    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Personality; Cognition; Emotions; Deconditioning; Amygdala; Temporal lobes; Carbon dioxide; Meditation; Respiration; Meta-analysis; Theology; Teologi;

    Abstract : Two assertions made by the Eastern meditation traditions were investigated: (a) breath regulation is a prerequisite for attaining altered states of consciousness, (b) meditation leads to changes in cognitive processes and in personality. A deconditioning process was conceptualized involving the temporal lobes and the amygdala. READ MORE

  4. 17. Non-invasive analysis of leukotrienes as biomarkers of airway inflammation : method development and clinical applications

    Author : Flora Gaber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Airway inflammation; aspirin-intolerant asthma; biomarker; exhaled breath condensate; FENO; induced sputum; leukotrienes; 5-lipoxygenase; non-invasive analysis; saliva;

    Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common diseases characterized by chronic airway inflammation, but the inflammation in asthma is different from the one in COPD. In addition, asthma is a heterogeneous disease presenting with many different phenotypes (e.g. READ MORE
