1. 16. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

   Författare :Maryam Fathi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :dermatomyositis; polymyositis; interstitial lung disease;

   Sammanfattning : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are rare disease entities affecting skeletal muscle and other organs such as the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of poly-/dermatomyositis. LÄS MER

3. 17. Cystic fibrosis in adults. Diagnostic, epidemiologic and quality-of-life aspects

   Författare :Marita Gilljam; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cystic fibrosis; Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; Pregnancy; Male infertility; Bronchoalveolar lavage; Quality of life; Questionnaire;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disease. The type of mutation in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene will determine the degree of CFTR chloride channel malfunction. LÄS MER

4. 18. Airway effects of diesel exhaust in healthy and asthmatic subjects

   Författare :Charlotta Nordenhäll; Thomas Sandström; Ellinor Ädelroth; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; diesel exhaust; airway responsiveness; airway inflammation; lung function; asthmatics; immunohistochemistry; bronchial epithelium;

   Sammanfattning : Several epidemiological studies have revealed an association between particulate matter (PM) pollution and various health effects. Importantly, there is evidence to suggest that individuals with pre-existing respiratory disease, such as asthma, are more sensitive to elevated ground levels of particulate matter as compared to healthy subjects.

5. 19. Airway responses to NO2 and allergen in asthmatics

   Författare :Charlotte Barck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Air pollution; nitrogen dioxide; asthma; allergic inflammation; eosinophil cationic protein; neutrophilic cells; bronchoalevolar lavage; nasal lavage; induced sputum;

   Sammanfattning : Nitrogen dioxide (N02), a gas produced by combustion, is a common environmental air pollutant. Individuals with asthma are more sensitive to N02 exposure than healthy subjects, according to results from controlled human-exposure studies. N02 can enhance the asthmatic response to inhaled allergen. LÄS MER

7. 20. Chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae in COPD and lung cancer

   Författare :Eva Brandén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Chlamydia pneumoniae; chronic infection; lung cancer; COPD; treatment; detection;

   Sammanfattning : Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Smoking is the main cause for both diseases, but other factors seem to contribute. LÄS MER
