    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease affecting over 300 million individuals worldwide. Both respiratory viral infections and aeroallergens have been identified as important risk factors for asthma. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On dysregulated inflammation and airway host defense

    Författare :Ravi K. V. Bhongir; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aiway inflammation; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD ; Cystic Fibrosis; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; DNase I;

    Sammanfattning : Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by dysregulated inflammation of the airways. The increased influx of immune cells and the accumulation of cytokines lead to cell death, tissue destruction and impaired pulmonary function. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Clinical aspects of hidradenitis suppurativa

    Författare :Hassan Killasli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is often a chronic skin disease of unknown etiology characterized by formation of non-infectious inflammatory nodules, abscesses, and suppurating skin tunnels mainly in axillae and groins. The lesions are painful, scarring, malodorous and cause suffering, and social stigmatization. LÄS MER
