1. 26. Neutrophil subsets in airway inflammation and hyperreactivity

   Författare :Sandra Ekstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are part of the first lines of defence against invading microbes. They play an essential role in antimicrobial host defence by recognizing microorganisms through the various receptors that can be expressed on their surfaces. LÄS MER

3. 27. Nasal and bronchial airway reactivity in allergic and non allergic airway inflammation

   Författare :Karl-Gustav Kölbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Nasal hyperreactivity; airway hyperresponsiveness; Rhinostereometry; organic dust; adhesion molecules; endothelial cells;

   Sammanfattning : In allergic or asthmatic airways disease, upper and lower airways show a uniform eosinophilic inflammation of the mucosa, and bronchial hyperreactivity is a common finding. To study the co- variation of mucosal reactivity in upper and lower airways, histamine challenges of both sites were performed in a group of patients with allergic rhinitis during non-season.

4. 28. Immunopathological and Structural Alterations in Difficult to Control Asthma

   Författare :Anders Bergqvist; Luftvägsinflammation; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Severe asthma; bronchial thermoplasty; airway smooth muscle; neuroendocrine cells; inflammation; immune cells; remodelling;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide. Most patients with asthma can be controlled with bronchodilators and low to moderate dose inhaled corticosteroids. However, an estimated 5-10% of the population presents a more troublesome disease, often referred to as severe asthma. LÄS MER

5. 29. Regulation of experimentally induced airway obstruction

   Nyckelord :airway obstruction; antigen; capsaicin; epithelium; inflammatory mediators; sensory neurons; tube preparation; tachykinins; formoterol; histamine; presynaptic inhibition; in vitro; guinea pig; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma is one of the commonest diseases in industrialized countries. The cause and mechanisms of !he disorder are still not fully unden;tood, al!hough it is known that inflammation in !he airways plays an important role. Inflammatory mediators, e.g. LÄS MER

7. 30. Airway mechanics of mice and men

   Författare :Lennart Lundblad; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis we explore and further develop several techniques used in the animal laboratory as well as in the clinical setting. In particular, we expand the understanding and usefulness of plethysmographic techniques in small rodents. LÄS MER
