The materials that have been studied are palladium, rhodium and an alloy of palladium and silver, with applications in emission cleaning by catalytic converters in vehicles. LÄS MER
2. Maternal obesity, duration of labor and the role of leptin
Sammanfattning : Background: The prevalence of obesity substantially increases in pregnant women. Maternal obesity is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The increased risk for cesarean section present in obese women has been related to potential impaired uterine contractility. The mechanism that underlies this theory is not clear. LÄS MER
3. Hyperglycemia in pregnancy : diagnostics and duration of labor
Sammanfattning : Objectives: The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of maternal hyperglycemia in pregnancy on the duration of active labor, to evaluate indications for cesarean section and further, to examine cut-offs for gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis based on capillary sampling.Material and methods: Study I was a cross-sectional study on diagnostic accuracy performed at an antenatal care clinic at the University Hospital in Linköping, Sweden.
