    Sammanfattning : Up to one third of Swedish middle-aged men snore habitually, disturbing their surroundings. More than 5% suffer from medical rhonchopathy combining snoring with obstructive breathing and fragmented sleep. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Women : Risk Factors, Signs and Consequences

    Författare :Malin Svensson; Eva Lindberg; Mats Holmström; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :snoring; sleep apnea; women; general population; risk factors; daytime sleepiness; inflammation; pharynx;

    Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring, apneas and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Obesity is a risk factor for snoring and sleep apnea, but data on other factors in relation to obesity are ambiguous. Symptoms of sleep apnea in women have not been fully elucidated. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Melatonin secretion and excretion : a clinical study focusing on factors and disease states which might influence melatonin

    Författare :Johan Wikner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Melatonin; ethanol; Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome; calcium; calcium channel blocker; verapamil; 6-sulphatoxy-melatonin; Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome; Continuos Positive Airway Pressure; Fibromyalgic syndrome; TSH; somatostatin; octreotide; GH; Hypothyroidism;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to find out whether other factors than the the light-dark changes influence the function of the pineal gland. Since melatonin (MT) itself, or its precursor serotonin, are of importance for sleep, mood, and pain perception, disease states - or situations in which these functions are disturbed - should be of interest to investigate in this context.

  5. 14. Epidemiological perspectives on sleep : health-related outcomes and subjective-objective sleep assessments

    Författare :Anna Westerlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to expand knowledge about self-reported habitual sleep in relation to health outcomes and objectively measured sleep. Study I was a cross-sectional analysis of 40,197 Swedish adult volunteers participating in the National March, a fundraising event for the Swedish Cancer Society held in 1997. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Immune response in human tonsil tissue

    Författare :Karin Ågren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Tonsillar hypertrophy; reeurrent tonsillitis; infectious mononueleosis; cytokine; immune response.;

    Sammanfattning : Pathogenic mechanisms responsible for tonsillar hypertrophy (TH) in children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were studied and compared with children with recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and infectious mononucleosis (IM), respectively. In an initial study the clinical consequences of OSAS caused by TH was investigated. LÄS MER
