  2. 1. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Author : Maryam Fathi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : dermatomyositis; polymyositis; interstitial lung disease;

    Abstract : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are rare disease entities affecting skeletal muscle and other organs such as the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of poly-/dermatomyositis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Models of alveolar remodeling in chronic lung disease

    Author : Oskar Rosmark; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular matrix ECM ; Decellularization; Mass Spectrometry MS ; Biomechanics; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD ; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF ; Alveolar epithelial cells; Fibroblasts; Lung slices;

    Abstract : Lung function is highly dependent on the structure of the lung parenchyma. Remodeling of the alveolar compartment is a central part of the pathology of chronic lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). READ MORE

  5. 3. Immunopeptidomics and autoantigens of interstitial lung diseases

    Author : Emil Wiklundh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : We investigate Sarcoidosis and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, IPF, to find markers for early fibrosis development. The aetiologies for both diseases are unknown and there is no specific treatment, moreover, there is a lack of diagnostic biomarkers for both diagnose and disease activity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Lung T cells in inflammatory disorders : an approach to interstitial lung disease, multiple sclerosis and smoking induced inflammation

    Author : Mahyar Ostadkarampour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The lungs are constantly exposed to microorganisms and environmental irritants. Pulmonary inflammation is the result of an immune process to protect the body, and may sometimes eventually result in disease. T cells including various subsets are of major importance for orchestrating the protection of the lung as well as for inflammatory reactions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Radiation induced pneumonitis : clinical and experimental studies with special emphasis on the effect of smoking

    Author : Kenneth Nilsson; Leif Bjerner; roger Henriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pneumonitis; irradiation; bronchoalveolar lavage; breast cancer; interstitial lung disease; hyaluronan; mast cell; smoking;

    Abstract : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established method providing diagnostic support and evaluation of disease activity in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aims of the present investigation were 1) to study the inflammatory response in pneumonitis evoked by irradiation. READ MORE
