  3. 2. The role of the endothelin system in experimental acute lung injury : with special reference to the formation of extra-vascular lung water

    Författare :Patrik Rossi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute lung injury; endothelin-1; extra-vascular lung water; pulmonary capillary pressure; sepsis; pulmonary edema; endotoxin;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lung injury is a major clinical challenge in the intensive care unit. Sepsis is the most frequent underlying cause of this pulmonary syndrome, which contains inflammation-induced diffuse alveolar damage and early stage high permeability edema. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Exhaled nitric oxide in extreme environments

    Författare :Tryggve Hemmingsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exhaled nitric oxide; hand-held instrument; electrochemical detector; microgravity; International Space Station; high altitude; hypobaric hypoxia; normobaric hypoxia; backdiffusion;

    Sammanfattning : Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a useful marker for lower airway inflammation. Since NO was found to be a component of an exhaled breath in the early 1990´s, the Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO 50) measurement is now well accepted among clinicians as a complementary test in the management of asthma.

  7. 5. Vascular effects of endothelin in experimental lung injury

    Författare :Björn P Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :acute lung injury;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lung injury remains a frequent and life threatening consequence of severe sepsis. This thesis has investigated the role of the endothelin (ET) system in sepsis-induced lung injury, with special reference to its effects on two hallmarks of this syndrome - formation of edema and pulmonary hypertension.
