1. Promoting health in premature infants : with special focus on skin-to-skin contact and development of valid pain assesment
Sammanfattning : Premature infants are at greater risk for both short- and long-term negative outcomes than infants born at full term. Premature infants have an immature nervous system and are not developmentally prepared to process the often excessive stimuli and frequent painful procedures of intensive care. LÄS MER
2. Bladder function in infants. A urodynamic and radiologic study
Sammanfattning : Objective: The aims of the present study were to establish a reference for urodynamics in infancy, to study the urodynamic pattern of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) and of infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux (reflux), and to evaluate if bladder dysfunction was occurring in these conditions. In addition, the possibilities to identify bladder instability in infants at voiding cystourethrography (VCU) were evaluated. LÄS MER
3. Pharmacometric Models for Antibacterial Agents to Improve Dosing Strategies
Sammanfattning : Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs. Although the majority of these drugs were developed several decades ago, optimal dosage (dose, dosing interval and treatment duration) have still not been well defined. LÄS MER
4. Premedication for intubation in newborn infants; pain assessment, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Sammanfattning : Preterm infants undergo intensive care during a vulnerable period with hemodynamic instability and a rapidly developing and immature CNS. Adequate pain management is essential, since pain experience might lead to acute physiological reactions as well as neurological and neuropsychological sequels. LÄS MER
5. Hyperglycemia, nutrition and health outcomes in preterm infants
Sammanfattning : BackgroundSurvival among very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely preterm (EPT) infants has increased markedly during the last decades. Neonatal hyperglycemia is common in these infants and is known to be associated with adverse outcomes. LÄS MER
