   Sammanfattning : Background – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, there is little information on the prevalence and particularly on the incidence of COPD. LÄS MER

3. 2. Prevalance of upper airway symptoms and aspects on treatment of nasal polyposis

   Författare :Petter Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Non-allergic rhinitis symptoms; prevalence; randomised controlled trial; nasal polyposis; functional endoscopic sinus surgery; mometasone furoate nasal spray; fluticasone propionate nasal drops; olfaction; health related quality of life; SF-36;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Non-allergic rhinitis is a disease that is often trivialised, leading to inadequate management and unnecessary costs. One of the most common types of severe non-allergic nasal inflammation is nasal polyposis. Nasal polyposis is associated with asthma. LÄS MER

4. 3. Clinical, immunological and olfactory aspects of sinusitis and nasal polyposis : with special reference to patients with cystic fibrosis

   Författare :Gert Henriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Nasal polyposis; sinusitis; cystic fibrosis; allergy; bacteria; in-patient; interleukin-8; muramidase; nasal lavage fluid; polymerase chain reaction; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; smell; olfaction; anosmia; hyposmia; olfactory threshold test; identification smell test; germ-free animal; T-cell receptor; normal microbiota.;

   Sammanfattning : The otorhinolaryngological approach to the problem concerning rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis in the recessive genetic disorder of cystic fibrosis (CF) has been developed based on data from international studies. Opinions differ on how to treat the otolaryngological manifestations of CF (sinusitis, nasal polyps and hyposmia). LÄS MER

5. 4. Nasal and bronchial airway reactivity in allergic and non allergic airway inflammation

   Författare :Karl-Gustav Kölbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Nasal hyperreactivity; airway hyperresponsiveness; Rhinostereometry; organic dust; adhesion molecules; endothelial cells;

   Sammanfattning : In allergic or asthmatic airways disease, upper and lower airways show a uniform eosinophilic inflammation of the mucosa, and bronchial hyperreactivity is a common finding. To study the co- variation of mucosal reactivity in upper and lower airways, histamine challenges of both sites were performed in a group of patients with allergic rhinitis during non-season.

7. 5. Nasal and bronchial testing as well as treatment of patients with airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation focusing on the united airway concept

   Författare :Anders Ehnhage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and asthma is a global health problem on the increase that causes major illness and disability worldwide, and also results in a large financial burden on society. This thesis contains six papers, based on four different clinical studies on humans with allergic as well as non-allergic airways inflammation, such as neutrophil inflammation caused by exposure to swine dust, as well as chronic rhinosinusitis and concomitant asthma with and without NSAID intolerance.
