2. 1. Contact allergy to fragrances with a focus on oak moss absolute

   Author : Martin Mowitz; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; contact allergy; allergic contact dermatitis; fragrance; patch test; repeated open application test;

   Abstract : The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. READ MORE

4. 2. Clinical and experimental studies in nickel allergy

   Author : Monica Hindsén; Dermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nickel absorption; Nickel; allergic contact dermatitis; patch test reactivity; flare-up reactions; oral nickel provocation; previous contact dermatitis; hand eczema; atopy; Dermatology; venereology; Dermatologi; venereologi;

   Abstract : Kliniska och experimentella studier av nickelallergi Nickelallergi är vanligt, särskilt hos kvinnor. Nickelallergi leder ofta till periodiskt eller kroniskt eksem, främst på händerna. Dessa eksem kan vara svårläkta och leda till långa sjukskrivningsperioder. READ MORE

5. 3. Atopic dermatitis in adults: prognosis and factors of importance for persistence

   Author : Mari Helen Sandström Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atopic dermatitis; adults; prognosis; prognostic factors; Malassezia; atopu patch test; skin prick test; IgE; prevalence; severity; locations;

   Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease with multifactorial aetiology. Elevatedlevels of serum IgE are common in AD patients and IgE antibodies to the yeast Malassezia, amember of the cutaneous microflora, are also common. READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical and experimental studies on oxidized fragrance terpenes as contact allergens

   Author : Johanna Bråred Christensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : autoxidation; contact allergy; limonene; linalool; colophonium; limonene-1-hydroperoxide; limonene-2-hydroperoxide; 15-hydroperoxyabietic acid; 15-HPA; terpenes; local lymph node assay; LLNA; Freunds complete adjuvant test; FCAT; patch testing; laser Doppler imaging; skin irritation; visual reading;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis aims to improve the possibilities for diagnosing contact allergy to oxidized limonene and linalool and to, in patients, study contact allergy from structurally closely related hydroperoxides with regard to their specificity, potency and cross-reactivity. The fragrance terpenes limonene (from citrus oil) and linalool (from lavender oil) are widely used in household and industrial products. READ MORE

7. 5. Experimental and Clinical Studies on Contact Allergy to Diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate and Related Substances

   Author : Haneen Hamada; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : 4; 4′-MDI; freund s complete adjuvant; Guinea pig maximization test; 4; 4 -MDA; 4; 4 -DMDA; 4; 4 -DMDI; PPD; p-phenylenediamine; 2; 4-TDI; Toluene diisocyanate; trimer; FCA; Cross-reactivity; dermal uptake; contact allergy; contact dermatitis;

   Abstract : The exposure to isocyanates is more of an occupational problem than a consumer problem. The main route of exposure is assumed to be through inhalation. Isocyanates that have high vapor pressure, such as TDI, can be airborne at room temperature. Other isocyanates such as MDI are volatile only when heated. READ MORE
