      Sjöberg, Thomas K.; Mercer, James; Weum, Sven; de Weerd, Louis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that can provide indirect and real-time information on skin perfusion by measuring skin temperature. Although used in flap surgery, there are no reports on its value in procedures using a pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of DIRT in ...

    • Vasopressin impairs brain, heart and kidney perfusion: an experimental study in pigs after transient myocardial ischemia 

      Müller, Stig; How, Ole-Jakob; Hermansen, Stig Eggen; Stenberg, Thor Allan; Sager, Georg; Myrmel, Truls (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-21)
      Introduction: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is increasingly used to restore mean arterial pressure (MAP) in low-pressure shock states unresponsive to conventional inotropes. This is potentially deleterious since AVP is also known to reduce cardiac output by increasing vascular resistance. The effects of AVP on blood flow to vital organs and cardiac performance in a circulation altered by cardiac ...

    • Ventilasjon av operasjonsstuer: forenklet metodevurdering 

      Risstad, Hilde; Holtet Evensen, Line; Movik, Espen; Lerner, Martin Robert (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)
      Postoperative sårinfeksjoner fører til økt sykelighet og dødelighet. Ventilasjonssystem i operasjonsstuer er én av mange faktorer som kan påvirke infeksjonsforekomst. Hvilket ventilasjonssystem som er best på å forebygge infeksjoner i operasjonssår har vært diskutert i mange år.<p> <p>Vi har utarbeidet en forenklet metodevurdering for å undersøke effekten av laminær ventilasjon (LAF) på infeksjonsforekomst. ...
    • Vessel co-option in primary human tumors and metastases: an obstacle to effective anti-angiogenic treatment? 

      Dønnem, Tom; Hu, Jiangting; Ferguson, M.; Adighibe, Omanma; Snell, Cameron; Harris, Adrian L.; Gatter, Kevin C; Pezzella, F (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Angiogenesis has been regarded as essential for tumor growth and progression. Studies of many human tumors, however, suggest that their microcirculation may be provided by nonsprouting vessels and that a variety of tumors can grow and metastasize without angiogenesis. Vessel co-option, where tumor cells migrate along the preexisting vessels of the host organ, is regarded as an alternative tumor ...
