  1. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. Nasal mucosal reactivity after long-time exposure to building dampness

    Författare :Stig Rudblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Indoor environment; histamine provocation; nasal mucosa; mucosal reactivity; rhinostereometry; moisture; Laser-Doppler.;

    Sammanfattning : An association between working and/or residing in damp buildings and respiratory health has been reported in a number of studies. A major limitation has been difficulty in objectively verifying any effects on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract in order to explain symptoms of irritated eyes, nasal congestion and cough that are often reported by occupants in buildings with indoor air problems.

  5. 4. New Mediators and Novel Mechanisms in Allergic Airway Inflammation

    Författare :Malin Bryborn; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergic airway inflammation; airway hyperreactivity; inflammatory mediators; S100A7; IL-4; proteomics; genetic variation; Charcot-Leyden crystal protein;

    Sammanfattning : Hyperresponsiveness and inflammation are major pathophysiological features of both allergic rhinitis and asthma. The mechanisms behind these are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pregnancy rhinitis : pathophysiological effects of oestrogen and treatment with oral decongestants

    Författare :Karin Toll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pregnancy rhinitis, a common condition, is thought to affect about 20 % of pregnant women. This type of rhinitis may develop at any time during pregnancy and the nasal stuffiness usually disappears shortly after delivery. This condition is troublesome and can interfere with sleep, induce tiredness and dryness of the mouth. LÄS MER
