  1. 1. Genetic factors affecting pregnancy duration in humans

    Författare :Jonas Bacelis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genomics; GWAS; Mendelian randomization; causal inference; preterm birth; pregnancy; gestation; height; text mining;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the mechanisms behind human pregnancy duration. Too short gestation is a direct cause of perinatal, neonatal, and infant mortality. Deviation from normal pregnancy length is also associated with a child's morbidity, even in the adulthood. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biomarkers in mid-trimester amniotic fluid in relation to gestational duration and spontaneous preterm delivery

    Författare :Maria Hallingström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amniotic fluid; biomarkers; cytokine; damage-associated molecular pattern; gestation; gestational duration; inflammation; labor; mid-trimester; multiplex; pregnancy clock; proteins; spontaneous preterm delivery; term delivery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The biological mechanisms and physiological pathways of pregnancy maintenance and timing of delivery are complex and multifactorial. Pregnancy clocks, partly controlled by timing mechanisms linked to fetal development, which regulate the onset of labor has previously been described. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Gestational Islet Autoimmunity, Infections, and Type 1 Diabetes

    Författare :Maria Elfving; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gestation; Enterovirus infection; Pediatri; Pediatrics; Children; Type 1 diabetes; Islet autoantibodies;

    Sammanfattning : The intention of this thesis was to investigate autoimmune markers for type 1 diabetes, together with signs of enterovirus infections during the pre- and perinatal period of life, and their possible association with the development of diabetes during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. We found that: 1. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Retinopathy of Prematurity in Infants Born Before 27 Weeks of Gestation : A National Population-based Study in Sweden During 2004-2007

    Författare :Dordi Austeng; Gerd E. Holmström; Karin B.M. Källen; Uwe W. Ewald; Olav Haugen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinopathy of prematurity; extremely preterm; population-based; epidemiology; treatment; natural history; screening; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik; Pediatrics; Pediatrik; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Improved neonatal care has resulted in an increasing population of surviving infants. Neonatal morbidity in preterm infants is, however, high, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the major neonatal morbidities. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Fetal hematopoietic cells in early gestation : aspects in view of fetal transplantation

    Författare :Sverker Ek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fetal stem cells; fetal liver; fetal hematopoiesis; immunological ontogeny; fetal transplantation; cytokines; CD34 enrichment;

    Sammanfattning : The fetus as a patient is a challenge. There are opportunities for early, sometimes life-saving procedures or there may be advantages in prenatal rather than postnatal intervention. This is the case in fetal hematopoietic cell (FHC) transplantation where conditions caused by a defect in blood cell formation may be life-threatening to the fetus. LÄS MER
