosclerosis; alcohol consumption;

    Sammanfattning : Smoking is the most common and important risk factor for reduced lung function. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects mainly smokers and is characterized by airflow obstruction, assessed using one of two major diagnostic spirometric criteria. LÄS MER

  5. 29. 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

  7. 30. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in population-based studies : Epidemiological perspectives

    Författare :Linda Johnson; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Atrial fibrillation; Fasting plasma insulin; forced expiratory volume; glucose; hypertension; lung volumes; population; premature atrial contractions; risk factors; spirometry; supraventricular extrasystoles; supraventricular tachycardias systolic blood pressure; weight;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among the elderly, and has serious consequences such as stroke and increased mortality. Not all of the population attributable risk for AF is explained by known risk factors. LÄS MER
