1. 1. Transmission of Infectious Bioaerosols : Sources, transport and prevention strategies for airborne viruses and bacteria

   Författare :Malin Alsved; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bioaerosol; infectious disease; Norovirus; Airborne bacteria; aerosols;

   Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases that can be transmitted via air often spread rapidly, sometimes causing large epidemic and pandemic outbreaks. As an increasing number of people live in crowded urban environments, and with frequent and long-distance traveling across the world, infectious diseases can spread even faster. LÄS MER

3. 2. On the epidemiology, clinical presentation and transmission of respiratory viral infections

   Författare :Nicklas Sundell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory viruses; measles; influenza; epidemiology; meteorological factors; real-time PCR; viral transmission; lower respiratory tract infection;

   Sammanfattning : Respiratory viral infections encompass a large heterogenous group of pathogens that constitute a major burden of disease globally. The various routes of transmission including airborne spread make them difficult to control. LÄS MER

4. 3. All that's mine I carry with me. Early life disease and adult health in Sweden during 250 years

   Författare :Martin Lindström; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Key words: early life; life course; infant mortality rate; nutrition; disease; airborne infectious diseases; socioeconomic differences; historical demography; 18th-21st centuries; Sweden.;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to study early life risk exposures in relation to adult health and mortality in Sweden during 250 years. A number of causal mechanisms by which exposure to diseases and stressful economic and social conditions early in life may lead to increased morbidity and mortality later in life are discussed (paper I).

5. 4. Environmental and lifestyle factors, including viral infections, in relation to development of allergy among children in Saint-Petersburg and Stockholm

   Författare :Anna Sidorchuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Allergic diseases; children; Cytomegalovirus; environmental tobacco smoke; Epstein-Barr virus; farm-related exposure; sensitization; wood smoke;

   Sammanfattning : The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases in children, particularly noteworthy in developed countries, has become an object of international concern. A lack of exposure to a broad range of infectious agents in early life has been suggested as one of the contributing factors. LÄS MER

7. 5. An electrostatic sampling device for point-of-care detection of bioaerosols

   Författare :Laila Ladhani; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Jorma Keskinen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrostatic sampling; bioaerosols; point-of-care; breath sampling; electrostatic precipitation; microfluidic collection; corona discharge; air sampling; non-invasive diagnostics; exhaled breath analysis; on-site detection; aerosol sampling; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Bioaerosols are not only a significant factor of air quality but contribute greatly to the spread of infectious diseases, specifically through expired pathogen-laden aerosols. Clear examples of airborne transmission include: the recent influenza pandemic of 2009, the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic, and yearly norovirus out- breaks, which affect millions of people worldwide and pose serious threats to public healthcare systems.
