1. 1. Lung function in relation to exercise capacity in health and disease

   Författare :Amir Farkhooy; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Hans Hedenström; Harrpa Arnardottir; Ann Ekberg Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise capacity; Exercise test; Lung function; Spirometri; Diffusion capacity; COPD; Pulmonary hypertension; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Exercise capacity (EC) is widely recognized as a strong and independent predictor of mortality and disease progression in various diseases, including cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Furthermore, it is generally accepted that exercise capacity in healthy individuals and in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is mainly limited by the maximum cardiac output. LÄS MER

3. 2. Cardio-pulmonary function in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : a clinical study of cases from northern Sweden

   Författare :Bert-Ove Olofsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; atrioventricular conduction; ECG; echocardiography; hemodynamics; pulmonary diffusing capacity;

   Sammanfattning : Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) was first reported from Portugal in 1952, but since then this syndrome has been recognized in many countries including Sweden. In this investigation cardiac and pulmonary functions in the Swedish variety of FAP were studied. LÄS MER

4. 3. Real-time breath gas analysis of carbon monoxide : laser-based detection and pulmonary gas exchange modeling

   Författare :Ramin Ghorbani; Florian M. Schmidt; Anders Blomberg; Christoffer Boman; Staffan Schedin; Jonathan Beauchamp; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon monoxide CO ; pulmonary gas exchange; computational modeling; real-time breath gas analysis; single-exhalation profile; laser absorption spectroscopy; nonlinear least-squares fitting; breath sampling; baseline level; diurnal variation; healthy population; exposure study; fysik; Physics; Physiology; fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Breath gas analysis is a promising approach for non-invasive medical diagnostics and physiological monitoring. Real-time, breath-cycle resolved biomarker detection facilitates data interpretation and has the potential to improve the diagnostic value of breath tests as exhalation profiles carry spatiotemporal information about biomarker origin and gas exchange in the respiratory tract.

5. 4. Effects of gravity and posture on the human lung

   Författare :Malin Rohdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Acceleration; cardiac output; cardiogenic oscillations; closing volume; gas exchange; heart I-ate; human centrifuge; hypergravity; lung diffusing capacity; prone posture; pulmonary-capillary blood volume; rebreathing; single-breath washout; supine;

   Sammanfattning : The presence of the gravitational force at the surface of Earth affects all of the organ systems in landliving creatures. The function of the lung is particularly susceptible to changes in the direction and magnitude of gravity because of the elastic structure of this organ. LÄS MER

7. 5. Cardiopulmonary function, quality of life and effects of exercise in children and adolescents with Fontan circulation

   Författare :Eva Rylander Hedlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Survival of children and adolescents with Fontan circulation has increased over the last decades, and today a large majority survive to adult age. There is increasing concern regarding these children’s impaired physical performance and quality of life. LÄS MER
