  2. 21. Virus inactivation : evaluation of processes used in biowaste management

    Author : Eva Emmoth; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Animal by-products (ABP) Category 3 includes hatchery waste, and also slaughterhouse waste and manure, aimed for use in biogas production. In order to be used as fertilisers, they must be sanitised to reduce pathogenic microorganisms. The initial European regulations regarding processing standards for ABP intended for use in e.g. READ MORE

  4. 22. The effect of beta2-adrenoceptor agonists and steroids on induced airway inflammation and bronchial responsiveness

    Author : Karin Strandberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute exposure of healthy subjects in a swine barn induces an intense airway inflammation and increased bronchial responsiveness. Dust collected in swine houses is a potent stimulus for release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from cells in vitro. READ MORE

  5. 23. Optimizing and evaluation of a methacholine provocation test : with application in occupational research

    Author : Britt-Marie Sundblad; Bengt-Eric Skoogh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Airway responsiveness; methacholine provocation; nitric oxide; eucapnic hyperventilation; organic dust; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Abstract : We have developed a methacholine provocation method, which detects bronchial responsiveness in more than 80% of healthy subjects. The method enables us to detect differences in bronchial responsiveness within the normal range. With this method FEV1 and Gaw had similar sensitivity in detecting small differences in bronchial responsiveness. READ MORE

  6. 24. Veterinary Herd Health Management in Ugandan smallholder pig farms

    Author : Elin Gertzell; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Animal health research often focus on single, specific diseases such as e.g. African swine fever. However, animal health usually depends on multiple factors. READ MORE

  7. 25. Organic dust-induced signaling in human pulmonary epithelial cells : emphasis on effects of cAMP modulation

    Author : Karin Burvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To study signaling transductions in innate immunity a model system was applied where A549 alveolar epithelial type II cells were used as target and organic dust collected in swine confinement buildings as stimulus. The dust represents a complex mixture of feed and faecal particles, dander from swine, bacteria (whole bacteria and cell wall components) and fungi. READ MORE
