2. 1. IgE sensitization against food allergens : Natural history, relation to airway inflammation and asthma

   Author : Antonios Patelis; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Rönmark; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergen components; extract-based; exhaled NO; airway hyperresponsiveness; blood eosinophil count; IgE sensitization; food hypersensitivity; food allergens; perennial allergens; natural history; markers of systemic inflammation; markers of local inflammation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Fysiologi; Physiology; Immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : Background: According to recent studies in children, IgE sensitization not only against perennial allergens, but also against food allergens, is related to asthma risk and increased airway inflammation. During the last decade, a new technique for IgE determination based on allergen components has become available, but its use in epidemiological studies has been limited. READ MORE

4. 2. Bystander Cells and Prognosis in Hodgkin Lymphoma

   Author : Daniel Molin; Stephen J. Proctor; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Hodgkin Lymphoma; Bystander cells; Eosinophilic granulocytes; Eosinophil cationic protein ECP ; Mast cells; Prognosis; Early and Intermediate stage; Onkologi; Hodgkin lymfom; eosinofila granulocyter; ECP; mast celler; prognos; tidiga och intermediära stadier; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

   Abstract : Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is characterised histologically by a minority of malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells surrounded by benign cells, and clinically by a relatively good prognosis. The treatment, however, leads to a risk of serious side effects. READ MORE

5. 3. Regulation of cytokine receptors and activity markers in eosinophilic inflammatory processes

   Author : Cecilia Hellman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The eosinophil is an important effector cell in allergic inflammation and asthma and an increased number of eosinophils and eosinophil-derived cytotoxic proteins have been found in blood and airways of allergic patients. The life cycle of the eosinophil starts with differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells. READ MORE

6. 4. Prediction and prevention of allergy in infants and children

   Author : Hannes Odelram; Tony Foucard; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Atopic disposition is hereditary with varying penetrance. A carefully obtained family history of atopic disease (FH) is useful as a predictor but has low sensitivity. Other tested predictors such as cord blood (CB) IgE, counts of different CB cell elements and combinations of predictors all have a similar, or even lower sensitivity and specificity. READ MORE

7. 5. The effect of common and rare variants on inflammatory traits and diseases

   Author : Julia Höglund; Åsa Johansson; Matthew Robinson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GWAS; inflammation; biomarkers; WES; WGS; NSPHS; UK Biobank; association study;

   Abstract : Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of loci associated to an immense number of traits and diseases. Most associations have been to common variants, but rare variant associations are progressively being reported. READ MORE
