1. 36. Prognosis, Prediction and Risk Assessment in the Prevention and Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Författare :Martin Sandelin; Christer Janson; Henrik Riska; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemoradiation therapy; induction chemotherapy; thrombocytosis; anaemia; leucocytosis; EGFR; guidelines; molecular pathology; ACOS; COPD; risk assessment; comorbidities; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Lung cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer. Smoking causes roughly 90% of lung cancer cases. Concurrent chemoradiation therapy is the standard of care for stage IIIb patients with performance status (PS) 0-1. A less toxic approach is warranted for less fit patients. LÄS MER

3. 37. Charting the human lung with inhaled nanoparticles : Development of AiDA - a new diagnostic technique for respiratory disease

   Författare :Jonas Jakobsson; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Nyckelord :Aerosol; lung; lung deposition; respiratory tract; nanoparticles; ultrafine particles; airspace dimension assessment; AiDA; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; COPD; lung morphology;

   Sammanfattning : Changes to the smallest structures of the distal lung are often the first sign of severe respiratory disease, but to date methods to detect and quantify these changes are limited. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently estimated to be the third most common cause of death worldwide, but is to a large extent under-diagnosed, especially at early stages.

4. 38. Inflammatory Markers, Respiratory Diseases, Lung Function and Associated Gender Differences

   Författare :Inga Sif Ólafsdóttir; Christer Janson; Anders Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; C-reactive protein; matrix metalloproteinase-9; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1; COPD; FEV1; FVC; lung function; systemic inflammation; gender differences; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Systemic inflammation is associated with impaired lung function. Inflammation is part of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the local and systemic inflammatory pattern differs. LÄS MER

5. 39. SAR Studies of Capsazepinod Bronchodilators. The A-ring and the Coupling region

   Författare :Maria Dalence; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; COPD; Asthma; Capsazepine; Bronchodilators; Organic chemistry; SAR studies; Organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. LÄS MER

7. 40. The Role of FCGBP in Mucus - Structure, Processing and Function

   Författare :Erik Ehrencrona; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mucus; FCGBP; IgG; IBD; COPD; Mucins; Disulphide; GDPH;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, a bottom-up approach was used to study the IgG Fc-binding protein (FCGBP), which next to the MUC2 mucin is the second main component of secreted mucus in small intestine and colon. FCGBP is also found in airways during inflammatory conditions with static mucus. LÄS MER
