2. 1. Allergen-induced late airways reaction in the pig : influence of endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids

   Author : Cecilia Fornhem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Ascaris suum; bronchial circulation; bronchial provocation test; budesonidecortisol; leukotrienes; eosinophil peroxidase; eosinophils; histamine; immunohistochemistry; metyrapone; minipig; myeloperoxidase; neutrophils; pig.;

   Abstract : A novel model for studies of the allergen-induced late reaction in the lower airways was developed in the pig. The influence on late bronchial obstruction and granulocyte function of endogenous cortisol levels and treatment with the glucocorticoid budesonide (BUD) was evaluated. READ MORE

4. 2. Sanitisation of faecal sludge by ammonia : treatment technology for safe reuse in agriculture

   Author : Jörgen Fidjeland; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Faecal sludge contains valuable plant nutrients and can be used as a fertiliser in agriculture, instead of being emitted as a pollutant. As this involves a risk of pathogen transmission, it is crucial to inactivate the pathogens in faecal sludge. One treatment alternative is ammonia sanitisation, as uncharged ammonia (NH₃) inactivates pathogens. READ MORE

5. 3. Pharmacovigilance of preventive chemotherapy for the control of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths in Ethiopia

   Author : Tigist Dires Gebreyesus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends preventive chemotherapy (PC) as a core public health intervention for the control and elimination of schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths (STHs) in endemic countries. Despite being amenable to available treatments and ongoing PC, schistosomiasis and STHs remain causes of significant morbidity and associated complications in endemic areas. READ MORE

6. 4. Ammonia sanitisation of human excreta : treatment technology for production of fertiliser

   Author : Annika Nordin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Safe reuse of plant nutrients from human excreta increases the sustainability of society and promotes health, both by decreasing disease transmission and by increasing agricultural production. This thesis examined ammonia sanitisation as a treatment method to produce a hygienically safe fertiliser from source-separated urine and faeces. READ MORE

7. 5. Gastrointestinal parasites in pigs : prevalence, risk factors and control

   Author : Emelie Pettersson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Gastrointestinal parasites are common in pigs worldwide, and in all production types. Clinical disease is rare and mainly associated with heavy nematode infections, or piglets infected with the coccidia Cystoisospora suis. Subclinical infections are more common and may result in reduced growth and poor feed utilisation. READ MORE
