  1. 1. Inhaled pharmacological treatment and critical inhaler technique errors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Författare :Johanna Sulku; Elisabet I. Nielsen; Alf Tunsäter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; COPD; critical inhaler technique error; pharmacological treatment; ICS; inhaled corticosteroid; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    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

  3. 2. Clinical and experimental studies in corticosteroid contact allergy

    Författare :Marléne Isaksson; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; venereologi; Dermatologi; venereology; Dermatology; inhalation; ROAT; mixes; hydrocortisone-17-butyrate; Corticosteroids; budesonide; tixocortol pivalate; dose-response relationship; clinical relevance; stability; allergic contact dermatitis;

    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

  4. 3. Function of B2-adrenoceptors on alveolar macrophages

    Författare :Anita Zetterlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :A;

    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

  5. 4. Immunopathological and Structural Alterations in Difficult to Control Asthma

    Författare :Anders Bergqvist; Luftvägsinflammation; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Severe asthma; bronchial thermoplasty; airway smooth muscle; neuroendocrine cells; inflammation; immune cells; remodelling;

    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

  7. 5. Allergic inflammation in children with pet allergy and asthma : mechanisms, markers and clinical consequences

    Författare :Karin Lönnkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma; animal dander allergy; children; eosinophils; ECP; EPO; EPX EDN; ENO; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; sputum; nasal lavage; budesonide; withdrawal.;

    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
