  2. 1. Proteomics in Nasal Lavage Fluids from Persulfate Challenged Hairdressers

    Author : Harriet Mörtstedt; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nasal lavage fluid; selected reaction monitoring; persulfate; hairdresser; proteomics; oxidation; mass spectrometry; iTRAQ;

    Abstract : Hairdressers have an increased risk for developing airway symptoms e.g. asthma and rhinitis. Persulfate salts, which are oxidizing agents present in bleaching powder, are considered to be important causal agents for these symptoms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nasal reactions and the school environment : Nasal patency and lavage biomarkers in relation to ventilation, cleaning and some indoor air pollutants

    Author : Robert Wålinder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; acoustic rhinometry; enviromnental illness; eosinophil cationic protein ECP ; formaldehyde; lysozyme; mold; nasallavage; nasal obstruction; N02; rhinitis; school; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; arbets- och miljömedicin; Occupational and Environmental Medicine;

    Abstract : In Sweden, 2 million persons are exposed to the school environment, and there has been reports on insufficient cleaning, and inadequate ventilation. The nasal mucosa is more easy to study than the lower airways, and rhinitis is common and possibly related to asthma. READ MORE

  5. 3. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Epidemiological and Pan-airway Aspects

    Author : Ulf Nihlén; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiratory system; spirometry; nasal polyposis; nasal symptoms; prevalence; incidence; coronary heart disease; alcohol; airways; COPD; FEV1; Andningsorganen;

    Abstract : Background – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, there is little information on the prevalence and particularly on the incidence of COPD. READ MORE

  6. 4. Protein Modifications by Low Molecular Weight Chemicals Inducing Airways Diseases

    Author : Marina Jeppsson; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MSight; hemoglobin human serum albumin; nasal lavage; acrylates; organic acid anhydrides; persulfate; biomarkers adducts; mass spectrometry; MoDetect;

    Abstract : Airways diseases are one of the most common health effects in the western world today. It has been shown that low molecular weight chemicals (LMWC) can cause airways diseases. The mechanisms for these diseases are not well known in most cases. Also, methods for biological monitoring of exposure are not available for many of these LMWC. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protein adducts of hexahydrophthalic anhydride- chemical structures and biomarkers

    Author : Monica Kåredal; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; industrial medicine; Occupational health; nasal lavage; mass spectrometry; biomarker; human serum albumin; hemoglobin; Hexahydrophthalic anhydride; adducts;

    Abstract : Organic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are low molecular weight chemicals used in the industry for manufacturing of plastics such as epoxy resins. Exposure to these chemicals may lead to symptoms from the eyes and the respiratory tract in form of conjunctivitis, rhinitis and asthma. READ MORE
