1. 1. 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

3. 2. Lung function after cardiac surgery : With special reference to atelectasis and ventilation-perfusion relationships

   Författare :Arne Tenling; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Cardiac surgery; thoracic epidural analgesia; vital capacity manoeuvre; computed tomography; ventilation-perfusion relationships; gas exchange; atelectasis; respiratory inductive plethysmography; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

   Sammanfattning : Patients undergoing cardiac surgery were investigated before and after the operation.Ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) relationships were examined by the multiple inert gas elimination method, and atelectasis and aeration of the lungs were examined by computedtomography (CT).

4. 3. Indoor environment and tobacco smoke exposure in relation to allergic disease and lung function

   Författare :Jesse D Thacher; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma and other allergy related diseases are the most common chronic diseases in childhood, and have become a major public health concern. The rapid increase in the occurrence of these diseases, especially in high-income countries, has led to the study of the role ofvarious environmental and lifestyle factors. LÄS MER

5. 4. Functional ability in non-ambulatory people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy assessed with the EK scale

   Författare :Birgit F Steffensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Duchenne muscular dystrophy; EK scale; functional ability; natural history; nonambulatory stage; predictor; reliability; scoliosis; spinal muscular atrophy; treatment; validity.;

   Sammanfattning : Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are neuromuscular diseases characterised by profound global skeletal muscle weakness leading to severe physical disability. The EK scale, an instrument for assessment of functional ability in non-ambulatory people with DMD or SMA, was developed. LÄS MER

7. 5. Overweight in relation to allergic disease in childhood and adolescence

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

   Sammanfattning : The prevalences of childhood overweight and allergic diseases have increased in parallel during the last decades. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the associations between overweight (maternal and childhood) and allergic diseases, as well as lung function, throughout childhood up to adolescence.
