21. Hyaluronan in sepsis : A clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : Sepsis and septic shock are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Mortality rates in septic shock are estimated to be 40-50%, in spite of modem intensive care. Death is commonly caused by cardiovascular collapse and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

22. Development of a robust and rapid microfluidics-based antibiotic susceptibility test : From prototype to clinical implementation
Sammanfattning : Even though bacteria normally are rapidly cleared from the blood by the immune system, a blood stream infection may arise, in turn possibly leading to sepsis and septic shock. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, where the inflammatory response to infection targets tissues and organs. LÄS MER
23. Treatment of septic patients : fluids, blood and timing of antibiotics
Sammanfattning : Background: Fluid therapy is an important component of the treatment of septic shock. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends early fluid resuscitation with at least 30 ml/kg and there is no recommendation on when to stop giving fluids. Many studies have shown an association between fluid overload and morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
24. Primary prevention defibrillators in clinical practice
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Guidelines for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) advocate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Many patients are not considered for treatment and the net benefit of ICDs in real life is insufficiently studied. LÄS MER
25. Atrial fibrillation : clinical managements with special emphasis on cardioversion
Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia of clinical importance. It often decreases quality of life and is related to significant morbidity, as well as decreases longevity. LÄS MER
