  1. 6. Mediators of cervical ripening in preterm birth : experimental and clinical investigations

    Författare :Susanne Abelin Törnblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervix; preterm; cervical ripening; cytokines; chemokines; cyclooxygenase COX ; prostaglandin dehydrogenase PGDH ; induction; labour; nitric oxide; PgE2-gel; pregnancy; preterm labour;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is by far the leading worldwide cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Despite decades of research, the frequency of PTB has not decreased and the basic mechanisms initiating the onset of labour are still poorly understood. Vaginal preterm birth cannot take place without cervical softening and remodelling. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Preterm birth and allergic disease

    Författare :Niki Mitselou; Jonas Ludvigsson; Erik Melén; Kari Christine Nadeau; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allergen-specific immunotherapy; allergic rhinitis; caesarean delivery; epidemiology; preterm birth; sensitization; paediatrics; pregnancy;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases are very common in children and young adults, while there is an ongoing interest worldwide in exploring the early origins of these conditions. The perinatal period is considered crucial as it encompasses the maturation of gut microbiota and the establishment of an efficient immunoregulation. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Nitric oxide donors in labor management

    Författare :Maria Bullarbo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical ripening; labor induction; nitric oxide donor; retained placenta;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Nitric oxide donors in labor management Maria Bullarbo Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute of Clinical Sciences Background: Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical with ultra-short half-life synthesized from L- arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), is in the human involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, including different reproductive processes. During pregnancy NO is produced endogenously in the human uterine cervix and placenta. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Mode of delivery, epigenetic modulation and immune cell formation at birth

    Författare :Titus Schlinzig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Birth by Cesarean section (CS) has been associated with a greater risk for immune disorders like allergy, asthma, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, and cancer later in life. Although elective CS continues to increase rapidly, it is unclear if and how it may contribute to future health and disease. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Inequalities in health : social, biological, ethnic and life-course perspectives

    Författare :Amal R Khanolkar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : There is an unmistakable consistency in differences in risks for morbidity and mortality between social groups. The more advantaged, whether measured in terms of income, education, class, status or ethnicity in general fare better when compared to others, emphasizing the importance of the social environment in determining health in all stages of life.
