    Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous and chronic inflammatory syndrome with the lungs as its main target organ. Clinically, COPD is characterized by airflow limitation, chronic respiratory symptoms, and many extrapulmonary comorbidities. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Respiratory symptoms and lung function in foundry workers exposed to low molecular weight isocyanates

    Författare :Håkan Löfstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :formaldehyde;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Some foundries use the Hot Box method, which involves use of a nitrogen-containing binder system to produce cores for hollow castings. During the process, low molecular weight isocyanates such as isocyanic acid (ICA) and methyl isocyanate (MIC) are formed, which are potentially toxic. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Cystic Fibrosis - long term results of a treatment package including preventive physical exercise

    Författare :Louise Lannefors; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; physiotherapy; survival; physical exercise; airway clearance; working capacity; lung function;

    Sammanfattning : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disorder leading to progressive deterioration of lung function and death. This thesis describes the demography of CF in Sweden, its treatment, with special reference to physiotherapy, and its effects on lung function and peak working capacity (PWC). LÄS MER

  5. 14. Long-term exposure to air pollution from road traffic and lung function in children and adolescents

    Författare :Erica S Schultz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Lung function in early life is an important predictor of peak lung function and later decline in adults. However, lung development may also be influenced by factors later in childhood and adolescence. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Molecular and epidemiological investigations of lung involvement in very early rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Guðrún Björk Reynisdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory joint disease with at least two distinct clinical phenotypes defined by the presence or absence of antibodies, i.e. rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-­citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). LÄS MER
