  1. 1. Synchronized delivery of inspired nitric oxide : Effects on oxygenation and pulmonary tension during artificial ventilation

    Författare :Erkki Heinonen; Tim Higenbottam; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; nitric oxide; pulsed administration; pulmonary hypertension; oxygenation; equine; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is a mediator of vascular smooth muscle tension that metabolises rapidly in blood. NO delivered by inhalation can therefore be used as a selective pulmonary vasodilator to relieve pulmonary hypertension or to improve oxygenation with no systemic effects. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nasopharynx and mucosa associated lymphatic tissue : studies on mucosal immunity, nasopharyngeal colonization with non-encapsulated non-typable Haemophilus influenzae and local administration of immunoglobulin in the upper respiratory tract

    Författare :Karin Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nasopharyngeal colonization with non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) frequently occurs in infants and in adults with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), but is rarely found among healthy adults. In children with recurrent episodes of acute otitis media (RAOM), NTHI is more common than in healthy individuals. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination against human papillomavirus

    Författare :Merja Nurkkala Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :human papillomavirus; therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination; cholera toxin; T cells; TLRs and CpG;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer, which is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, leading to 230000 deaths annually. The two currently available HPV vaccines can only be used prophylactically, so they are of no use to the 291 million women who are already infected and at risk of developing cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Noninvasive Evaluation of Myocardial Ischemia and Left Ventricular Function

    Författare :Eva Maret; Jan Ohlsson; Eva Nylander; Anders Waldenström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was, following the path of the ischemic cascade, to evaluate the feasibility of some new non-invasive techniques for the detection of myocardial ischemia, the extent of infarcted myocardium, and for the quantification of systolic left ventricular function.Reduced longitudinal myocardial velocity and displacement may be early signs of ischemia.

  7. 5. Experimental brain tumors, dendritic cells and immunotherapy

    Författare :Shorena Janelidze; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dendritic cell; interferon-γ; immunotherapy; Brain tumor;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant astrocytomas are the most common primary tumors of the adult central nervous system. Surgical resection of tumor mass in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is only palliative and there is a clear need for new and more effective therapeutic strategies. LÄS MER
