  2. 1. Serological and faecal biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Karin Amcoff; Jonas Halfvarson; Marie Carlsson; Hans Törnblom; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Crohn s disease; ulcerative colitis; inflammatory bowel disease; faecal calprotectin; antibodies; eosinophils; ECP; EDN;

    Abstract : The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are relapsing and remitting disorders characterised by chronic inflammation at various sites in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Neither the aetiology nor the pathophysiology is yet fully understood, and there is currently no cure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular studies on Hirschsprung disease and 'Ondine's curse'

    Author : Pär-Johan Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hirschsprung disease; Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome; neurocristopathy; mutation analysis; RET; CDNF; EDNRB; EDN-3; EDN-I;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on molecular studies of two diseases that arise from dysfunction of, defective migration or inappropriate apoptosis of neural crest derived cells: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and "Ondine's curse" (congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, CCHS). The neural crest (NC) is a condensation of pluripotent cells of ectodermal origin. READ MORE

  5. 3. Allergic inflammation in children with pet allergy and asthma : mechanisms, markers and clinical consequences

    Author : Karin Lönnkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Asthma; animal dander allergy; children; eosinophils; ECP; EPO; EPX EDN; ENO; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; sputum; nasal lavage; budesonide; withdrawal.;

    Abstract : Immunological background: Allergic inflammation is a multiple-step process with many actors, where eosinophils and the release of their granula proteins play an important role. The recruitment of eosinophils is a crucial event in the inflammatory process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immunocytochemical studies of cutaneous nerves in human normal and prurigo nodularis skin

    Author : Yong Liang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Axon; CGRP; ECP; EDN EPX; eosinophil; histamine; HLA-DR; immunoelectron microscopy; Langerhans cell; mast cell; NSE; nerve fiber; p75 NGFr; PGP 9.5; prurigo nodularis; S-100; Schwann cell;

    Abstract : Cutaneous nerves may regulate the immune system and be involved in inflammatory events of the skin. Prurigo nodularis is a skin disease which histologically reveals a massive neural hyperplasia and a local inflammation in the lesional skin. READ MORE

  7. 5. Preschool asthma : infant lung function, inflammation and skin barrier function in early life

    Author : Martin Färdig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Asthma is among the most common obstructive respiratory disorders in children, characterized by airway inflammation with features such as wheeze, cough and shortness of breath. Though the etiology behind the disease partly remains unknown, the roots likely origin from early life. READ MORE
