Patient safety at emergency departments : challenges with crowding, multitasking and interruptions
(2018-11-22)
Several challenges with patient safety in the emergency department (ED) context have been previously identified, and some commonly mentioned are crowding, multitasking, and interruptions. The ED is a complex, high-risk ...
Nitric oxide in brain contusion
(2005-05-13)
Trauma to the brain is a leading cause of death and disability. The primary injury initiates a cascade of biochemical reactions in the brain that causes further neuronal damage, a process referred to as secondary brain ...
Cost analysis and policy implications in psychiatric care

The economic burden of mental health constitutes a substantial part of the total costs of illnesses. Most estimates of cost-of-illness focus on somatic illnesses and corresponding studies of mental health are few. In Sweden ...
The role of nitric oxide in the gastrointestinal tract
(2012-11-21)
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important second messenger involved in the regulation of a multitude of mechanisms in the body, such as neurotransmission, smooth muscle contractility, host defense and immune regulation. Inflammatory ...
NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase as targets and regulators of the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway
(2016-11-11)
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidase (NOX) and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) with a concomitant decrease in the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) from eNOS contributes to the development of ...
Cardioprotective mechanisms by inhibition of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway and stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion
(2007-05-25)
Acute myocardial ischaemia causes metabolic changes and results in a rapid decrease in the energy available to the cell. This leads to cell injury that, depending on the length of the ischaemic time, is reversible or ...
