  1. 1. Immersion and recreational boating-related injuries in Alaska

    Författare :Diana Stark Hudson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Alaska; injuries; drowning; cold water; immersion; submersion; hypothermia; survival;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cold water is an ever-present hazard in Alaska, and when water-related injuries occur, they often take place in remote environments, where the nearest trained emergency response teams are several hours away. Alaska’s crude drowning death rate in 2002 was 4. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nasal CPAP support of newborn infants : measurements of interface leakage and performance of selected systems

    Författare :Markus Falk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: The most common treatment for newborns in respiratory distress is nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). Comparing clinical studies have shown a better outcome and a lower risk of chronic lung disease compared to invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) when used as primary treatment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Lifesaving after cardiac arrest due to drowning. Characteristics and outcome

    Författare :Andreas Claesson; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drowning; Cardiac arrest; CPR; Lifesaving; Prehospen; Integrated Caring Science; Integrerad vårdutveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Aims The aim of this thesis was to describe out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to drowning from the following angles. In Paper I: To describe the characteristics of OHCA due to drowning and evaluate factors of importance for survival. In Paper II: To describe lifesaving skills and CPR competence among surf lifeguards. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Autonomic cardiac control in long QT syndrome : clinical studies of arrhythmogenic triggers

    Författare :Anna Lundström; Annika Rydberg; Urban Wiklund; Håkan Eliasson; Jacob Tfelt-Hansen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long QT syndrome; pediatrics; exercise; Holter; water immersion; arrhythmia; clinical physiology; ECG; heart rate variability; heart rate response; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning; kardiologi; Cardiology; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by prolonged cardiac repolarization and an increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are typically triggered by adrenergic stimuli, such as physical activity and intense emotions, implicating that the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in arrhythmogenesis.

  7. 5. Structural and Functional Studies of De Novo Designed Peptides at Surfaces

    Författare :Patrik Nygren; Bo Liedberg; Thomas Ederth; Martin Malmsten; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biofouling; vesicles; nanoparticles; peptide; peptide design; circular dichroism; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis deals with the structural and functional properties of peptides at surfaces. The interaction of peptides with surfaces is an ever so common occurrence in our every day life, from the bug squashed on the windshield of our car to the barnacle on our boat, and from the blood plasma used in the hospital to the proteins in our cells.
