    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; allergic rhinits; diesel exhaust; airway inflammation; oxylipins; metabolomics; antioxidants; SVCT2; bronchoscopy; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic airway disease, i.e. allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, is a common health problem. The prevalence is increasing in most countries of the world. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Long-term exposure to air pollution from road traffic and lung function in children and adolescents

    Författare :Erica S Schultz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Lung function in early life is an important predictor of peak lung function and later decline in adults. However, lung development may also be influenced by factors later in childhood and adolescence. LÄS MER

  4. 18. High resolution computed tomography in smoking induced disease

    Författare :Jenny Vikgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Smoking induced disease; emphysema; bronchiolitis; HRCT; lung function;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), usually caused by smoking, is common. It has high morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence is expected to increase. In Sweden about 500 000 individuals are affected, and COPD is the third most common cause of death among men. COPD is due to various combinations of small airway disease and emphysema. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Midkine - a host defence protein

    Författare :Sara Nordin; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial polypeptides; Midkine; antibacterial; antifungal; innate immunity; epithelial surfaces;

    Sammanfattning : Every day we encounter many potentially harmful microbes in our environment. The epithelial linings constitute an anatomical barrier protecting us and they also produce antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) that act as a chemical barrier. These AMPs are small and positively charged, killing a broad range of microbes rapidly. LÄS MER

  7. 20. 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; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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
