  2. 6. The impact of airway-irritating exposure and wet work on subjects with allergy or other sensitivity : epidemiology and mechanisms

    Author : Pernilla Wiebert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Air pollution; allergic rhinitis; allergy; asthma; blood; carbonaceous; circulation; clearance; cohort; dermatitis; epidemiology; exposure assessment; Indium-111; inhalation; job-exposure matrix; lung; occupation; retention; Technegas generator; Technetium-99m; translocation; ultrafine particles;

    Abstract : The prevalence of asthma and allergies is increasing, which means that the proportion of workers on the labour market with allergy or other sensitivity also increases. It is as of yet not known to what extent these persons with an elevated sensitivity in the airways or the skin are affected by exposure to irritating substances at work. READ MORE

  4. 7. Ulcerative colitis : Imaging of inflammation

    Author : Sven Almer; Vibeke Binder; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflannnatory disorder of unknown origin engaging the large bowel. Based on the need for accurate assessment of inflammation, three different non-invasive techniques, two leukocyte scintigraphy techniques and one radiological method, were evaluated in the assessment of active inflammation in altogether 131 patients with ulcerative colitis.

  5. 8. The Use of Aliquat-336 in a Partitioning and Transmutation Process and a Kinetic Study of the Oxidation of U(IV) to U(VI)

    Author : Anders Landgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; partitioning; quaternary ammonium salts; transmutation; hydrolysis; Aliquat-336; liquid-liquid extraction; kinetics; oxidation; uranium IV ;

    Abstract : Spent nuclear fuel contains several long-lived radionuclides that must be stored in a safe manner for a long time. Transmutation of these radionuclides into short-lived or stable nuclides reduces the necessary storage time by several orders of magnitude. The nuclides most suitable for transmutation are those of the actinides. READ MORE
