1. Inhaled pharmacological treatment and critical inhaler technique errors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and a high risk of exacerbations. Preventive and maintenance pharmacological treatment is primarily administered through handheld inhalers, which are available in several different device-drug combinations. LÄS MER
2. Clinical and experimental studies in corticosteroid contact allergy
Sammanfattning : Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative substances that also can induce sensitization, mainly through skin contact. In a sensitized individual, it can be hard to disclose the contact allergy at patch testing because the anti-inflammatory effect may mask the allergic contact reaction. LÄS MER
3. Function of B2-adrenoceptors on alveolar macrophages
Sammanfattning : B2-Agonists are very effective drugs for bronchodilatation, provide a rapid relief of symptoms in asthma, and are recommended as first line treatment, together with steroids. The relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles is a well-established effect of B-agonists, but their effects on inflammatory cells in the airways are less certain. LÄS MER
4. Immunopathological and Structural Alterations in Difficult to Control Asthma
Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide. Most patients with asthma can be controlled with bronchodilators and low to moderate dose inhaled corticosteroids. However, an estimated 5-10% of the population presents a more troublesome disease, often referred to as severe asthma. LÄS MER
5. Allergic inflammation in children with pet allergy and asthma : mechanisms, markers and clinical consequences
Sammanfattning : Immunological background: Allergic inflammation is a multiple-step process with many actors, where eosinophils and the release of their granula proteins play an important role. The recruitment of eosinophils is a crucial event in the inflammatory process. LÄS MER
