  1. 6. Respiratory tract infections, reflex apnea and sudden infant death : experimental and epidemiological studies with special reference to respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis and sleep position

    Författare :Carl Lindgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Bordetella pertussis; Infection; Interleukins; Laryngeal chemoreflex; Respiratory syncytial virus; Reflex apnea; Sleep; Sleeping position; Sudden infant death;

    Sammanfattning : The seasonal distribution of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) followed the prevalence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) when prone sleeping position was recommended, but this covariation has recently been attenuated. Airway infections in the young infant are known to produce respiratory disturbances. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Apnea, small for date and autonomic imbalance : risk factors in relation to SIDS

    Författare :Ann Edner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is defined as an infant who has died suddenly and its cause "remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history".

  4. 8. The role of substance P in respiratory control in the newborn : effects of morphine and nicotine

    Författare :Jonas Berner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : We breathe in order to maintain oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels within the physiological range in response to the metabolic demands of the body. To achieve this, the respiratory control system is dependent on input from peripheral and/ central chemosensitive areas and on participation of different neuromodulator systems. LÄS MER
