Sammanfattning : Patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) are at increased risk of developing malignant lymphoma. The studies in this thesis aim at broadening our understanding of the association between these two conditions. LÄS MER
2. Airway responsiveness and exhaled nitric oxide : Studies in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, four different types of provocation agents: methacholine, adenosine, cold air and mannitol were used to study different aspects of the airway responsiveness profile in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and markers of eosinophil activation, serum eosinophil peroxidase (S-EPO) and eosinophil cationic protein (S-ECP) were measured. LÄS MER
