1. 21. Initiation of ventilation, surfactant treatment, and lung function after preterm birth

   Författare :Lars Björklund; Lund Pediatrik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiration; Artificial; Pediatrics; Pediatri; Respiratory Function Tests; Pulmonary Surfactants; Newborn; Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Infant; Premature; Animals;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis investigates lung function and the effects of rescue surfactant treatment in mechanically ventilated preterm human infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and the effects of ventilation at birth on the response to surfactant supplementation in preterm lambs. To assess lung function, the author recorded static pressure-volume (P-V) curves during passive deflation from total lung capacity (TLC) to ambient pressure and measured end-expiratory lung volume (FRC) during mechanical ventilation by tracer gas washout.

3. 22. Early detection of critical congenital heart defects in Sweden - with a focus on coarctation of the aorta

   Författare :Katarina Lannering; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; critical congenital heart defect; coarctation of the aorta; newborn; early detection; screening;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Despite the implementation of prenatal and neonatal screening, newborn infants with critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) remain at risk of being discharged undiagnosed, particularly newborns with coarcation of the aorta (CoA). Recent studies have suggested that perfusion index (PI) may potentially identify additional cases of CoA. LÄS MER

4. 23. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Antibiotics and Bacterial Drug Resistance

   Författare :Ami Fazlin Syed Mohamed; Lena Friberg; Teresa Dalla Costa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; modeling; antibiotics; resistance; combination; Gram-negative bacteria; gentamicin; colistin; meropenem; newborn infants; critically ill patients; Infectious Diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Exposure to antibiotics is an important factor influencing the development of bacterial resistance.  In an era where very few new antibiotics are being developed, a strategy for the development of optimal dosing regimen and combination treatment that reduces the rate of resistance development and overcome existing resistance is of utmost importance.

5. 24. Surviving birth : Studies of a simplified neonatal resuscitation protocol in a low-income context using a mixed-methods approach

   Sammanfattning : United Nations has lately stated ambitious health targets for 2030 in the Sustainable Development Goal agenda, following the already achieved progress between 1990 and 2015 when the number of children dying before the age of five was reduced by more than half. However, the mortality reduction in the first month of life after birth has not kept the same pace. LÄS MER
