- The liver oxygen delivery (DO2) and consumption (VO2) were measured in a porcine model of septic shock induced by fecal peritonitis. Lactate and hypoxanthine were simultaneously monitored in hepatic extracellular fluid and in central venous blood using a microdialysis technique. Animals were divided into a control group (n = 6) and a peritonitis group (n = 6). Peritonitis was induced by installation of a standardized amount of autologous feces into the abdominal cavity. The animals were followed for 5 h. The changes in the liver during peritonitis were, a decreased DO2, a increased, maintained, or decreased VO2, an increased oxygen extraction, and a loss of net hepatic lactate uptake. Parallel to these changes, systemic lactic acidosis developed. Intrahepatic lactate and hypoxanthine increased during peritonitis reflecting liver ischemia. The increase of these metabolites was seen concomitantly in the liver and in central venous blood. There was a wide variability of the individual response to the septic challenge among the animals. The limited hepatic oxygen delivery, and the increased needs for oxygen led to flow-dependent oxygen consumption, and signs of liver ischemia in severe sepsis. Intrahepatic and intravenous microdialysis may be useful for monitoring of the individual time course of hepatic and systemic ischemia in sepsis.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To study the effects on splanchnic haemodynamics of pneumoperitoneum induced by carbon dioxide insufflation.DESIGN: Controlled experimental study.ANIMALS: 11 Pigs weighing 19-30 kg.INTERVENTION: The animals were divided into a control group (n = 4) and a experimental group (n = 7). Experimental animals were subjected to stepwise increasing intra-abdominal pressure from 0 mm Hg to 25 mm Hg by carbon dioxide insufflation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Portal venous blood flow, portal venous blood pressure, portal/hepatic vascular resistance, and gastrointestinal vascular resistance.RESULTS: At 25 mm Hg portal venous blood flow was reduced (66% of baseline), and portal venous blood pressure and portal/hepatic vascular resistance were increased (360% and 650% of baseline, respectively). The increase in gastrointestinal vascular resistance was less pronounced.CONCLUSIONS: Increased intra-abdominal pressure caused significant changes in the splanchnic haemodynamics. The risk was greater if the intra-abdominal pressure exceeded 15 mm Hg.

- OBJECTIVE: To establish the relationship between gut intramucosal pH and blood flow to the gut, gut oxygen delivery, and gut oxygen extraction ratio in a porcine model of peritonitis and hemorrhage.DESIGN: Prospective, controlled study.SETTING: Experimental laboratory in a university teaching hospital.SUBJECTS: Thirty pigs of both sexes, weighing 15 to 22 kg.INTERVENTIONS: Animals were anesthetized, intubated, and mechanically ventilated. A flow probe was placed around the superior mesenteric artery for registration of blood flow. A tonometer was placed in the lumen of midileum for calculation of gut intramucosal pH. Hourly, for 5 hrs, blood samples were taken from mixed venous, mesenteric venous, and arterial blood. Five animals served as controls, ten animals had peritonitis induced by fecal instillation in the abdominal cavity, five were bled stepwise, five were bled rapidly (to a mean arterial pressure of 30 mm Hg), and five were bled rapidly and reinfused after 3 hrs.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Both peritonitis and hemorrhage caused decreases in gut blood flow and intramucosal pH. In mild peritonitis, the intramucosal pH decrease preceded that of blood flow. In all experimental groups, oxygen delivery decreased over time; in both mild and severe peritonitis, this decrease was preceded by a decrease of intramucosal pH. Intramucosal pH correlated well with gut oxygen extraction ratio in peritonitis (r2 = .86). In hemorrhage, there was a correlation of r2 = .66, but in intramucosal pH of < 7.12, a further decrease was accompanied only by minor changes in extraction ratio.CONCLUSIONS: Since a reduction in blood flow was preceded by a decrease in intramucosal pH, low intramucosal pH in peritonitis cannot be explained by low flow alone. Gut oxygen delivery proved to be a poor indicator of gut acidosis (i.e., low intramucosal pH). In peritonitis, a decreasing intramucosal pH was associated with an increasing oxygen extraction ratio. In hemorrhage, this association had a sharp deflection point below which a further decrease in intramucosal pH occurred concomitantly with an unchanged gut oxygen extraction ratio. Increased extraction ratio was not sufficient, not even initially, to maintain aerobic metabolism (i.e., unchanged intramucosal pH).

Splanchnic oxygen consumption in septic and hemorrhagic shock.
- 1991

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Oxygen consumption (VO2) is dependent on oxygen delivery (DO2) in septic shock. Local hypoxia with later secondary organ failure may develop, however, despite an often hyperdynamic circulation. The splanchnic organs seem to be of vital importance in this context. In experiments performed in pigs we compared total body VO2 and DO2 with oxygen consumption and delivery in the gastrointestinal organs and the liver in two different shock states: (1) septic shock induced by peritonitis (n = 6) and (2) hemorrhagic shock (n = 6). Another group of six animals not in shock served as controls. Total, gastrointestinal, and liver DO2 decreased in a similar pattern in both septic and hemorrhagic shock. Gastrointestinal and liver VO2 increased in sepsis, whereas it was unchanged in hemorrhage. In the later phase of sepsis, liver VO2, but not gastrointestinal VO2, again decreased, because liver oxygen extraction was almost total and liver DO2 decreased further. The development of flow-dependent liver hypoxia was reflected in a decrease in liver lactate turnover (increased liver lactate release) during late sepsis. Early hypoxia in the splanchnic region is suggested as a plausible mechanism behind the development of secondary organ failure, especially in sepsis.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Ischaemia of the colon is a major challenge in aortoiliac surgery. The aim was to establish an animal model of partial distal colonic ischaemia to study interventional strategies.DESIGN: Randomised experiment.SETTING: University Hospital. Department of Experimental Research.MATERIAL: 19 pigs.INTERVENTIONS: 11 Pigs were subjected to ischaemia consisting of total occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery and partial occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. Eight animals were sham controls. Dextran was given.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Haemodynamic measurements, intramucosal pH-measurements (pHi) and histological grading.RESULTS: Both ischaemic animals and controls remained haemodynamically stable. It was possible to maintain stable ischaemia in the distal colon in the pHi-range of 6.9-7.1. There was histological mucosal damage of the distal colon in ischaemic animals but not in controls.CONCLUSIONS: The model could be of value when studying interventional strategies to reduce or reverse ischaemia.

Luminal release of hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) in intestinal ischemia in the rat.
- 1993

In: Digestion. - 0012-2823 .- 1421-9867. ; 54:3, s. 168-72

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan, the water-binding properties of which are suggested to be pivotal for an optimal hydration of tissues. The lamina propria of the intestinal villi is characterized by a high concentration of HA. Increased amounts of HA are observed in the intestinal lumen in patients with Crohn's disease. We have evaluated whether epithelial denudation as such is sufficient to increase the concentration of HA in the lumen of the small intestine. Epithelial damage was accomplished by reversible ischemia-reperfusion injury to the rat ileum and the concentration of HA was determined in luminal perfusate. The perfusate concentration of HA was increased from 26 +/- 8 micrograms/l before ischemia, to 68 +/- 13 and 41 +/- 12 micrograms/l 0-30 and 30-60 min after a 60-min period of subtotal ischemia without venous stasis (p < 0.05). In sham-operated animals, in contrast, the perfusate concentration of HA was virtually unchanged (31 +/- 18, 13 +/- 3 and 10 +/- 1 microgram/l, respectively). Specific staining for HA on sections revealed loss of HA from the villus tips after ischemia. The results show that epithelial denudation results in loss of HA from the villus interstitium to the intestinal lumen.

The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) systematic overview of chemotherapy effects in some major tumour types--summary and conclusions
- 2001

In: Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden). - : Informa UK Limited. - 0284-186X. ; 40, s. 135-

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This report by The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) reviews, classifies, and grades the scientific literature on cancer chemotherapy in some major tumour types, describes the practice of chemotherapy in Sweden, compares practice with scientific knowledge, and analyses the costs and cost-effectiveness of chemotherapy. The report is intended primarily for decision-makers at various levels, both practitioners and administrators. It is also of interest for the medical profession. The extensive body of scientific literature was reviewed according to strict criteria that reflected the scientific weight of the literature. Sixteen experts representing different disciplines (oncology, surgery, internal medicine, health economy and quality of life research) participated in the literature review. Each section was discussed within the project group and was reviewed by at least one, but usually two international researchers. Additional input was provided by national experts representing different scientific disciplines. For the final evaluation to be as close to the objective truth as possible, a concerted effort was made to guarantee objectivity and thorough assessment of current knowledge about the effects of chemotherapy on the selected cancers. The tumour types selected for this assessment include firstly those types where three investigations had shown an increased use of chemotherapy in Sweden during the latest decade. These were non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and urinary bladder cancer. Secondly, the two tumour types comprising the greatest number of patients treated with chemotherapy in Sweden, breast cancer and haematological malignancies, were included. Among the haematological malignancies, the most prevalent ones, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), Hodgkin's disease (HD), aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the large B-cell type and indolent NHL of follicular type were evaluated. These constitute about 75%, of all haematological malignancies. Thirdly, ovarian cancer was included since chemotherapy has been extensively used and since, at the time of the planning of this overview, a group of very expensive drugs, the taxanes, had preliminarily shown promising results. A wealth of scientific literature has been published on cancer therapy. The review presented in this report is limited to scientific studies judged to be important for evaluating chemotherapy efficacy. Assessments of the content and quality of these studies, and a critical summary of the results in all stages of the selected tumours, have never before been attempted in this way. However, similar comprehensive overviews of certain stages of the tumours have previously been made. These overviews were also critically evaluated. Totally 1,496 studies involving 558,743 patients were reviewed. The survey of practice of chemotherapy use involved all departments of surgery, urology, gynaecology, internal medicine including haematologic units, pulmonary medicine and general and gynaecologic oncology at 16 hospitals in two health care regions in Sweden, covering 39% of the Swedish population. During the 4 weeks of the survey, all patients with the diagnoses concerned who received chemotherapy were registered. The study included 1,590 patients. The working group's general conclusions are summarised in the following points: The literature on the effects of chemotherapy is extensive. Chemotherapy has a well-documented role in the curative and palliative treatment of patients with several types of cancer. The use of chemotherapy is of utmost importance for the possibility of cure in certain tumour types. In other tumours, chemotherapy increases the possibility of cure when added to local and regional treatments, particularly surgery. In the instances of no possibility of cure, chemotherapy may to a variable extent improve both patient survival and well-being. In Sweden chemotherapy is largely used in accordance with that documented in the scientific literature. The extent of both over- and under-treatment seems to be limited but cannot be excluded at the individual patient level. The literature-based knowledge is scientifically of lower quality in the most chemotherapy sensitive tumours than in tumours showing more limited sensitivity. In the more sensitive tumours, positive effects on a symptomatic stage and survival were seen several decades ago. In those days, clinical treatment studies did not fulfil the current high quality requirements. Small life-prolonging effects of chemotherapy are sometimes very well documented in large, high quality scientific studies. Some of these s

Interpersonal violence and the prediction of short-term risk of repeat suicide attempt
- 2016
-
In: Scientific Reports. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2045-2322. ; 6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this multi-center cohort study, suicide attempters presenting to hospital (N = 355, 63% women) were interviewed using the Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scale (KIVS) and followed-up by medical record review. Main outcome was non-fatal or fatal repeat suicide attempt within six months. Also, repeat attempt using a violent method was used as an additional outcome in separate analyses. Data were analyzed for the total group and for men and women separately. Repeat attempts were observed within six months in 78 persons (22%) and 21 (6%) of these used a violent method. KIVS total score of 6 or more was associated with repeat suicide attempt within six months (OR = 1.81, CI 1.08-3.02) and predicted new attempts with a sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 53%. A three-fold increase in odds ratio was observed for repeat attempt using a violent method (OR = 3.40, CI 1.22-9.49). An association between exposure to violence in adulthood and violent reattempt was seen in women (OR = 1.38, CI 1.06-1.82). The overall conclusions are that information about interpersonal violence may help predict short-term risk for repeat suicide attempt, and that structured assessment of interpersonal violence may be of value in risk assessment after attempted suicide.

Economic burden of NSAID-induced gastropathy in Sweden
- 2001
-
In: Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology. - : Scandinavian University Press. - 1502-7708 .- 0036-5521 .- 0000-0000. ; 36:7, s. 775-779
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Gastrointestinal side effects carry a significant cost related to the use of NSAID medications. Methods: The economic burden of NSAID-induced gastric side effects is estimated using the cost-of-illness methodology. Costs are calculated using both a prevalence (top-down) approach and an incidence (bottom-up) approach. Results: Using the top-down approach, the total cost in 1998 of NSAID-induced ulcers was MSEK 329-586, direct costs accounting for 76%-83%. The bottom-up approach gives an estimate of MSEK 320, of which MSEK 290 was direct cost. About one-quarter of total costs for ulcer disease can be attributed to the use of NSAIDs. Conclusions: Gastrointestinal side effects carry a significant cost from the use of NSAIDs, costs that are as important as the price of NSAIDs. This should be considered when choice of drug and prophylaxis is being made.

Oxygen-free radicals (OFR) and circulatory shock.
- 1991

In: Circulatory shock. - 0092-6213. ; 34:4, s. 405-11
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the past decade a large body of information has been collected showing that formation of short-lived highly reactive metabolites (i.e., radicals) constitutes an important principle of tissue injury. There are several sources of information which suggest that radicals are formed in connection with tissue ischemia and shock, and they may then cause damage to cells and contribute to the pathophysiology of ischemia and shock. In the present review we attempt to discuss how radicals damage tissue as well as the data which suggest that radicals are causing tissue injury in shock.
