1. 1. Fetal Anomalies : Surveillance and Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

   Författare :Hashem Amini; Ove Axelsson; Johan Wikström; Pelle Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pregnancy termination; fetal anomalies; antenatal diagnosis; ultrasound; second trimester; fetal MRI; CNS anomalies; pregnancy management; non-CNS anomalies; fetal autopsy; birth defects registry; ascertainment; spina bifida; cleft lip palate; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Sammanfattning : The aims were to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis of structural fetal anomalies with special focus on false positive findings (I), to evaluate the additional value of second trimester fetal MRI on pregnancy management (II-III) and to estimate the ascertainment in the Swedish Birth Defects Registry and incidence of spina bifida and cleft lip/palate (IV). Retrospectively, 328 fetal autopsies were identified where pregnancies were terminated due to ultrasonographically diagnosed fetal anomalies. LÄS MER

3. 2. Aspects of the human enteric nervous system : A study of the normal development and of Hirschsprung's disease

   Författare :Tomas Wester; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; enteric nervous system; Hirschsprung s disease; intestinal neuronal dysplasia; neuron density; nitric oxide; bcl-2; interstitial cells of Cajal; c-kit; human; fetal; development; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Thirty patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) who underwent Rehbein's anterior resection, using a circular stapler to perform the anastomosis, were evaluated retrospectively. The postoperative complication rate and long-term functional outcome were similar to those reported by other investigators using the same and other techniques. LÄS MER

4. 3. Diagnostic evaluation of fetal death with special reference to intrauterine infections

   Författare :Karin Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Fetal death; stillbirth; investigational protocol; congenital toxoplasmosis; parvovirus B19; Internet; INFPREG;

   Sammanfattning : The incidence of intrauterine fetal death (>=28 gestational weeks) is approximately 4/1000 births in Sweden. In order to arrive at a potential cause of death, a number of investigations have been recommended in the diagnostic evaluation of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). LÄS MER

5. 4. Pregnancy outcome and mortality patterns among women in Cape Verde

   Författare :Hans Wessel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :risk screening; birth weight; preterm birth; perinatal mortality; maternal mortality; STDs; female mortality; verbal autopsy;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To evaluate pregnancy outcome, risk factors for pregnancy complications, genital infections among pregnant women, health seeking behavior and causes of deaths among women of reproductive age in a low income country. Methods: Risk factors and pregnancy outcomes were studied prospectively in a cohort comprising 8% of all pregnant women registered for antenatal care (ANC) in the county of Praia, Cape Verde.

7. 5. New molecular tools for prenatal diagnosis

   Författare :Ellika Sahlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Prenatal diagnosis enables identification of severe disease in the fetus, and allows for planning and management of future pregnancies if an underlying genetic mechanism is identified. The studies included in this thesis have taken advantage of the dramatic progress in medical genetics, in order to develop and evaluate new procedures to diagnose genetic disorders in fetal life.
