    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anxiety; coping; Crohn s disease; depression; exacerbation; health-related quality of life; ulcerative colitis; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and coping strategies for individuals with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD), and to study the effect of a group-based patient information on anxiety/depression and HRQoL. HRQoL and anxiety/depression were investigated (n=492) (Study I). READ MORE

  4. 2. On causes and regulation of anti-viral defence in asthma and COPD

    Author : Mandy Menzel; Respiratorisk immunofarmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; rhinovirus; exacerbation; airway epithelial cell; ; pattern recognition receptors; interferon; allergen; azithromycin; inflammasome; epithelial-derived cytokines; oxidative stress; asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; rhinovirus; exacerbation; airway epithelial cell; pattern recognition receptors; interferon; allergen; azithromycin; inflammasome; epithelial-derived cytokines; oxidative stress;

    Abstract : Rhinovirus infection is a main trigger of asthma and COPD exacerbations. dsRNA, a viral replication intermediate, is sensed by pattern recognition receptors in the airway epithelium leading to down-stream induction of anti-viral interferons. READ MORE

  5. 3. Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; COPD; Exacerbation; Virus; Interferon;

    Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.
