  1. 11. Predictive testing for contact allergy : comparison of some guinea pig and mouse protocols including dose-response designs

    Författare :Helen Wahlkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :contact allergens; contact allergy; cumulative contact enhancement test; dose-response; evaluation; Freund s complete adjuvant test; guinea pig maximization test; local lymph node assay; mouse ear swelling test; patch test; predictive testing; statistical analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Contact allergy (delayed hypersensitivity) may develop as a result of skin exposure to contact allergens (haptens) and can lead to allergic contact dermatitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate some predictive animal test methods for contact allergens. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Non-infectious rhinitis. Epidemiology and clinic

    Författare :Johan Hellgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-infectious rhinitis; Paper dust; Asthma; Quality of life; Acoustic rhinometry;

    Sammanfattning : We have assessed self-reported rhinitis in the absence of common cold, called "Non-infectious rhinitis", (NIR). The occurrence of NIR was investigated in a population sample of 2,044 individuals, aged 21-51, in an industrialised county in Sweden who answered a questionnaire relating to NIR and occupational exposure to potential irritants and sensitisers.

  4. 13. Dermal exposure to UV-radiation and UV-curable acrylate coatings in the wood working industry

    Författare :Jouni Surakka; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The work with UV radiation curable coatings (UV-coatings), increasingly used in the wood working industry, involves risks from skin exposure to hazardous UV-radiation and to harmful compounds in UV-coatings. The coatings contain acrylates that are known skin irritants and sensitizers. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Skin barrier responses to moisturizers

    Författare :Izabela Buraczewska; Hans Törmä; Marie Lodén; Berit Berne; Magnus Lindberg; Ehrhardt Proksch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin barrier function; moisturizers; long-term treatment; transepidermal water loss; gene expression; skin pH; lipids; urea; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi;

    Sammanfattning : Moisturizers are used in various types of dry skin disorders, but also by people with healthy skin. It is not unusual that use of moisturizers is continued for weeks, months, or even years. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Sensory mechanisms in the human upper airway - Role of TRP ion channels

    Författare :Lisa Alenmyr; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TRPV1; TRPV4; TRPA1; allergic rhinitis; itch; rhinorrhea; MUC5B; MUC5AC; epithelial;

    Sammanfattning : The nasal mucosa is richly innervated with sensory nerves having the ability to detect changes in the environment and mediate symptoms such as secretion and itch. Some TRP ion channels such as TRPV1 and TRPA1 are abundantly expressed in sensory nerves and respond to a wide variety of stimuli, including irritants, inflammatory mediators and temperatures. LÄS MER
