  1. 36. Aspects of eczema in childhood

    Författare :Natalia Ballardini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a common itchy inflammatory skin disease that often starts in childhood. Having eczema is troublesome and has been shown to reduce quality of life. Eczema is associated with an increased risk for other allergy-related diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. LÄS MER

  3. 37. Tailoring bioinformatics strategies for the characterization of the human microbiome in health and disease

    Författare :Mauricio Barrientos Somarribas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The human microbiome is a very active area of research due to its potential to explain health and disease. Advances in high throughput DNA sequencing in the last decade have catalyzed the growth of microbiome research; DNA sequencing allows for a cost-effective method to characterize entire microbial communities directly, including unculturable microbes which were previously difficult to study.

  4. 38. Early childhood thymectomy - impact on immune function

    Författare :Judith Gudmundsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunologi; Thymus; Pediatric cardiac surgery; Congenital heart defect;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The thymus is the site of T cell maturation. Children born with a congenital heart defect often endure surgery early in life, and during surgery their thymus is routinely removed, as it blocks the surgeons access to the heart. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Atopy in children : association to life style

    Författare :Johan Alm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Anthroposophy; atopy; BCG; children; life style; microflora NRAMP1;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of allergic diseases has risen; in some countries nearly half the children suffer from some type of hypersensitivity. The reason for this increase is obscure, but one explanation is suggested to be a changing panorama of microbial stimulation early in life. LÄS MER

  7. 40. The relationship between inflammation and structural changes in the airways of the lower and upper respiratory tract : Studies in patients with asthma, Sjögren's syndrome, rhinitis and children with otitis media with effusion

    Författare :Kawa Amin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; inflammatory cells; asthma; rhinitis; Sjögren s syndrome; children with otitis media with effusion; immunohistochemistry; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of asthma, Sjögrens syndrome (SS), rhinitis, and otitis media with effusion (OME) in children has been extensively investigated in upper and lower respiratory tract, respectively, and shown to comprise structural changes in the airways and involvement of inflammatory cells. By comparing diseases that have bronchial hyperresponsivenses or mucosal inflammation as a common denominator, it may be possible to learn more about the mechanisms underlying inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tract.
