1. 11. Inflammatory Markers, Respiratory Diseases, Lung Function and Associated Gender Differences

   Författare :Inga Sif Ólafsdóttir; Christer Janson; Anders Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; C-reactive protein; matrix metalloproteinase-9; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1; COPD; FEV1; FVC; lung function; systemic inflammation; gender differences; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Systemic inflammation is associated with impaired lung function. Inflammation is part of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the local and systemic inflammatory pattern differs. LÄS MER

3. 12. Prognosis, Prediction and Risk Assessment in the Prevention and Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Författare :Martin Sandelin; Christer Janson; Henrik Riska; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemoradiation therapy; induction chemotherapy; thrombocytosis; anaemia; leucocytosis; EGFR; guidelines; molecular pathology; ACOS; COPD; risk assessment; comorbidities; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Lung cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer. Smoking causes roughly 90% of lung cancer cases. Concurrent chemoradiation therapy is the standard of care for stage IIIb patients with performance status (PS) 0-1. A less toxic approach is warranted for less fit patients. LÄS MER

4. 13. Respiratory and cardiovascular responses to diesel exhaust exposure

   Författare :Håkan Törnqvist; Joel Kaufman; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Exposure to traffic-derived air pollution is associated to high incidence of respiratory and cardio-vascular morbidity and mortality. Diesel engines and fossil fuel contribute to a great amount to the ambient particulate matter pollution. LÄS MER

5. 14. Activation of lung epithelial cells by group 2 mite allergens

   Författare :Camilla Österlund; Anders Bucht; Thomas Sandström; Jan Wahlström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; group 2 mite allergens; Der p 2; Der f 2; Eur m 2; Lep d 2; airway epithelium; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Throughout many parts of the world house dust mites (HDM) are considered as a major source of indoor aeroallergens and they are powerful inducers of allergic diseases. Proteolytic HDM allergens are recognised as being able to directly activate respiratory epithelial cells and thereby actively participate in innate immune responses. LÄS MER

7. 15. 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
