1. 26. A Study on Endoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy and Elevated Intraperitoneal Pressure

   Författare :Pernilla Lindström; Bengt Rippe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Candesartan; cardiac output; glomerular filtration rate; hand-assisted laparoscopy; hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopy; kidney; living donor nephrectomy; morbidity; pneumoperitoneum; rat; renal transplantation; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Live donor nephrectomy (LDN) is a unique surgical challenge where surgery is performed on healthy individuals. It is of great importance to keep the morbidity of donors as low as possible, as well as harvesting a kidney in optimal condition. Lowering morbidity is the motive for introducing the endoscopic technique in LDN. LÄS MER

3. 27. Refractory angina pectoris. Patient characteristics, safety and long-term effects of spinal cord stimulation

   Författare :Paulin Andréll; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Angina pectoris; Deep white matter disease; Epidemiology; Health care costs; Morbidity; Mortality; Quality of life; Spinal cord stimulation;

   Sammanfattning : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as severe angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by conventional pharmacological or surgical therapy. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown. During the last decades, additional treatment options have been developed for this condition. LÄS MER

4. 28. Diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndromes. Prognosis and risk factors

   Författare :Ann-Marie Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :diabetes; prognosis; hyperglycaemia; hypoglycaemia; risk-factors; morbidity; mortality; unstable coronary syndrome; unstable angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: the aims of the thesis were: - To investigate the prognostic influence of diabetes on short- and long-term mortality after an episode of unstable coronary disease - To evaluate the association between glycometabolic parameters on admission and during hospitalization and the 2 year mortality risk among diabetic patients with unstable coronary disease - To investigate the influence of diabetes on treatment and outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) - To determine long-term morbidity and mortality after hospitalization for unstable coronary disease in patients with and without diabetes Diabetes was associated with higher mortality: We investigated an unselected series of 4,341 patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, of which 722 (17%) had diabetes. Diabetes was associated with increased mortality during initial hospitalization (10. LÄS MER

5. 29. 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure - Relation to the Insulin Resistance Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease

   Författare :Kristina Björklund; Jan Östergren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; hypertension; ambulatory blood pressure; insulin; fatty acids; prognosis; morbidity; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

   Sammanfattning : This study examined relationships between 24-hour ambulatory BP and components of the insulin resistance syndrome, and investigated the prognostic significance of 24-hour BP for cardiovascular morbidity in a longitudinal population-based study of 70-year-old men. The findings indicated, that a reduced nocturnal BP fall, nondipping, was a marker of increased risk primarily in subjects with diabetes. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :renal stone; ureteric stone; ESWL; ureteroscopy; morbidity; questionnaire; computed tomography; urography;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: Papers I&II: To compare treatment outcome for renal stones treated with different ESWL-machines and treatment results of ESWL and ureteroscopy (URS) for ureteric stones. Paper III: To investigate the morbidity and incidence of acute renal colic and the proportion of patients with absolute and relative indications for immediate radiological examination. LÄS MER
