1. Non-invasive analysis of leukotrienes as biomarkers of airway inflammation : method development and clinical applications
Sammanfattning : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common diseases characterized by chronic airway inflammation, but the inflammation in asthma is different from the one in COPD. In addition, asthma is a heterogeneous disease presenting with many different phenotypes (e.g. LÄS MER
2. Nitric oxide within the concept of united airway disease : Exhaled and nasal nitric oxide in cystic fibrosis, asthma and upper airway inflammatory diseases
Sammanfattning : Background: Within the concept of united airway disease, it is postulated that inflammatory disorders in the upper and lower airways are interrelated and influence each other. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is an established biomarker of type-2 inflammation in the lower airways and is elevated in patients with asthma. LÄS MER
3. Towards Improved Diagnostics and Monitoring in Childhood Asthma : Methodological and Clinical Aspects of Exhaled NO and Forced Oscillation Technique
Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease. Diagnosis relies on symptom evaluation and lung function tests using spirometry. Symptoms can be vague. Spirometry is effort-dependent and does not reliably evaluate small airways. LÄS MER
4. Exhaled nitric oxide in schoolchildren with asthma
Sammanfattning : Background: The fraction of nitric oxide in exhaled air (FENO) is believed to reflect the degree of allergic inflammation present in the lower airways. The diffusing capacity of NO in the airways (DawNO) and the concentration of this gas in the airway wall (FawNO) can be evaluated by determining FENO with different exhalation flow-rates. LÄS MER
5. Development of allergic and respiratory symptoms in adolescence and early adulthood : Risk factors and gender differences
Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma and allergic diseases have increased in prevalence for several decades and affect a substantial number of individuals in everyday life, as well as their families and public healthcare resources. Subjects with asthma report impaired self-rated health. LÄS MER
