  1. 16. Health-Related Quality of Life in Asthma

    Författare :Mai Leander; Anna Rask-Andersen; Christer Janson; Alf Tunsäter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; Adult; Quality of Life; Cohort Studies; Longitudinal study; Questionnaires; Epidemiology; Prognosis; Gothenburg Quality of Life Instrument; Göteborg Quality of Life Instrument; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Caring sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Health-related quality of life (HRQL) has become an important outcome in asthma, since traditional outcomes, such as respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function, might not entirely express the patient’s perception of the limitations caused by the disease. The aim of this thesis was to study HRQL in asthma and to analyse if HRQL was related to asthma onset and prognosis. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Dental restorative materials from a work environmental perspective

    Författare :Emma-Christin Lönnroth; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Work Environment; Industriell produktionsmiljö;

    Sammanfattning : The main occupational health hazard for dental personnel is muscle-skeletal problem, followed by symptoms caused by exposure to chemicals. Clinical dental work includes exposure to a number of products like soap, detergents, disinfectants, amalgam, mono- and oligomers, catalysts, inhibitors, solvents and adhesives. Some are chemically very active. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Chemical reactions in ventilation systems : Ozonolysis of monoterpenes

    Författare :Jerker Fick; Barbro Andersson; Charles Weschler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Monoterpene; Ozone; OH Radical; Ozonolysis; Ventilation; Potassium Iodide; Experimental Design; Heat Exchanger; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Chemicals in indoor air, either emitted from a source or from a reaction, have been suggested to cause ill health in buildings. However, no clear correlations between exposure and health effects have been made. In this thesis we studied the reaction between monoterpenes, a group of biogenic unsaturated C10 hydrocarbons, and ozone. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Asthma and respiratory symptoms related to the housing environment

    Författare :Margot L. A. Frisk; Kitty Kamwendo; Ann-Britt Ivarsson; Göran Stridh; Christer Janson; Örebro universitet; []

Occupational Therapy Focus;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this dissertation was to study the housing environment with a focus on indoor climate factors which may maintain or worsen respiratory symptoms among persons with asthma.Quasi-experimental and cross-sectional designs and a case-control approach were used.

  7. 20. Proteomics of the upper airways : studies on a new lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, PLUNC

    Författare :Bijar Ghafouri; Bo Jonsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : There is now significant interest in identifying, quantifying and characterizing the human proteome, and new powerful techniques (proteomics) have evolved to deal with this giant task. In the present study, proteomics have been applied for the first time to map the proteins of the upper airways. LÄS MER
