Symptoms and aspects on eosinophil activity in allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is a major atopic disease. Even if much is known about the pathophysiology of this condition, and despite the fact that good treatments are available, there is a need for new treatment options, particularly for such aiming at new targets and reduced side effects. Recruitment and …

Optimizing The Nasal Allergen Challenge Model For The Study Of Allergic Rhinitis
Background The Allergic Rhinitis Clinical Investigator Collaborative (AR-CIC) uses a Nasal Allergen Challenge (NAC) model to study the pathophysiology of AR and provides proof of concept for novel therapeutics. The NAC model needs to ensure optimal participant qualification, allergen challenge, …

Allergen wheal area during early childhood predicts allergic rhinitis phenotypes at age four
<p>Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated disease of the upper respiratory tract characterized by symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, itching, and sneezing in response to allergen exposure. Allergic rhinitis is common in childhood, affecting 42% of six year old children, and is associated …

Correlation between Locally Produced Specific IgA and Eosinophil Cationic Protein in Nasal Lavage Fluids of Allergic Rhinitis Patients during Allergen Provocation Tests
… are the major effector cells in nasal allergic inflammation. However, the mechanism of eosinophil activation mediated by a series of inflammatory mediators presenting in early and late responses of allergic rhinitis (AR) is not fully understood. Objective: The aim of this study was to …

Soluble C-Kit Receptor Level May Be a Serological Marker for Predicting the Extent of Upper and Lower Airway Inflammation
BACKGROUND: It is known that allergic rhinitis could progress to asthma. Both allergic rhinitis and asthma are characterized by a Th2-dependent inflammation composing activated mast cells and eosinophils. Mast cell development and survival is dependent on the Kit-mediated activation and this stem …

Development of machine learning algorithms for screening of pulmonary disease
… patients (135 healthy, 76 asthma, 46 COPD, 29 allergic rhinitis, and 39 other). Among the asthma and COPD patients, 67 had allergic rhinitis. All patients were examined using a mobile diagnostic kit designed at MIT consisting of a mobile stethoscope, peak flow meter, and questionnaire. All …

Traffic pollution and chronic respiratory disease. Epidemiological studies in children and adults in southern Sweden.
… close to dense traffic had higher prevalence of allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema but not non-allergic asthma or rhinitis. Paper 3 found that asthma in adults was associated with dense traffic at the home location but not traffic at the work location, daily time spent outdoor in …

New Mediators and Novel Mechanisms in Allergic Airway Inflammation
… are major pathophysiological features of both allergic rhinitis and asthma. The mechanisms behind these are not fully understood. The aims of this thesis were to investigate if cytokines involved in the allergic response can induce airway hyperreactivity by affecting the airway smooth muscle …

Role of Toll-like receptors in airway inflammation
… emphasis on recurrent tonsillar infection and allergic rhinitis. We also sought to map cellular and molecular changes occurring as a result of allergen-specific immunotherapy. In the first two studies, a distinct expression of TLRs was demonstrated in subsets of B and T lymphocytes isolated …
