  1. 1. Environmental Factors in Relation to Asthma and Respiratory Symptoms among Schoolchildren in Sweden and Korea

    Författare :Jeong-Lim Kim; Gunilla Wieslander; Dan Norbäck; Lena Elfman; Nils Åberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Allergen; allergy; asthma; dampness; diet; environment; formaldehyde; nitrogen dioxide; plasticizer; schoolchildren; ultrafine particles; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis studied environmental factors in relation to asthma and respiratory symptoms among schoolchildren in two countries. In Sweden, 1014 pupils (5-14 year) in 8 schools participated. Wheeze was reported by 7.8%, current asthma by 5. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Clinical and immunological studies of respiratory allergy among farmers : with focus on dust mite allergy

    Författare :Marianne Kronqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :asthma; exposure; farmers; Lepidoglyphus destructor; recombinant allergen; rhinoconjuctivitis; risk factors; sensitisation; storage mites; Tyrophagus putrescentiae;

    Sammanfattning : Many studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis in most of the industrialised world. In addition, occupational asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and allergies have increased during the last decade. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Regulation of human immune responses to allergens

    Författare :Anna-Carin Lundell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :recognition receptors; antigen-presenting cells; sCD14; sCD83; T cells; neonates; gut microflora; staphylococcus aureus; allergens; allergy; children;

    Sammanfattning : The incidence of allergic diseases is increasing in the industrialized countries. Epidemiological studies indicate that there is an association between exposure to high levels of endotoxin or cat allergen during infancy and reduced risk of developing allergic diseases later in childhood.

  5. 4. On causes and regulation of anti-viral defence in asthma and COPD

    Författare :Mandy Menzel; Respiratorisk immunofarmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; rhinovirus; exacerbation; airway epithelial cell; ; pattern recognition receptors; interferon; allergen; azithromycin; inflammasome; epithelial-derived cytokines; oxidative stress; asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; rhinovirus; exacerbation; airway epithelial cell; pattern recognition receptors; interferon; allergen; azithromycin; inflammasome; epithelial-derived cytokines; oxidative stress;

    Sammanfattning : Rhinovirus infection is a main trigger of asthma and COPD exacerbations. dsRNA, a viral replication intermediate, is sensed by pattern recognition receptors in the airway epithelium leading to down-stream induction of anti-viral interferons. LÄS MER

  7. 5. New aspects of allergic mechanisms and innate immunity in asthma. Alarmins as upstream mediators of asthma inflammation

    Författare :Sangeetha Ramu; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; Aeroallergens; Airway inflammation; Bronchial epithelial cells; Bronchial smooth muscle cells; Metabolic DAMPs; Proteases; Allergen immunotherapy; Mast cells; Viral infections; innate immunity;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease affecting over 300 million individuals worldwide. Both respiratory viral infections and aeroallergens have been identified as important risk factors for asthma. LÄS MER
