  2. 11. Airway responsiveness and exhaled nitric oxide : Studies in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome

    Author : Dóra Lúðvíksdóttir; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Airway hyperresponsiveness; nitric oxide; airway inflammation; Sjögren s syndrome; asthma; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : In this thesis, four different types of provocation agents: methacholine, adenosine, cold air and mannitol were used to study different aspects of the airway responsiveness profile in asthma and Sjögren's syndrome. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and markers of eosinophil activation, serum eosinophil peroxidase (S-EPO) and eosinophil cationic protein (S-ECP) were measured. READ MORE

  4. 12. Exhaled nitric oxide in schoolchildren with asthma

    Author : Christophe Pedroletti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Asthma; rhinitis; children; nitric oxide; allergen provocation; steroids.;

    Abstract : Background: The fraction of nitric oxide in exhaled air (FENO) is believed to reflect the degree of allergic inflammation present in the lower airways. The diffusing capacity of NO in the airways (DawNO) and the concentration of this gas in the airway wall (FawNO) can be evaluated by determining FENO with different exhalation flow-rates. READ MORE

  5. 13. Exploring small airways using breath analyses

    Author : Emilia Viklund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; exhaled particles; small airways; alveolar nitric oxide; SARS-CoV-2; birch pollen; smoking; lining fluid;

    Abstract : Background: Airway irritants such as allergens, tobacco smoke and viruses may cause damage in the small airways, usually undetected with routine diagnostic methods. Analyses of endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) and endogenously produced small droplets (i.e. READ MORE

  6. 14. Nitric oxide in exhaled gas : studies on physiological regulation and measurements in infants and children

    Author : Andreas Artlich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenaline; adrenoceptor; artificial ventilation; asthma; carbon dioxide; catecholamines; chemiluminescence; child; cilia; exhaled gas; focal adhesion complex; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; lung; mechanotransduction; newborn; nitric oxide; glucocorticosteroids; stretch;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is found in the exhaled gas of humans, starting from birth, and is increased in adult patients with bronchial asthma. This study assessed whether the measurement of NO in exhaled gas is technically feasible in infants and children. READ MORE

  7. 15. Distribution and Effects of NO and CO in the Human Upper Respiratory Tract

    Author : Jens Andersson; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; transplantation; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; serologi; Immunologi; serology; Otorhinolaryngology; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; Immunology; sinus; upper respiratory tract infection; nose; nitric oxide; neutrophil migration; middle ear; hemin; flow cytometry; allergy; carbon monoxide;

    Abstract : Mucosal inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are regulated by hundreds of different mediators. The recent discovery of gaseous mediators, produced and active within the airways, opens new possibilities for identification of therapeutic targets and ways to monitor airway inflammation. READ MORE
