4. 2. Novel Methods for Sampling, Characterization and Analysis of Airborne Street Particles in a Health Perspective

   Author : Ali Reza Nosratabadi; Anders Ljungman; Per Leandersson; Helen Karlsson; Peter Molnár; Henrik Kylin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fine; Coarse; wear particles; health; Lead; Cadmium; Brake wear particles; Endotoxin; Interleukins; TEOM; IPRL;

   Abstract : Over the last decades, there has been much attention on air quality, especially in urban environments. A significant factor effecting the air quality in the urban environment is airborne particulate matter (PM). Long-term exposure to PM causes increased risk for heart disease, decreased lung function, exacerbation of asthma, and lung cancer. READ MORE

5. 3. Cataract induced by UVR-B 300nm : characterization and genetic modulation of the lens sensitivity to oxidative stress

   Author : Linda Maren Meyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Lens; cataract; ultraviolet radiation; oxidative stress; Grx1; interleukins;

   Abstract : Cataract is defined as an opacification of the lens resulting in visual impairment.

6. 4. Induction of a non-allergic inflammation in the human respiratory tract by organic dust

   Author : Britt-Marie Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Swine farmers; airway inflammation; bronchial responsiveness; organic dust; interleukins; lekotrienes;

   Abstract : Swine farming is an occupation associated with high exposure levels to organic dust, but gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide are also contributing to the potentially hazardous exposure. The prevalences for respiratory symptoms, chronic or work-related, are increased among swine farmers, compared to both the normal population as well as other farming categories. READ MORE

7. 5. Respiratory tract infections, reflex apnea and sudden infant death : experimental and epidemiological studies with special reference to respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis and sleep position

   Author : Carl Lindgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Bordetella pertussis; Infection; Interleukins; Laryngeal chemoreflex; Respiratory syncytial virus; Reflex apnea; Sleep; Sleeping position; Sudden infant death;

   Abstract : The seasonal distribution of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) followed the prevalence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) when prone sleeping position was recommended, but this covariation has recently been attenuated. Airway infections in the young infant are known to produce respiratory disturbances. READ MORE
