  1. 1. Nitric oxide and eicosanoids : significance and interactions during antigen-induced responses in peripheral lung tissue

    Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Nitric oxide; leukotrienes; prostaglandins; histamine; ovalbumin; contractions; distal lung; rat; human; guinea pig; precision-cut lung slices; mast cell;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma means difficulty in breathing and is described as a chronic, inflammatory disorder that produces narrowing of the lower respiratory tract. The allergen-induced asthmatic bronchoconstriction is primarily caused by an IgE-mediated release of the mast cell mediators, histamine and eicosanoids (leukotrienes and prostanoids). LÄS MER

  3. 2. PARENTS´ EXPERIENCES AND REACTIONS WHEN AN UNEXPECTED FINDING IN THEIR FOETUS IS REVEALED AT A ROUTINE ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION

    Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe parent’s experiences, reactions and needs in connection with a routine ultrasound examination during pregnancy when the foetus was found to have an abnormal ultrasound finding. The data collection began in February 2005 and the one year cohort study was completed by March 2006. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Patients with Hip Fracture : Various aspects of patient safety

    Författare :Anna-Karin Gunnarsson; Lena Gunningberg; Sune Larsson; Kenneth B Jonsson; Anne-Marie Boström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fracture; patient safety; nutrition; cranberry; patient involvement; adverse event; elderly; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate whether patient safety can be improved for patients with hip fracture by nutritional intervention and by pharmacological treatment with cranberry concentrate. Another aim was to describe the patients’ experience of involvement in their care. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Directed Enzyme Evolution of Theta Class Glutathione Transferase : Studies of Recombinant Libraries and Enhancement of Activity toward the Anticancer Drug 1,3-bis(2-Chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea

    Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Bengt Mannervik; Ian Cotgreave; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; glutathione transferase; directed evolution; 1; 3-bis 2-chloroethyl -1-nitrosourea; alkyltransferase; recombinant libraries; chloroethylnitrosourea; multi-dimensional data analysis; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are detoxication enzymes involved in the cellular protection against a wide range of reactive substances. The role of GSTs is to catalyze the conjugation of glutathione with electrophilic compounds, which generally results in less toxic products. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Early life cytokines, viral infections and IgE-mediated allergic disease

    Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Gunnar Lilja; Maria Jenmalm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IgE-sensitisation; childhood; cytokine; viral infection; atopy; single nucleotide polymorphism; cord blood; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The reasons why some individuals become IgE-sensitised and allergic are largely unknown, though genetic- and early life environmental factors seem to be of importance.Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between IgE-sensitisation and allergic disease, viral infections, genetic markers and early life cytokines.
