1. 6. Etiological and clinical aspects of skin sensivity

   Författare :Sol-Britt Lonne-Rahm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Atopic dermatitis; laser treatment; nerves; neuropeptides; rosacea; sensitive skin; stinging;

   Sammanfattning : Rashes in dermatological disease are often accompanied by subjective symptoms, but in some cases the subjective symptoms are the most prominent signs of skin disorder. This is the case in "stinger patients", who may have an obvious skin disease, but in other cases there are no clear-cut reasons for the symptoms. LÄS MER

3. 7. Airway responsiveness and exhaled nitric oxide : Studies in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome

   Författare :Dóra Lúðvíksdóttir; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Airway hyperresponsiveness; nitric oxide; airway inflammation; Sjögren s syndrome; asthma; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, four different types of provocation agents: methacholine, adenosine, cold air and mannitol were used to study different aspects of the airway responsiveness profile in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and markers of eosinophil activation, serum eosinophil peroxidase (S-EPO) and eosinophil cationic protein (S-ECP) were measured. LÄS MER

4. 8. Immunological and inflammatory mechanisms in ocular allergy with special reference to vernal keratoconjunctivitis : clinical and experimental studies

   Författare :Per Montan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :allergic conjunctivitis; allergen challenge; atopy; conjunctival biopsy; eosinophils; ECP; IgE; immunohistochemistry; inflammation; interleukins; T-cells; tears; vernal keratoconjunctivitis;

   Sammanfattning : Ocular allergy encompasses a wide range of conditions, most of which implicate IgE in the pathogenesis. In contrast to the benign nature of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), the less common chronic eye diseases vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (VKC and AKC) are severe and debilitating disorders.

5. 9. Individual and environmental risk factors for hand eczema in hospital workers

   Författare :Eskil Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hand eczema; prospective study; hospital workers; irritants; contact allergy; contact urticaria; atopy; metal dermatitis; multivariate regression analysis; evaluation of risk factors; microflora; S. aureus in hand eczema;

   Sammanfattning : Individual and environmental risk factors in hand eczema have been investigated in a prospective cohort study of 2452 newly employed hospital workers with a follow-up time of 20 months. Current hand eczema was analyzed in 142 wet hospital workers from this cohort with respect to the etiologic importance of irritants, allergens and contact urticants. LÄS MER

7. 10. Studies on neuroimmune interactions in allergic inflammation with focus on neurotrophins

   Författare :Cecilia Kemi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Allergic inflammation; neuroimmune interaction; neurotrophins; smooth muscle cells; stress;

   Sammanfattning : Allergic asthma is a chronic airway disease characterized by an eosinophilic inflammation, bronchoconstriction, increased mucus production and bronchial hyperreactivity. The disease involves several mediators and cell types and is associated with a Th2-mediated immune response. Stress is a factor reported to deteriorate the allergic inflammation. LÄS MER
