Popular Abstract in Swedish Lungornas viktigaste funktion är att sörja för kroppens upptag av syrgas och avgivande av koldioxid. Lungorna består funktionellt av luftrören, genom vilka den inandade luften transporteras, och lungblåsorna (alveolerna), där utbytet av syrgas och koldioxid sker. Alveolerna är mycket små, ca 0,1 mm i diameter, men en vuxen individ har ca 300 miljoner alveoler och ytan dThe aim of this thesis was to study the transfer of solutes across the alveolo-capillary barrier in experimental models of alveolar surfactant dysfunction and lung injury as well as in smokers. Experimental studies were performed in anaesthetized, and mechanically ventilated animals. Surfactant dysfunction was induced by administration of a synthetic detergent in aerosol form. Lung injury was indu

Utmärkande för Sverige är att parterna snarare än staten står för arbetslivets reglering. Det har inte hindrat att staten under vissa perioder uppträtt mer aktivt än under andra.
