2. 1. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction : Prevalence, laryngeal findings and evaluation of treatment

   Author : Katarina Norlander; Leif Nordang; Malin Svensson; Riitta Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise; laryngeal obstruction; bronchoconstriction; CLE-score; EILOMEA;

   Abstract : Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is one of many different causes for adolescents to experience dyspnoea during exercise. Objective exercise-testing with continuous video laryngoscopy is crucial for a correct diagnosis since it is difficult to differentiate EILO from other exercise related conditions in the airways only on the symptomatology.

   Abstract : Asthma is one of the commonest diseases in industrialized countries. The cause and mechanisms of !he disorder are still not fully unden;tood, al!hough it is known that inflammation in !he airways plays an important role. Inflammatory mediators, e.g. READ MORE

5. 3. Nasal polyps. A clinical study of endoscopic score systems and epidemiology

   Author : Leif Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nasal polyps; score system; endoscope; epidemiology; airways; HRQL;

   Abstract : Introduction: Nasal polyps are a common disease, the etiology and pathogenesis of which are still unclear. For diagnosis, a nasal endoscope is essential, while for follow-up treatment, a reliable score system is necessary. The existing score systems consist of few score steps and measure only large changes in polyp size. READ MORE

6. 4. Chloride transport and inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways

   Author : Georgia Varelogianni; Godfried Roomans; Marie Johannesson; Ólafur Baldersson; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : Cystic fibrosis; CFTR; chloride efflux; N-acetylcysteine; ambroxol; duramycin; Nod-like receptors; cytokines; Medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common lethal, autosomal recessive inherited diseases among Caucasians. It is caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride channel activated by cyclic AMP. READ MORE

7. 5. Jet Ventilation for Airway Surgery : The Influence of Mode and Frequency on Ventilation Efficacy

   Author : Robert Sütterlin; Peter Frykholm; Anders Larsson; Ullman Johan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; jet ventilation; airway obstruction; tracheal stenosis; HFJV; SHFJV; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Abstract : In surgery for airway obstruction, the anesthetist and the ear-nose-throat surgeon share the approach to the airway and jet ventilation (JV) is a mutually convenient ventilation technique for both parties. As a consequence of the open system jet ventilation is applied in, bedside measurements of lung volumes are cumbersome to perform and thus, there is a lack of studies comparing different modes of JV or investigating the influence of ventilator settings on lung volumes and gas exchange.
