All infants were scheduled for seven visits to the hospital for follow-up. LÄS MER

4. 8. Enterovirus Infections of β-Cells : A Mechanism of Induction of Type 1 Diabetes?

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; enterovirus; type 1 diabetes; β-cells; human pancreatic islets; picornavirus; chemokines; nitric oxide; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

   Sammanfattning : The process of β-cell destruction that leads to type 1 diabetes (T1D) is incompletely understood and it is believed to be a result of both genetic and environmental factors. Enterovirus (EV) infections of the β-cells have been proposed to be involved, however, the effects of EV infections on human β-cells have been little investigated. LÄS MER

5. 9. Assessing eczema and food allergy in young children

   Sammanfattning : Background: Atopic disease is an increasing problem. Eczema affects 10-20% of young children, and 33-37% of children with eczema are food allergic. Among other factors, nitric oxide (NO) is thought to play a role in eczema and food allergy. LÄS MER

7. 10. Perinatal Energy Substrate Metabolism : Glucose Production and Lipolysis in Pregnant Women and Newborn Infants with Particular Reference to Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

   Författare :Barbro Diderholm; Jan Gustafsson; Uwe Ewald; Olle Söder; Uppsala universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Glucose is the most important fetal nutrient and the production of this substrate increases in the pregnant woman. In the last trimester the increased insulin resistance directs energy substrates to the fetus. Fetal growth is sometimes disturbed, often without an obvious explanation. LÄS MER
