  1. 6. Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD

    Författare :Cristopher McCrae; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; COPD; Exacerbation; Virus; Interferon;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.

    Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Besides abnormities within the respiratory system COPD is also associated with effects outside the lungs, so called systemic effects. LÄS MER

  3. 8. Swallowing Dysfunction in Respiratory Diseases : Prevalence and risk factors in COPD and COVID-19

    Författare :Margareta Gonzalez Lindh; Hirsh Koyi; Margareta Jennische; Monica Blom Johansson; Bonnie Martin-Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :swallowing dysfunction; dysphagia; COPD; dyspnoea; COVID-19; invasive mechanical ventilation; Rehabilitation Medicine; Rehabiliteringsmedicin; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Swallowing dysfunction, dysphagia, is a common, sometimes dangerous, and often neglected problem that affects many people. The prevalence is estimated to be approximately 8% in the general population which makes it as common as e.g. diabetes or asthma. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Molecular mechanisms mediating development of pulmonary cachexia in COPD

    Författare :Vladimir Basic; Jorge Ruas; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; COPD; cachexia; atrophy; cigarette smoke; myogenesis; angiogenesis; Biomedicin; Biomedicine; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Cigarette smoking (CS) represents the main causative agent underlying development and progress of COPD. Recently, involvement of CS in the pathogenesis of COPDassociated muscle abnormalities is becoming increasingly evident. Nevertheless, involved triggers and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. LÄS MER
