  1. 1. Towards Improved Diagnostics and Monitoring in Childhood Asthma : Methodological and Clinical Aspects of Exhaled NO and Forced Oscillation Technique

    Författare :Charlotte Heijkenskjöld Rentzhog; Malinovschi Andrei; Lennart Nordvall; Kjell Alving; Lauri Lehtimäki; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; children; exhaled NO; forced oscillation technique; airway inflammation; small airways; asthma diagnostics; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    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

  3. 2. Severe asthma and asthma control in schoolchildren

    Författare :Björn Nordlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma control;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma is a major health problem in children and most troublesome during severe or persistent symptoms. Children with problematic severe asthma have a disproportionate consumption of health care, despite high-dose treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Investigating problematic severe asthma in children : a translational approach

    Författare :Jon R Konradsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Children with problematic severe asthma (PA) have persistent symptoms and/or severe exacerbations despite treatment with high doses of currently available asthma medications. The term PA includes children who are difficult to treat due to unidentified exacerbating factors (e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. New approaches for diagnostics and therapy of allergy to pets

    Författare :Konrad Wadén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases have been described already in 900 AD but today allergic diseases have reached epidemic proportions. About 30% of the world population is affected. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens

    Författare :Hans Grönlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergens; allergy; cat; diagnostics; immunotherapy; recombinant allergens;

    Sammanfattning : More than 10% of the population in industrialized countries suffer from lgE-mediated cat allergy. Allergens produced by recombinant techniques offer new possibilites to diagnose and treat allergic patients but will also help to uncover the mechanisms behind the sensitisation. LÄS MER
