   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Andningsorganen; Respiratory system; evaluative; discriminative; questionnaire; asthma; COPD; HRQL; patient-reported outcome; health-related quality of life;

   Abstract : Background - The effects of intervention can be evaluated in different ways, and objective measurements of changes in lung function are commonly used as the outcome measure. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) is an umbrella term used for all patient-based assessments. READ MORE

4. 22. Nutrition and energy expenditure in women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

   Author : Nighat Farooqi; Thomas Sandström; Frode Slinde; Lena Håglin; Tommy Cederholm; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Energy expenditure and women; Women and COPD; Nutrition and women; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Abstract : AimThe overall objective of this thesis was to increase the knowledge and validate methods for assessment of total daily energy expenditure (TEE), energy requirement and energy intake (EI) in women with COPD. We also investigated the relationship of BMI with clinical characteristics of COPD in a population-based study. READ MORE

6. 24. Allochthonous and autochthonous carbon sources of lake bacterioplankton

   Author : Emma Kritzberg; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; aquatic ecology; marine biology; Hydrobiology; bacterial community composition; bacterial growth efficiency; bacterioplankton; carbon subsidy; dissolved organic carbon; limnology;

   Abstract : Organic substrates for pelagic bacteria are derived from dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water column that originates either from primary production from within the lake itself (autochthonous), or import of organic matter from the terrestrial watershed (allochthonous production). This thesis addresses the utilization of allochthonous versus autochthonous carbon (C) sources by lake bacterioplankton. READ MORE

7. 25. The Bronchoalveolar Lavage Proteome- Phenotypic associations to smoking and divergence towards development of COPD
