1. 11. Severe viral respiratory tract infections in children

   Författare :Samuel Arthur Rhedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are estimated to cause 703.000 deaths annually in children below five years. The majority of RTIs in children are caused by viruses, yet the number of antivirals approved for treatment of these infections is very limited. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Most respiratory tract infections (RTI) are self-limiting. Despite this, they are associated with high antibiotic prescription rates in general practice in Sweden. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the management of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) with particular emphasis on acute otitis media (AOM). LÄS MER

5. 14. Charting the human lung with inhaled nanoparticles : Development of AiDA - a new diagnostic technique for respiratory disease

   Författare :Jonas Jakobsson; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Nyckelord :Aerosol; lung; lung deposition; respiratory tract; nanoparticles; ultrafine particles; airspace dimension assessment; AiDA; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; COPD; lung morphology;

   Sammanfattning : Changes to the smallest structures of the distal lung are often the first sign of severe respiratory disease, but to date methods to detect and quantify these changes are limited. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently estimated to be the third most common cause of death worldwide, but is to a large extent under-diagnosed, especially at early stages.

   Sammanfattning : Mucosal inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are regulated by hundreds of different mediators. The recent discovery of gaseous mediators, produced and active within the airways, opens new possibilities for identification of therapeutic targets and ways to monitor airway inflammation. LÄS MER
