  1. 31. Nitric oxide in experimental sepsis

    Författare :Peter Dahm; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Nitric oxide; Sepsis; NO inhalation; Endotoxin; Acute lung injury; ARDS; Nitric oxide synthase; L-NMMA; L-NAME; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Pigs; intensivvård;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is important in the control of blood pressure and organ perfusion. In septic shock, NO produced by inducible NO-synthase (NOS) has been claimed to mediate pathological vasodilation and cell injury, while NO produced by constitutive NOS may be protective in counteracting hypoperfusion and organ injury.

  3. 32. The role of nitric oxide in porcine models of asthma and acute lung injury

    Författare :Roelinde Middelveld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is a modulator of many important physiological processes in the body. It is produced endogenously in several cell types by a family of NO synthases (NOS). LÄS MER

  4. 33. Improving treatment outcomes for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Tanzania : host and pathogen factors

    Författare :Tumaini Joseph Nagu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis (TB) causes more than 1.2 million deaths each year globally. Yet, survivors of tuberculosis are left with long term sequelae of chronic inflammatory responses with consequent reduced quality of life. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Acute lung injury : incidence and predictors of outcome with special reference to inhaled nitric oxide

    Författare :Owe Luhr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Respiratory distress syndrome; Adult; -drug-therapy; -mortality; Treatment; -outcome; Nitric oxide; therapeutic-use; administration-and-dosage; -adverse effects; Mutagenicity; tests; Chromosome aberrations; Risk factors; Logistic models; Prospective studies.;

    Sammanfattning : This work started out as a critical examination of the initial clinical experiences with inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) to patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Scandinavia 1991-1994. During this examination, we found that epidemiological data and prognostic factors were lacking in Scandinavia for these patient groups, making it difficult to evaluate new therapies. LÄS MER

  7. 35. Transpulmonary pressure during mechanical ventilation

    Författare :Christina Grivans; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical ventilation; Acute lung injury; Acute respiratory distress syndrome; Lung volume measurements; Electric Impedance diagnostic use; Lung elastance; Transpulmonary pressure; Esophageal pressure;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Mechanical ventilation can aggravate lung injury by repetitive opening and closing of lung units, overdistention and undue pressure on pulmonary structures. Guidelines exist for lung protective ventilation, but individualized ventilator settings, based on partitioning of respiratory mechanics in pulmonary and chest wall complex components, would be beneficial.
