   Sammanfattning : After the 1994 genocide and collapse of the health system, Rwanda initiated major social and health reforms in order to reduce child mortality and health inequities in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals. The aim of this thesis was to assess trends in under-five mortality (U5M) and equity in child survival, to study social barriers for improved perinatal and neonatal survival, and to evaluate Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), a newborn resuscitation program.

   Nyckelord :respiration; interleukin-1Beta; prostaglandin E2; newborns; rodents; brainstem;

   Sammanfattning : The breathing pattern of infants, particularly preterm infants, is often irregular or periodic and is frequently interrupted by apnea. The latter represents a major concern in haematology, yet much remains unknown about its incidence, appearance, and pathophysiology. LÄS MER

4. 13. Newborn respiratory support using distending pressure : the effect of interfaces and system design on performance and outcome

   Författare :Sonja Baldursdottir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Preterm infants often require respiratory support after birth due to lung immaturity. The preferred method of providing respiratory support to breathing infants in respiratory distress is non-invasively with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). LÄS MER
