  2. 16. Endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoid effects in a model of allergic airway inflammation

    Author : Susanna Kumlien Georén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Airway; allergy; asthma; eosinophil; glucocorticoids; hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal HPA axis; inflammation; nerve growth factor NGF ; neuroimmunology; psychoneuroimmunology; restraint; stress;

    Abstract : Allergic asthma and rhinitis are inflammatory diseases of the airways. Allergic asthma is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation, reversible bronchoconstriction and airway hyperresponsiveness, whereas patients with rhinitis suffer from nasal inflammation, leading to rhinorrhea and nasal congestion.

  4. 17. Recombinant cat and mite allergens as tools in the study of diagnosis and treatment of allergy

    Author : Tiiu Saarne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema, are a major health problem world-wide, affecting up to 30% of the population. A large proportion of the patients are allergic to indoor allergens, such as mite and cat allergens, which are airborne and thus cause symptoms in the airways upon inhalation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Nasal and bronchial testing as well as treatment of patients with airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation focusing on the united airway concept

    Author : Anders Ehnhage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and asthma is a global health problem on the increase that causes major illness and disability worldwide, and also results in a large financial burden on society.

  6. 19. 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

  7. 20. Stress, sleep, and allergy

    Author : Susanna Jernelöv; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases have recently increased dramatically in the western world, now affecting about 30% of the Swedish population. The reasons for this increase are unclear, but some of the suspects are behavioral factors, such as stress and sleep. READ MORE
