  1. 6. Mast cells and their progenitors in respiratory diseases : Understanding their connection to lung function and airway inflammation

    Författare :P. Abigail Alvarado-Vazquez; Jenny Hallgren; Arne Egesten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cells; mast cell progenitors; pulmonary function test; allergic airway inflammation; experimental asthma model; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are rare immune cells involved in allergic diseases, including asthma. These cells are derived from mast cell progenitors (MCps) that migrate to the peripheral tissues via the blood in response to allergic or non-allergic stimuli. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Early life exposures and lung function development

    Författare :Björn Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Lung development is a dynamic process, vulnerable to adverse environmental exposures. Starting in utero, development continues postnatally, and although lung structure is mainly set at around two years of age, the maturation process continues into young adulthood. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Optimization of radiotherapy in locally advanced lung cancer

    Författare :Andreas Hallqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :radiotherapy; lung cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide as well as in Sweden, where the incidence is around 3500 new cases per year. About 50% have distant metastases by the time of diagnosis and are treated with palliative intent. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Cystic Fibrosis - long term results of a treatment package including preventive physical exercise

    Författare :Louise Lannefors; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; physiotherapy; survival; physical exercise; airway clearance; working capacity; lung function;

    Sammanfattning : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disorder leading to progressive deterioration of lung function and death. This thesis describes the demography of CF in Sweden, its treatment, with special reference to physiotherapy, and its effects on lung function and peak working capacity (PWC). LÄS MER

  7. 10. Proteolytic imbalance in COPD : epidemiological and clinical aspects

    Författare :Robert Linder; Anders Blomberg; Anne Lindberg; Annelie F. Behndig; Arne Egesten; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Matrix metalloproteinases; MMP-9; MMP-12; lung function decline; epidemiology; COPD; OLIN; KOLIN; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The complete pathologic mechanism behind the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear, but several risk factors have been identified, of which smoking is the most common. Proteolytic imbalance contributes to lung tissue degradation and is related to both smoking and COPD symptoms. LÄS MER
