  1. 1. The asthmatic airway response – effects on physiology and biomarkers

    Författare :Henning Stenberg; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma; Exhaled breath temperature; Exercise; Allergen challenge; Small airways; Airway provocations; Spirometry; Impulse oscillometry; Inert gas washout; Body plethysmography; Club cell protein CC16 ;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a common airway inflammatory disease, associated with a variable degree of airway obstruction. It is a heterogeneous condition with large variations in severity and clinical presentation. Moreover, disease activity can vary from time to time. Taken together, these factors make the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of asthma challenging. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effect of allergen specific immunotherapy on allergic inflammation in the upper and lower airways

    Författare :Monica Arvidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; birch pollen allergy; cat allergy; specific immunotherapy; rush immunotherapy; experimental allergen challenge; late asthmatic response;

    Sammanfattning : Experimental allergen challenge is widely used in diagnostic practice and research in allergy, but its relationship to environmental exposures is not clarified. Both models of allergic diseases have been used in order to examine the effects of allergen specific immunotherapy (SIT). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Mast cell activation in response to osmotic and immunological stimulation with focus on release of eicosanoid mediators

    Författare :Magdalena Gulliksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction; cyclooxygenase; cord blood derived mast cells; mannitol; prostaglandin D2; leukotriene C4; leukotriene E4; histamine and 15-lipoxygenase.;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are important in asthma and other inflammatory diseases. Subjects with asthma have been found to have an increased number of mast cells in their airway smooth muscle and this was related to airway sensitivity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On the role of PGD2 metabolites as markers of mast cell activation in asthma

    Författare :Siobhán O'Sullivan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is the major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid released after stimulation of mast cells. Prostaglandin D2, itself is a very unstable compound, therefore, quantitative determination of PGD2 is an unreliable indicator of its own endogenous production. LÄS MER
