What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Immune system
- Disease
Bengt Björkstén focuses on Allergy, Immunology, Asthma, Atopy and Pediatrics.
The concepts of his Allergy study are interwoven with issues in Bacteroides, Cross-sectional study and Internal medicine, Disease, Family history.
The Asthma study combines topics in areas such as Global health and El Niño.
The various areas that Bengt Björkstén examines in his El Niño study include Respiratory sounds and Epidemiology.
His studies deal with areas such as Odds ratio, Dander, Egg white, Sensitization and Atopic dermatitis as well as Atopy.
His research in Pediatrics intersects with topics in Prevalence, Environmental health, Wheeze and Risk factor.
His most cited work include:
- Worldwide time trends in the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema in childhood: ISAAC Phases One and Three repeat multicountry cross-sectional surveys (2932 citations)
- Allergy development and the intestinal microflora during the first year of life (991 citations)
- The intestinal microflora in allergic Estonian and Swedish 2-year-old children. (820 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Allergy, Atopy, Asthma and Pediatrics.
His work in Immunoglobulin E, Immune system, Allergen, Antibody and Gut flora is related to Immunology.
His work carried out in the field of Allergy brings together such families of science as Epidemiology, El Niño, Sensitization, Immunopathology and Atopic dermatitis.
In his research, Colostrum is intimately related to Breast feeding, which falls under the overarching field of Atopy.
His Asthma research integrates issues from Hypertonic saline, Respiratory disease, Bronchial hyperresponsiveness and Prevalence.
His Pediatrics research includes elements of Odds ratio, Provocation test, Disease and Risk factor.
He most often published in these fields:
- Immunology (65.99%)
- Allergy (64.31%)
- Atopy (35.02%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?
- Immunology (65.99%)
- Allergy (64.31%)
- Gut flora (10.77%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Bengt Björkstén mostly deals with Immunology, Allergy, Gut flora, Asthma and Immune system.
His research integrates issues of Lactobacillus reuteri, Pregnancy and Disease in his study of Immunology.
Particularly relevant to Atopy is his body of work in Allergy.
Bengt Björkstén combines subjects such as Feces and Immunoglobulin A with his study of Gut flora.
His Asthma research incorporates themes from Socioeconomic status, Epidemiology and Pediatrics.
His El Niño study in the realm of Pediatrics connects with subjects such as Association.
Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Decreased gut microbiota diversity, delayed Bacteroidetes colonisation and reduced Th1 responses in infants delivered by Caesarean section (531 citations)
- Decreased gut microbiota diversity, delayed Bacteroidetes colonisation and reduced Th1 responses in infants delivered by Caesarean section (531 citations)
- Low diversity of the gut microbiota in infants with atopic eczema (489 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Immune system
- Disease
Bengt Björkstén spends much of his time researching Asthma, Immunology, Allergy, Gut flora and Pediatrics.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Asthma, concentrating on Epidemiology and intersecting with Physical examination, Symptom prevalence, Surgery and Public health.
His Allergy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in El Niño, Immunopathology and Sensitization.
His studies in Gut flora integrate themes in fields like Hygiene hypothesis, Immune system and Immunity.
His work in the fields of Immune system, such as Th1 response, intersects with other areas such as Bacteroidetes.
As part of one scientific family, Bengt Björkstén deals mainly with the area of Pediatrics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Disease, and often Wheeze, Chemokine and In vivo.
