  1. 16. Nitric oxide within the concept of united airway disease : Exhaled and nasal nitric oxide in cystic fibrosis, asthma and upper airway inflammatory diseases

    Författare :Christina Krantz; Andrei Malinovschi; Kjell Alving; Celeste Porsbjerg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nitric oxide; nasal NO; exhaled NO; asthma; cystic fibrosis; airway inflammation; upper airway inflammatory disorders; united airway disease; IgE sensitisation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Within the concept of united airway disease, it is postulated that inflammatory disorders in the upper and lower airways are interrelated and influence each other. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is an established biomarker of type-2 inflammation in the lower airways and is elevated in patients with asthma. LÄS MER

  3. 17. IgE sensitization against food allergens : Natural history, relation to airway inflammation and asthma

    Författare :Antonios Patelis; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Rönmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergen components; extract-based; exhaled NO; airway hyperresponsiveness; blood eosinophil count; IgE sensitization; food hypersensitivity; food allergens; perennial allergens; natural history; markers of systemic inflammation; markers of local inflammation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Fysiologi; Physiology; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: According to recent studies in children, IgE sensitization not only against perennial allergens, but also against food allergens, is related to asthma risk and increased airway inflammation. During the last decade, a new technique for IgE determination based on allergen components has become available, but its use in epidemiological studies has been limited. LÄS MER

  4. 18. From youth to adult : studies on chronic airway obstruction with special reference to events in the neonatal period

    Författare :Petra Um-Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: In western countries, 6-12% of all pregnancies end preterm, i.e. before 37 weeks of gestation. After the introduction of antenatal corticosteroids and improvements of neonatal intensive care, survival rates for children born preterm have increased worldwide. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Acute cytokine responses to inhaled swine confinement building dust

    Författare :Zhiping Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Inhalation of swine house dust (swine dust) may cause an acute inflammatory reaction Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS). The reaction does not require sensitisation and is associated with airway inflammation, general symptoms, and slight spirometric changes. The agents and causing this reaction are not known. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Asthma and allergy in teenagers and young adults, risk-factors and T-cell regulation

    Författare :Sten-Erik Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases among teenagers and young adults. The prevalence of asthma among young adults in Sweden is approximately 7-10%. Despite this, only a limited number of studies have focused on asthma, allergy and allergic inflammation in this age group. LÄS MER
