  1. 11. Environmental and lifestyle factors, including viral infections, in relation to development of allergy among children in Saint-Petersburg and Stockholm

    Författare :Anna Sidorchuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergic diseases; children; Cytomegalovirus; environmental tobacco smoke; Epstein-Barr virus; farm-related exposure; sensitization; wood smoke;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases in children, particularly noteworthy in developed countries, has become an object of international concern. A lack of exposure to a broad range of infectious agents in early life has been suggested as one of the contributing factors. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Atopic dermatitis : clinical and epidemiological aspects in children up to four years

    Författare :Maria Böhme; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atopy; childhood; criteria; eczema; heredity; IgE; infections; prevention; sensitisation; severity;

    Sammanfattning : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic, chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease; its aetiology is presumed to be multifactorial with interactions between genetic and environmental factors. In recent decades the prevalence of AD has increased remarkably, most likely due to environmental factors in early life. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Population structure and antibiotic resistance of the genus enterococcus in humans, animals and the environment

    Författare :Aina Iversen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Enterococci; epidemiology; ecology; food animals; humans; environment; vancomycin resistance; sewage; transmission; diversity; antibiotic resistance; surveillance;

    Sammanfattning : Enterococci belong to the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. An increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant enterococci causing nosocomial infections has drawn attention to the epidemiology and emergence of antibiotic resistance in this genus. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Origin of intraradicular infection with Enterococcus faecalis in endodontically treated teeth

    Författare :Roberto Vidana; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The reported prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis, both a commensal of the gastro-intestinal tract and a common nosocomial pathogen, ranges from 24% to 77% in post-treatment root canal infections. To date it has not been possible to explain this prevalence, since its origin remains unknown. LÄS MER

  7. 15. The Role of Zinc in Leishmaniasis and Tuberculosis

    Författare :Miguel Guzman; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :Cutaneous leishmaniasis; tuberculosis; zinc supplementation; lymphocytes; cell proliferation; INF-γ; CD4 CD8 ratio;

    Sammanfattning : The synergistic relation between nutritional deficiency and infection may have negative effects on the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infection. Zinc can affect the resistance to infections by modulating cytokine release, and by acting as a cofactor of thymulin, which induces the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. LÄS MER
