  2. 1. Exhaled Breath Condensate in Obstructive Lung Diseases : A Methodological study

    Author : Anette Davidsson; Birgitta Schmekel; Rolf Andersson; Sven‐Erik Dahlén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common inflammatory airway diseases characterized by airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion. Prediction of the outcome of these diseases may not be performed and the need for non-invasive diagnostic tools capable of identifying inflammation in asthma and COPD becomes therefore obvious.

  4. 2. Determination of benzene in urine and breath for monitoring of benzene exposure

    Author : Göran Ljungkvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biological monitoring; benzene; breath; urine; dynamic headspace; membrane; gas chromatography; mass spectrometry; thermal desorption;

    Abstract : The aim of this work was to develop and validate methods for determination of unmetabolized benzene in breath and urine. The methods were intended for the bio monitoring of benzene to assess both occupational and environmental exposure.A method was developed for the determination of benzene in end-exhaled air.

  5. 3. The asthmatic airway response – effects on physiology and biomarkers

    Author : Henning Stenberg; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : Asthma; Exhaled breath temperature; Exercise; Allergen challenge; Small airways; Airway provocations; Spirometry; Impulse oscillometry; Inert gas washout; Body plethysmography; Club cell protein CC16 ;

    Abstract : Asthma is a common airway inflammatory disease, associated with a variable degree of airway obstruction. It is a heterogeneous condition with large variations in severity and clinical presentation. Moreover, disease activity can vary from time to time. Taken together, these factors make the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of asthma challenging. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hepatocyte growth factor : Studies on local and systemic release and effects during infectious disease; in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Fariba Nayeri; Minoca Niste'r; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The interaction of mesenchymal and epithelial cells that occurs after organ injuries results in enhanced production of cytokines, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF is a glycoprotein with unique properties that contribute to wound healing after injuries. READ MORE
