Schmekel, B, Håkansson, L, Hällgren, R, Nou, E, Stålenheim, G, Venge, P
The phagocytic and complement receptor function of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) from patients with sarcoidosis was studied using a kinetic assay which allows the distinction to be made between...

An investigation was performed to determine whether symptom free patients with previously diagnosed extrinsic allergic alveolitis had signs of inflammation in the lung. Pulmonary clearance of inhaled...
Difference in pulmonary absorption of inhaled terbutaline in healthy smokers and non-smokers.
Schmekel, B, Borgström, L, Wollmer, P
Pathophysiological studies have shown that the alveolocapillary transfer of small solutes is much faster in healthy smokers than in non-smokers. The effects of smoking on the pulmonary absorption of...
Integrity of the alveolar-capillary barrier and alveolar surfactant system in smokers.
Schmekel, B, Bos, J A, Khan, A R, Wohlfart, B, Lachmann, B, Wollmer, P
BACKGROUND: The permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier to technetium-99m labelled diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (99mTc DTPA) is known to be greatly increased in smokers, but the underlying...
