A 14-year prospective study of autonomic nerve function in Type 1 diabetic patients: association with nephropathy. (2004)

Forsén, A, Kangro, M, Sterner, G, Norrgren, K, Thorsson, O, Wollmer, P, ...

Aims Prospective studies of autonomic nerve function are rare. We have followed the progression of autonomic dysfunction in relation to nephropathy over 14 years in Type 1 diabetic patients. Methods...

Lung function, insulin resistance and incidence of cardiovascular disease: a longitudinal cohort study. (2003)

Engström, G, Hedblad, B, Nilsson, P, Wollmer, P, Berglund, G, Janzon, L

Objectives. To explore whether a reduced lung function is a risk factor for developing diabetes and insulin resistance (IR), and whether such relationship contributes to the largely unexplained...

Kinetics of lung clearance of 99mTc-DTPA in smoking patients with sarcoidosis compared to healthy smokers. (2002)

Brådvik, I, Wollmer, P, Evander, E, LárusdÓttir, H, Blom-Bülow, B, Jonson, B

Investigation of lung clearance of 99mTc-labelled diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) in smoking sarcoid patients has been impeded by difficulties to differ between pathology of clearance...

Lung function and cardiovascular risk: relationship with inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins. (2002)

Engström, G, Lind, P, Hedblad, B, Wollmer, P, Stavenow, L, Janzon, L, ...

Background— The inverse relationship between pulmonary function and incidence of cardiovascular disease remains largely unexplained. This prospective study explored the hypothesis of a relationship...

Early pulmonary disease in systemic sclerosis: a comparison between carbon monoxide transfer factor and static lung compliance.

Scheja, A, Akesson, A, Wollmer, P, Wollheim, F A

OBJECTIVES--Pulmonary disease is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Static lung compliance (Cst) has been observed to be decreased more often in SSc...

Regional extravascular density and fractional blood volume of the lung in interstitial disease.

Wollmer, P, Rhodes, C G, Hughes, J M

Regional lung density (g lung/ml thoracic volume) and fractional pulmonary blood volume (ml blood/ml thoracic volume) have been measured by positron tomography in 10 patients with interstitial...

Transfer of 99mTc DTPA and bronchoalveolar lavage findings in patients with asymptomatic extrinsic allergic alveolitis.

Schmekel, B, Wollmer, P, Venge, P, Linden, M, Blom-Bülow, B

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...

Clearance of 99mTc DTPA from guinea pig nasal, tracheobronchial, and bronchoalveolar airways.

Greiff, L, Wollmer, P, Erjefält, I, Pipkorn, U, Persson, C G

Technetium-99m labelled diethylenetriamine penta-acetate (99mTc-DTPA) was used to compare small solute absorption (clearance) from nasal, tracheobronchial, and bronchoalveolar airways in...

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...

Absorption of 51Cr EDTA across the human nasal airway barriers in the presence of topical histamine.

Greiff, L, Wollmer, P, Pipkorn, U, Persson, C G

Whether histamine, a mediator that causes exudation, affects the airway absorption of luminal solutes has been examined in a study of eight healthy volunteers. Fluid containing the absorption tracer...

Effects of histamine, ethanol, and a detergent on exudation and absorption across guinea pig airway mucosa in vivo.

Greiff, L, Erjefält, I, Wollmer, P, Pipkorn, U, Persson, C G

This study examined effects of three substances that cause mucosal provocation (histamine, ethanol, and the detergent dioctylsodium sulphosuccinate (DOSS] on the flux of solutes across airway...

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...

Effect of seasonal allergic rhinitis on airway mucosal absorption of chromium-51 labelled EDTA.

Greiff, L, Wollmer, P, Svensson, C, Andersson, M, Persson, C G

BACKGROUND--Hyperpermeability of the airway mucosa is thought to be characteristic of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Nine subjects with seasonal rhinitis caused by birch pollen were studied and the...

Effects of nicotine on the human nasal mucosa.

Greiff, L, Wollmer, P, Erjefält, I, Andersson, M, Pipkorn, U, Persson, C G

BACKGROUND--Topical application of nicotine and stimulation of tachykinin containing sensory nerves have been shown to produce mucosal exudation of plasma and derangement of the epithelial lining in...

Microvascular exudative hyperresponsiveness in human coronavirus-induced common cold.

Greiff, L, Andersson, M, Akerlund, A, Wollmer, P, Svensson, C, Alkner, U, ...

BACKGROUND--The inflammatory response of the airway microcirculation in rhinitis and asthma may be recorded as luminal entry of plasma macromolecules (mucosal exudation). This study examines the...

Effect of detergent on alveolar particle clearance due to large tidal ventilation.

John, J, Wollmer, P, Dahlbäck, M, Jonson, B

BACKGROUND--It has recently been shown that large tidal volume ventilation accelerates the alveolar clearance of insoluble particles and this may be related to accelerated surfactant evacuation from...

Relation between lung function, exercise capacity, and exposure to asbestos cement.

Wollmer, P, Eriksson, L, Jonson, B, Jakobsson, K, Albin, M, Skerfving, S, ...

A group of 137 male workers with known exposure (mean 20 fibre years per millilitre) to asbestos cement who had symptoms or signs of pulmonary disease was studied together with a reference group of...

Demonstration of bronchial eosinophil activity in seasonal allergic rhinitis by induced plasma exudation combined with induced sputum

Greiff, L., Andersson, M., Svensson, C., Linden, M., Wollmer, P., Persson, C.

BACKGROUND—Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis may develop bronchial hyperresponsiveness during the active disease period. Eosinophil activation may occur in the bronchial mucosa and may be...
