  1. 6. Thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke 2015 in Lund: a retrospective comparison of outcomes and assessment of times

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Gabriel Grubb; [2017]
    Keywords : Stroke; Thrombectomy; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background and purpose: Stroke is one of the world’s most common diseases and the second leading cause of death worldwide. From 1996 to 2006 the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was limited to intravenous fibrinolytic therapy; a treatment often associated with risk and insufficiency. READ MORE

  3. 7. Design of an In-vitro Set-up for Sonothrombolysis of human blood clots using microbubbles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Jovana Janjic; [2013]
    Keywords : Ultrasound; microbubbles; thrombolysis;

    Abstract : Several studies suggest that the use of ultrasound in conjunction with microbubbles (MBs) can induce the lysis of the blood clots through acoustic cavitation and through the production of microjets and microstreaming. However, there is no accordance about the optimal ultrasound parameters that have to be considered in order to achieve the maximum thrombolytic effect, neither a clear agreement about the type of MBs that have to be used.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Sandra Eklund; [2012]
    Keywords : nötkreatur; cyanobakterier; leverstatus; leverenzymer; microcystin; nodularin; Östersjön;

    Abstract : SAMMANFATTNING En betydande del av den svenska nötkreaturspopulationen finns i kustnära områden. Enligt gammal hävd och av praktiska skäl tillåts boskap på perifert belägna marker släcka törsten i de vattendrag som finns att tillgå på betet och längs Östersjökusten dricker djuren havsvatten då färskvatten ofta är en bristvara.

  5. 9. The effect of prophylactic platelet transfusions on point-of-care coagulation parameters in conjunction to central venous catheter insertion—what effect do transfusions have and are they necessary?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Johan Hahr Schoug; [2012]
    Keywords : Platelet; Platelet transfusion; Thromboelastography; Thromboelastometry; Platelet aggregometry; ROTEM; Multiplate; Central venous catheter; CVC; Thrombocytopenia; Coagulation; Thrombocyte; Platelet function; Cancer; Hematological malignancy; Leukemia; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Platelet transfusions are often used when thrombocytopenic patients are facing a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, but their use has been up to debate. Point-of-care devices such as thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) better reflect in vivo haemostasis than routine coagulation tests. READ MORE

  6. 10. The effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on different fibrinogen quantification methods in elective neurosurgery.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Gustaf Lejonberg; [2012]
    Keywords : hydroxyethyl starch; photometric Clauss; Clauss method; fibrinogen determination; p-fibrinogen; fibrinogen quantification; HES; thromboelastography; thromboelastometry; ROTEM; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Fibrinogen, a plasma protein essential for clot formation, can reach critically low levels during bleeding. The most commonly used method to determine fibrinogen is the photometric Clauss method. READ MORE
