1. Hormones and fluid balance during pregnancy, labor and post partum
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to determine any association between plasma oxytocin and vasopressin concentrations and renal water and sodium excretion during normal pregnancy. In addition to investigate changes in concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, oxytocin, cortisol, and glucose in the blood before and in the nearest hours after delivery and if treatment with oxytocin affected these concentrations and the fluid balance during the different stages of labour.

2. Maternal deaths in Mozambique : an audit approach with special reference to adolescence, abortion and violence
Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the present thesis was to elucidate the causes and circumstances that surround maternal deaths occurring in Hospital Central de Maputo (HCM). The specific aims were 1: to identify the major causes of direct and indirect matemal deaths, and by utilizing the audit approach, to address the avoidability aspect in each case, 2: to estimate the contribution of malaria to matemal mortality, 3: to compare the main causes of direct and indirect matemal death in adolescents with those in non-adolescents, and the prevalence of risk factors used in antenatal cards with the intention to identify "high risk pregnancy" among such women, 4: to review pregnancy-related deaths due to injuries in HCM, and to elucidate the contribution of violence (homicide and suicide) to these deaths, 5: to estimate the trends of matemal mortality in a ten year period, with special reference to adolescents, and to compare the contribution of induced abortion to matemal mortality in two periods in which different policies regarding abortion were applied.

3. Preeclampsia and other circulatory diseases during pregnancy : etiological aspects and impact on female offspring
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to investigate and compare environmental effects on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension; to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental effects on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension; to assess the effect of childbearing on the risk of circulatory diseases; and to explore the effect of preeclampsia on the female offspring anthropometry in early adulthood. We used the Swedish Birth Register to compare the effect of maternal diabetes, multiple birth, smoking, place of birth and obesity, on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension among 10,666 primiparous women.

4. Genetic epidemiological studies of adverse pregnancy outcomes and the role of schizophrenia
Sammanfattning : The purposes of this thesis were to investigate the importance of genetic and environmental factors in the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes and to investigate the role of schizophrenia as a risk factor for and a consequence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. In the first study we investigated the importance of genetic and environmental factors for pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension and whether the diseases share genetic etiology. LÄS MER
