    Sammanfattning : A large number of patients are treated with coronary stents, and restenosis (recurrent narrowing of the vessel) is a serious problem. Contact allergy to metal ions eluted from stainless steel stents has been suggested to contribute to in-stent restenosis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Contact allergy in Swedish adolescents : results from the BAMSE cohort study

    Författare :Maria Lagrelius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Contact allergy affects about 20-25% of adults in the general population, but it is not completely clear how common it is among children and adolescents. Contact allergy is caused by skin contact to sensitizing substances. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Allergy related diseases have increased in the Western world, affecting nearly half of the children. Lifestyle, dietary and environmental changes are thought to be important for disease risk and disease development. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Patch testing with palladium and aluminium, epidemiological and experimental studies

    Författare :Lisbeth Rosholm Comstedt; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Contact allergy to palladium; prevalence of metal allergy; patch testing with palladium; natrium tetrachloropalladate; palladium chloride; Finn Chamber; patch testing with aluminium; isolated palladium allergy; patch test system; adjuvants in patch testing; delayed hypersensitivty reaction;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractThe aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and significance of contact allergy to palladium from a Swedish perspective. Our initial findings made it necessary to also explore the importance of the metal aluminium used in test chamber systems and the effect of aluminium chloride (Al-Cl) in patch test preparations.

  7. 5. Occupational skin exposure to cobalt : origin and fate

    Författare :Jolinde Kettelarij; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Exposure to cobalt is not without risk. Besides adverse health effects on the respiratory system, cobalt is one of the most important sensitising metals with a contact allergy prevalence of 2.2% in the general population. Sources of exposure to cobalt in the general population are diffuse. LÄS MER
