2. 1. Prevalance of upper airway symptoms and aspects on treatment of nasal polyposis

   Author : Petter Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Non-allergic rhinitis symptoms; prevalence; randomised controlled trial; nasal polyposis; functional endoscopic sinus surgery; mometasone furoate nasal spray; fluticasone propionate nasal drops; olfaction; health related quality of life; SF-36;

   Abstract : Background: Non-allergic rhinitis is a disease that is often trivialised, leading to inadequate management and unnecessary costs. One of the most common types of severe non-allergic nasal inflammation is nasal polyposis. Nasal polyposis is associated with asthma. READ MORE

4. 2. Ventilation of the Paranasal Sinuses. A study using the 133-Xenon Washout Technique

   Author : Bo Paulsson; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; auditive system and speech; single photon emission computed tomography; paranasal sinuses; ventilation; 133-xenon; chronic sinusitis; nose-sinus model; endoscopic sinus surgery; oxymetazoline; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; audiology;

   Abstract : A noninvasive 133-xenon washout technique was used to evaluate the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses in healthy subjects and in patients with sinus disease. A mixture of air and 133-xenon is insufflated into the nasal cavities and passage into the sinuses is facilitated by a pressure increase created by letting the subjects inflate a balloon. READ MORE

5. 3. Mucosal regeneration following sinus surgery : an experimental study and clinical study

   Author : Karin Forsgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : chronic sinusitis; histopathology; Caldwell-Luc operation; sinus surgery; rabbit; regeneration; sinus mucosa; experimental sinusitis; microcirculation; blood flow; vasoreactivity; nerve regeneration; sympathetic; neuropeptide Y; tyrosine hydroxylase; immunocytochemistry;

   Abstract : The investigations described in this thesis concerned functional and structural aspects of the regenerated sinus mucosa following sinus surgery. In a biopsy material collected pre- and postoperatively from patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis, randomized for treatment with either Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) or the Caldwell-Luc procedure (CL), histological parameters were evaluated semi-quantitatively and correlated to endoscopic findings and patients' symptoms.

6. 4. Nasal and bronchial testing as well as treatment of patients with airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation focusing on the united airway concept

   Author : Anders Ehnhage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and asthma is a global health problem on the increase that causes major illness and disability worldwide, and also results in a large financial burden on society. This thesis contains six papers, based on four different clinical studies on humans with allergic as well as non-allergic airways inflammation, such as neutrophil inflammation caused by exposure to swine dust, as well as chronic rhinosinusitis and concomitant asthma with and without NSAID intolerance.

7. 5. On Health-Related Quality of Life and Diagnostic Improvements in Rhinosinusitis

   Author : Pernilla Sahlstrand Johnson; allergi och livskvalitet Laryngoesofagologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rhinosinusitis; nasal polyps; health-related quality of life; absenteeism; Doppler ultrasound; acoustic streaming; attenuation;

   Abstract : Rhinosinusitis is defined as an inflammatory process involving the mucosa of the nose and one or more of the paranasal sinuses. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were to investigate the degree to which rhinosinusitis affects the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and to determine whether the diagnosis of this condition can be improved using Doppler ultrasound.
