2. 16. Evaluation of medical and/or surgical treatment of anosmia/hyposmia in association with inflammatory disease of the upper airway

   Author : Ebba Hedén Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Nasal polyposis; olfaction; medical surgical treatment; corticosteroids; scoring; staging; endoscopy; symptoms; anosmia; hyposmia; olfactory threshold test butanol ; computed tomography; sinuses; well-being; clinical; evaluation;

   Abstract : Background: There is a lack of evidence-based, prospective studies in treatment of nasal polyposis. The correlations between symptoms, polyp scores and computed tomography (CT) scans have not been studied sufficiently. Little, if any, sense of smell is common in nasal inflammatory disease.

4. 17. Experimental studies of human fetal liver cells : in regard to in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

   Author : Bim Lindton; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : In utero transplantation; fetal liver cells; mixed lymphocyte culture; CD3; CD56; HLA class II; parvovirus B 19 capsids; corticosteroids; cytotoxic drugs; colony formation.;

   Abstract : Successful in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation represents a potential step forward in the management of patients with severe inherited hematological, metabolic and immunological disorders. Animal data from a number of species have demonstrated evidence of engraftment, but to date the only effective in utero transplantations (IUTx) in humans have been performed in fetuses with severe immunodeficiencies, suggesting that the fetal immune system play a vital role in the success or failure of in utero transplantation.

5. 18. Laser Doppler imaging of patch tests : a methodological and comparative study with visual assessments

   Author : Bolli Bjarnason; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : skin perfusion; laser Doppler perfusion imaging; laser Doppler perfusion scanning; contact dermatitis; patch test technique; test procedure; test method; test system; patch test optimization; serial dilution; dose; exposure time; application time; reading time; immunosuppression; pigmented patch test materials; edge effect; nickel; isothiazolinones; corticosteroids; budesonide; neomycin; balsam of Peru;

   Abstract : Optimal test technique for most allergens is lacking. Despite technological progress in the 20th century, patch tests are habitually still assessed visually. Morphology of definite positive patch tests is unknown, reflected by various reading scales available and false-positive tests. READ MORE

   Author : Lena Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Objective: In the last decades the survival rate of preterm infants has increased substantially.1-3 Despite improved intensive neonatal care the incidence of chronic lung disease in infants born preterm has not changed. READ MORE
