   Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common. The estimated prevalence is about 10% among adults, but varies largely dependent on the major risk factors age and smoking. Under-diagnosis of COPD is substantial and is related to disease severity. LÄS MER

3. 2. Single limb exercises in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : feasibility, methodology, effects and evidence

   Författare :Andre Nyberg; Karin Wadell; Britta Lindström; Monika Fagevik Olsén; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; elastic resistance; exercise capacity; health-related quality of life; randomized controlled design; single limb exercises; systematic review; study protocol;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. COPD is a slowly progressive, inflammatory disease in the airways and lungs, caused mainly by smoking. The inflammation leads to a narrowing of the small airways (airway obstruction) and a destruction of tissue in the lungs. LÄS MER

4. 3. From youth to adult : studies on chronic airway obstruction with special reference to events in the neonatal period

   Författare :Petra Um-Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: In western countries, 6-12% of all pregnancies end preterm, i.e. before 37 weeks of gestation. After the introduction of antenatal corticosteroids and improvements of neonatal intensive care, survival rates for children born preterm have increased worldwide. LÄS MER

5. 4. Inflammation and cell migration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

   Författare :Kristin Blidberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth most common cause of death worldwide, is characterised by chronic airflow obstruction and chronic inflammation which affects large and, especially, small airways. There is an accumulation of inflammatory cells in the airways in COPD, in particular neutrophils, macrophages and CD8+ T-cells. LÄS MER

7. 5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aspects of smoking, biomarkers and cardiovascular disease

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and preventable disease characterized by airflow obstruction and emphysema development. COPD often coexist with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and both diseases have common risk factors i.e. age and smoking and shared features i. LÄS MER
