1. 1. Optimizing and evaluation of a methacholine provocation test : with application in occupational research

   Författare :Britt-Marie Sundblad; Bengt-Eric Skoogh; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Airway responsiveness; methacholine provocation; nitric oxide; eucapnic hyperventilation; organic dust; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : We have developed a methacholine provocation method, which detects bronchial responsiveness in more than 80% of healthy subjects. The method enables us to detect differences in bronchial responsiveness within the normal range. With this method FEV1 and Gaw had similar sensitivity in detecting small differences in bronchial responsiveness. LÄS MER

3. 2. Allergy to laboratory animals : risk factors for development of allergy and methods for measuring airborne rodent allergens

   Författare :Anne Renström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :laboratory animal allergy; atopy; IgE; methacholine provocation; aeroallergen measurement; ELISA; monoclonal antibody; Mus m 1; Rat n 1;

   Sammanfattning : Between 10-50% of workers exposed to laboratory animals, mainly rats or mice, develop laboratory animal allergy (LAA) with symptoms of rhinitis, conjuctivitis, asthma, or urticaria, and IgE against animal allergens. Symptoms often arise within the first years of animal work. Up to half of the symptomatic subjects develop asthma. LÄS MER

4. 3. Airway responsiveness and exhaled nitric oxide : Studies in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome

   Författare :Dóra Lúðvíksdóttir; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Airway hyperresponsiveness; nitric oxide; airway inflammation; Sjögren s syndrome; asthma; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, four different types of provocation agents: methacholine, adenosine, cold air and mannitol were used to study different aspects of the airway responsiveness profile in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and markers of eosinophil activation, serum eosinophil peroxidase (S-EPO) and eosinophil cationic protein (S-ECP) were measured. LÄS MER

5. 4. From sneeze to wheeze: Non-invasive studies on asthma and rhinitis

   Författare :David Aronsson; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway inflammation; united airways; airway hyperresponsiveness; asthma; allergíc rhinitis;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma and allergic rhinitis are diseases that cause major disability and illness in all ethnic groups and ages. It is well established that allergic rhinitis and asthma are closely linked entities and more than 75 % of the patients with asthma reports concomitant rhinitis. LÄS MER

7. 5. Quality of life and markers of inflammation : a study of asthma in primary care

   Författare :Per Olof Ehrs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Mild Asthma; primary care; quality of life; airway inflammation; bronchial responsiveness; fluticasone.;

   Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic disease that usually is diagnosed and treated in primary care. Most patients have a mild to moderate disease. Asthma is considered to be caused by inflammation of the airways. LÄS MER
