1. 16. Mechanisms of malignant and non-malignant angiogenesis using zebrafish models

   Författare :Lasse Dahl Ejby Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Pathological angiogenesis significantly contribute to the onset, development and progression of most common and severe human diseases including cancer, metastatic disease, cardiovascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. Under these pathological conditions, tissue hypoxia often acts as a trigger to switch on angiogenesis. LÄS MER

3. 17. Born Near the Limit of Viability : Developmental Outcomes 2.5 Years Later

   Författare :Johanna Månsson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sex differences; neonatal morbidity; CBCL 1½ -5; Bayley-III; Extremely preterm; Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study; developmental outcome; preschool age;

   Sammanfattning : Although advances in neonatal care have resulted in increased survival rates among extremely preterm infants (born < 28 gestational weeks), they still face substantial morbidity risks during the neonatal period. The question of possible later outcomes is a key issue faced by health care professionals working with these infants. LÄS MER

4. 18. Risk and resilience in children born preterm : cognitive and executive functioning at 5 1/2 years of age

   Författare :Birgitta Böhm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Preterm birth; intelligence; chronic lung disease; executive functions; MRI; NIDCAP;

   Sammanfattning : We investigated the intellectual outcome of two cohorts of preterm children, born from 1988 to 1993 and 1994 to 1997, respectively. A population-based follow-up study (the Stockholm Neonatal Project) included 182 children with a birth weight of 1500 g or less (very-low-birthweight: VLBW) and a control group of 125 children born healthy at term who were examined with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale-Revised (WPPSI-R) and a neuropsychological test battery (Nepsy) at 5½ years of age ((paper I-IV).

5. 19. Cerebellar development and very preterm birth interactions with neonatal events

   Författare :Kristbjorg Sveinsdottir; Lund Pediatrik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : AbstractThe cerebellum is an important part of the brain and in very preterm infants the cerebellum is smaller at term equivalent age compared to that of infants born at term.Hypothesis and aims: The general hypothesis is that preterm birth per se causes cerebellar underdevelopment and that certain events following preterm birth, either complications or treatments, can aggravate the underdevelopment.

7. 20. Maternal and placental inflammatory biomarkers in spontaneous preterm delivery - Predictive ability, stability and neonatal associations

   Författare :Panos Tsiartas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Preterm birth; Prediction; Multiplex; Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity; Histological chorioamnionitis; Neonatal outcome; Cytokine stability; Interleukin-6 IL-6 ;

   Sammanfattning : Preterm delivery (PTD), spontaneous or iatrogenic, causes short- and long-term morbidity and underlies almost 75% of neonatal deaths. The prevalence in the Nordic countries is about 6% but it differs among countries. In the USA, for instance, it is around 9.6%. LÄS MER
