  1. 6. Patients with asthma-like symptoms but negative asthma tests and patients with bronchial asthma

    Författare :Karin Ringsberg; Töres Theorell; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma-like symptoms; bronchial asthma; coping; dyspnoea; education; hyperventilation; lung function; physical exercise; quality of life; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with asthma-like symptoms but with negative results in asthma tests have recently been identified. The symptoms are mainly triggered by strong odours, physical exercise and mental stress. These patients are often misdiagnosed and mistreated. They mostly have to find coping strategies by themselves. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Refill Adherence to Long-Term Drug Treatment with a Focus on Asthma/COPD Medication

    Författare :Kristin Krigsman; Lena Ring; Lars G. Nilsson; Arne Melander; Johan Fastbom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Community pharmacy services; asthma; chronic disease; COPD; diabetes; pharmacy record database; prescription; refill adherence; Samhällsfarmaci;

    Sammanfattning : Most patients are non-adherent with their medication sometimes, i.e. that they do not always use their medicines as prescribed. This might result in both under- and overuse and can lead to therapy failure, resulting in both unnecessary suffering and high costs. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD

    Författare :Cristopher McCrae; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; COPD; Exacerbation; Virus; Interferon;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.

  5. 9. New aspects of allergic mechanisms and innate immunity in asthma. Alarmins as upstream mediators of asthma inflammation

    Författare :Sangeetha Ramu; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; Aeroallergens; Airway inflammation; Bronchial epithelial cells; Bronchial smooth muscle cells; Metabolic DAMPs; Proteases; Allergen immunotherapy; Mast cells; Viral infections; innate immunity;

    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

  7. 10. Functional Aspects of Epithelia in Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma

    Författare :Zhanna Servetnyk; Godfried Roomans; Michael Wilschansky; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Cell biology; cystic fibrosis; CFTR; chloride transport; airway epithelium; sweat gland; asthma; corticosteroids; montelukast; Cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP activated chloride channel in the apical membrane of epithelial cells, is defective in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Research efforts are focused on chloride channel function in order to find a cure for the disease. LÄS MER
