  1. 1. Activation of epithelial signal transduction pathways, cytokine production and airway inflammation following diesel exhaust exposure

    Författare :Jamshid Pourazar; Thomas Sandström; Anders Blomberg; Anders Lindén; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Adverse health effects of ambient air pollution are well recognised and include increased morbidity and mortality in respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Diesel engines are major contributors to ambient particulate matter pollution and diesel particles have been shown to have strong toxicological and oxidative properties. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cardiopulmonary involvement in Puumala hantavirus infection

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome; hantavirus; echocardiography; respiratory function tests; computed tomography; bronchoalveolar lavage; biopsy; cytotoxic T cells; disease severity; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Europe. After inhalation of virus shed by bank voles, the virus systemically targets the vascular endothelium leading to vascular dysfunction and leakage. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Respiratory effects of particulate matter air pollution : studies on diesel exhaust, road tunnel, subway and wood smoke exposure in human subjects

    Författare :Maria Sehlstedt; Sandström Thomas; Jamshid Pourazar; Anders Bucht; Steffen Loft; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Airway inflammation; antioxidant; bronchoscopy; detoxification; immunohistochemistry; particulate matter; Environmental medicine; Miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Ambient air pollution is associated with adverse health effects, but the sources and components, which cause these effects is still incompletely understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the pulmonary effects of a variety of common air pollutants, including diesel exhaust, biomass smoke, and road tunnel and subway station environments. LÄS MER
