  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. Fats in Mind : Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Cognition and Behaviour in Childhood

    Författare :Ulrika Birberg Thornberg; Thomas Karlsson; Magnus Lindgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognition; Omega-3 Fatty Acids; Children; ADHD; Executive Functions; kognition; omega-3 fettsyror; barn; ADHD; exekutiva funktioner; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to examine possible effects of omega-3 fatty acids on children’s cognition and behavior. Longitudinal as well as cross-sectional comparisons were made among children with typical development and children with ADHD /at risk developing ADHD. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Inference of systems-level behaviors in the immune system from single-cell data

    Författare :Dieudonné Nkulikiyimfura; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the systems-level behaviours of the immune system requires profiling many parameters of its constituents as well as identifying environmental factors influencing the time evolution of immune response. Recent advances in technologies enable multiple cellular components to be measured simultaneously at an unprecedented scale and resolution across many individuals, and the resulting data could be used to meet this goal.

  5. 9. Adverse effects of exposure to air pollutants during fetal development and early life : with focus on pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, and childhood asthma

    Författare :David Olsson; Bertil Forsberg; Beate Ritz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; pregnancy outcomes; asthma; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background Air pollution exposure has been shown to have adverse effects on several health outcomes, and numerous studies have reported associations with cardiovascular morbidity, respiratory disease, and mortality. Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have investigated possible associations with pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Automated analysis of fetal cardiac function : a new approach based on tissue Doppler imaging

    Författare :Lotta Herling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The heart is a central organ in fetal adaptation to various hemodynamic insults and it is possible that subtle changes caused by complications such as hypoxia and anemia could manifest themselves early as altered fetal cardiac function. Color tissue Doppler imaging (cTDI) is an ultrasound technique that evaluates myocardial motion by assessing myocardial velocities. LÄS MER
