  1. 21. Epidemiological Studies of Childhood Wheeze - Risk factors and Long-term Outcome

    Författare :Emma Goksör; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :children; wheezing; asthma; smoke exposure; gender; antibiotics; fish; paracetamol;

    Sammanfattning : Wheezing with viral infections is common in childhood and both genetic and environmental factors have been reported to influence the risk of subsequent asthma development. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the factors influencing the risk of wheezing at preschool age and the long-term outcome following severe wheezing in early life. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Remodeling of the pulmonary circulation - a novel response to allergic airway inflammation

    Författare :Kristina Rydell-Törmänen; Luftvägsinflammation; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vascular remodeling; OVA; HDM; asthma;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is characterized, not only by inflammation but also by airway and vascular remodeling. Airway remodeling is established early in disease, structural alterations have been found in children, and is thought to contribute to asthma symptoms. Unfortunately, airway remodeling is considered difficult to reverse and it seldom resolves completely. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Allergic airway disease : studies on diesel exhaust exposures, oxylipins and antioxidants

    Sammanfattning : Allergic airway disease, i.e. allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, is a common health problem. The prevalence is increasing in most countries of the world. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Airway allergic inflammation. A role of bone marrow and relationship to substance P

    Författare :Masafumi Tomaki; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; eosinophils; bone marrow; T lymphocytes; IL-3; IL-5; GM-CSF; substance P.;

    Sammanfattning : Airway inflammation, along with reversible airway narrowing and airway hyperresponsiveness, is a central pathophysiological feature of bronchial asthma. The airway inflammation in asthma is dominated by eosinophils, cells that originate in the bone marrow. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Ozone and diesel exhaust : airway signaling, inflammation and pollutant interactions

    Författare :Jenny Bosson; Anders Blomberg; Thomas Sandström; Ellinor Ädelroth; John Balmes; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; ozone; diesel exhaust; airway inflammation; asthma; immunohistochemistry; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : It is well established that air pollution has detrimental effects on both human health as well as the environment. Exposure to ozone and particulate matter pollution, is associated with an increase in cardiopulmonary mortality and morbidity. Asthmatics, elderly and children have been indicated as especially sensitive groups. LÄS MER
