  1. 11. Study of biomarkers for improved diagnosis and therapy monitoring in young asthmatics

    Författare :Nikolaos Tsolakis; Kjell Alving; Lennart Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma phenotypes; IgE sensitization; atopy; cat allergen components; exhaled NO; airway hyper-responsiveness; lung function; asthma-related quality of life.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Type-2 asthma is often related to atopy and is characterized by elevated type-2 biomarkers. However, less is known about the pathophysiology of non-type 2 asthma, factors associated therewith, and the stability of different asthma phenotypes over time. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Airway hyperresponsiveness and viral recognizing toll-like receptors

    Författare :Magnus Starkhammar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Common colds caused by viruses are, in healthy individuals, usually self-limited and with relatively mild symptoms. In asthmatic individuals, respiratory viruses can burst the defense immune system and trigger asthma exacerbations, including causing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Exahaled NO and small airway function in asthma and cystic fibrosis

    Författare :Christina Keen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; exhaled NO; children; cystic fibrosis; flow independent exhaled nitric oxide; multiple breath inert gas washout; polyunsaturated fatty acids;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) are chronic inflammatory airway disorders known to involve the peripheral airways. Non-invasive tests sensitive to peripheral airway function and inflammation are therefore of high priority. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Clinical studies on the role of eicosanoids in the asthmatic airway inflammation

    Författare :Kameran Daham; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The underlying mechanisms in the asthmatic airway inflammation involve the interaction between different cells and mediators that consequently result in different clinical phenotypes. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of inflammatory mediators, with emphasis on eicosanoids, on the inflammatory and functional airway responses under basal and triggered conditions in subjects with asthma, in particular ASA/NSAID-intolerant and allergic phenotypes.

  7. 15. From youth to adult : studies on chronic airway obstruction with special reference to events in the neonatal period

    Författare :Petra Um-Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: In western countries, 6-12% of all pregnancies end preterm, i.e. before 37 weeks of gestation. After the introduction of antenatal corticosteroids and improvements of neonatal intensive care, survival rates for children born preterm have increased worldwide. LÄS MER
