1. 1. Contact allergy to colophony : clinical and experimental studies with emphasis on clinical relevance

   Författare :Gunilla Färm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :colophony; contact allergy; gum rosin; laser Doppler flowmetry; LDF; pateh testing; repeated open application test; ROAT; rosin; tall-oil rosin; transepidermal water loss; TEWL; zinc oxide;

   Sammanfattning : Colophony - also called rosin - is a material obtained from coniferous trees. It is used widely in many products, particularly because of its good tackifying properties. Colophony is also used in paper sizing to increase water resistance. LÄS MER

3. 2. Water transport through perinatal skin : Barrier function and aquaporin water channels

   Författare :Johan Ågren; Gunnar Sedin; Gunnar Flemström; Steven B Hoath; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Preterm infant; Transepidermal water loss; Aquaporin; Skin biology; Hyperosmolarity; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

   Sammanfattning : While constituting a well functioning interface with the aqueous environment in utero, the skin offers a poor barrier after very preterm birth. As a result, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is high, a fact which has important clinical consequences in these infants. LÄS MER

4. 3. Preschool asthma : infant lung function, inflammation and skin barrier function in early life

   Författare :Martin Färdig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma is among the most common obstructive respiratory disorders in children, characterized by airway inflammation with features such as wheeze, cough and shortness of breath. Though the etiology behind the disease partly remains unknown, the roots likely origin from early life. LÄS MER

5. 4. Skin Barrier Function and mRNA Expression Profiles in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis, Ichthyosis Vulgaris, and X-linked Recessive Ichthyosis : Aetiopathogenic Differences and the Impact of Moisturizing Treatment

   Författare :Torborg Sturesdotter Hoppe; Berit Berne; Hans Törmä; Anders Vahlquist; Charlotta Enerbäck; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atopic dermatitis; ichthyosis vulgaris; X-linked recessive ichthyosis; skin barrier function; moisturizers; transepidermal water loss; gene expression; Dermatologi och venereologi; Dermatology and Venerology;

   Sammanfattning : Atopic dermatitis (AD), ichthyosis vulgaris (IV), and X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI) are characterized by dry skin and impaired skin barrier. AD and IV are related to loss-of-function mutations in FLG (encoding filaggrin), whereas XLRI is caused by deletions or inactivating mutations in the steroid sulphatase gene (STS). LÄS MER

7. 5. Electrical impedance related to experimental induced changes of human skin and oral mucosa

   Författare :Ingrid Nicander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :bioengineering; dielectric properties; electrical impedance; irritation; non-invasive; oral mucosa; skin; skin barrier; stratum comeum; stratum corneum lipids;

   Sammanfattning : There is a need for an objective and non-invasive method for assessing reactions in the human skin and oral mucosa, particularly for weak reactions. During the past few decades, several methods of measuring irritant responses have indeed been developed for the skin and to some extent also for the oral mucosa. LÄS MER
