  2. 1. Malassezia-related diseases

    Author : Aditya Gupta; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malassezia; dermatoses; yeasts; pityriasis versicolor; atopic dermatitis; seborrheic dermatitis; psoriasis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the new taxonomy of Malassezia may have important clinical implications. In particular, the studies look at pityriasis versicolor and other dermatological disorders associated with Malassezia yeasts to see whether there is a clear association between the yeast species and body site colonized and/or disease state.

  4. 2. Genetic studies of skin barrier defects with focus on atopic dermatitis

    Author : Mårten Winge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, complex inflammatory skin disorder where a defect skin barrier is central in the pathogenesis. Mutations in the filaggrin gene cause ichthyosis vulgaris (IV). IV is one of several keratinization disorders named ichthyoses where mutations in skin barrier genes are a common underlying genetic factor. READ MORE

  5. 3. Study of biomarkers for improved diagnosis and therapy monitoring in young asthmatics

    Keywords : Mild Asthma; primary care; quality of life; airway inflammation; bronchial responsiveness; fluticasone.;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Novel potential targets for treatment of airway inflammation

    Author : Terese Hylander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergy is a complex biological response mediated by several different cell types including B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and eosinophils. From clinical observations it is well-known that microbial infections, in particular viruses, can cause exacerbation of allergic rhinitis and asthma. READ MORE
