1. 1. Rhinostereometry and laser doppler flowmetry : simultaneous measurements of inflammation and steroid effects in normal and allergic human nasal mucosa

   Författare :Hans Grudemo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Rhinastereometry; Laser Doppler Flowmetry; Nasal mucosa; Allergic rhinitis Histamine challenge;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development of a combination of non-invasive methods for measuring different aspects of inflammation simultaneously in a selected part of the human nasal mucosa. It also describes use of this combination in studies of allergic nasal mucosa and the effects of intranasal steroids before and during the allergy season. 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. Nasal and bronchial testing as well as treatment of patients with airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation focusing on the united airway concept

   Författare :Anders Ehnhage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and asthma is a global health problem on the increase that causes major illness and disability worldwide, and also results in a large financial burden on society. This thesis contains six papers, based on four different clinical studies on humans with allergic as well as non-allergic airways inflammation, such as neutrophil inflammation caused by exposure to swine dust, as well as chronic rhinosinusitis and concomitant asthma with and without NSAID intolerance.
