1. Infections Related to the Use of Medical Devices and Changes in the Oropharyngeal Flora
Sammanfattning : Background: Humans exist in mutualistic balance with a large range of microbiota. Illness and hospitalization can disturb this balance and contribute to hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which occur most often in critically ill patients. LÄS MER
2. Using Probiotics in Intensive Care with Special Reference to Lactobacillus plantarum 299 and 299v
Sammanfattning : Probiotics are Live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host. The composition of the microflora in the gastrointestinal tract is rather constant in healthy subjects, but is easily disturbed by severe illness and the use of antibiotics. LÄS MER
3. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival
Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. LÄS MER
4. Quantitative sensory testing, obstructive sleep apnea and peripheral nervous lesions
Sammanfattning : In diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, quantitative sensory testing (QST) is used to assess thermal and vibration sensitivity. QST is a psychophysical method susceptible to the influence of several factors. It is important to standardize the test. Vibrations may cause peripheral nerve lesions. LÄS MER
5. Determination of cyanide and thiocyanate in humans
Sammanfattning : Cyanide exposure from several sources may cause chronic diseases or acute lethal intoxication in humans. Accurate and specific methods for determination of cyanide and its metabolite thiocyanate are therefore needed for clinical and epidemiological purposes. LÄS MER
