1. 1. Cystic Fibrosis - long term results of a treatment package including preventive physical exercise

   Författare :Louise Lannefors; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; physiotherapy; survival; physical exercise; airway clearance; working capacity; lung function;

   Sammanfattning : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disorder leading to progressive deterioration of lung function and death. This thesis describes the demography of CF in Sweden, its treatment, with special reference to physiotherapy, and its effects on lung function and peak working capacity (PWC). LÄS MER

3. 2. Deposition and clearance of inhaled particles in patients with obstructive airway diseases

   Författare :Katharina Svartengren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :bronchial asthma; chronic bronchitis; immotile-cilia syndrome; tracheobronchial clearance; mucus; cough; particle deposition; laryngoscopy; lung function;

   Sammanfattning : A large part of the population (at least 10%) suffers from asthma or chronic bronchitis. Knowledge of deposition and clearance of inhaled particles in the respiratory tract in this group of patients is essential for estimating environmental health hazards, as well as optimal effects of therapeutic aerosols.

4. 3. Studies on Airway Surface Liquid in Connection with Cystic Fibrosis

   Författare :Inna Kozlova; Godfried Roomans; Anca Dragomir; Marieann Högman; Isabelle Sermet-Gaudelus; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; CFTR; airway surface liquid; ion content; anesthesia; mist tent therapy; Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common fatal inherited diseases, most prevalent among Caucasians. CF is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which helps to create sweat, digestive juices, and airway surface liquid (ASL).

5. 4. Neutrophil subsets in airway inflammation and hyperreactivity

   Författare :Sandra Ekstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are part of the first lines of defence against invading microbes. They play an essential role in antimicrobial host defence by recognizing microorganisms through the various receptors that can be expressed on their surfaces. LÄS MER

7. 5. Studies of Tight Junctions and Airway Surface Liquid in Airway Epithelium with Relevance to Cystic Fibrosis

   Författare :Harriet Nilsson; Godfried M Roomans; Anca Dragomir; Marie Johannesson; Olafur Baldurson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-organ autosomal recessive disease of fluid-transporting epithelia, due to a mutation in the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR is a cAMP-regulated Cl-channel involved in various regulatory processes. LÄS MER
