    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting the clinical course or monitoring therapeutic outcome in inflammatory bowel disease is an indisputable problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate markers of inflammation during inflammatory bowel disease therapy. READ MORE

  4. 22. The contribution of eosinophils and mediators in allergic inflammation

    Author : Annika Roquet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : allergic inflammation; eosinophils; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; histamine; leukotrienes; antihistamine; leukotriene-antagonist; low-dose challenge;

    Abstract : The aim of the present work was to investigate the development of allergic inflammation. For this purpose human experimental challenge models in skin, nose and bronchi were used as well as pharmacological interventions. A variety of inflammatory cells and mediators have been suggested as important in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. READ MORE
