51. Metabolic effects and long-term safety of childhood growth hormone treatment
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the metabolic effects and long-term safety of childhood growth hormone (GH) treatment. In order to achieve this aim, the different projects consist of a two-part clinical trial on metabolic features linked to GH physiology and GH treatment as well as two large population-based cohort studies with focus on the long-term cardiovascular and cancer risks in previously GH-treated patients.

52. Three - dimensional ultrasound studies of the cervix in pregnancy
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate cervical physiological changes by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound during pregnancy and to investigate the ability of 3D power Doppler to predict time to spontaneous and induced delivery in prolonged pregnancy. The thesis is based on five studies: reproducibility of cervical measurements by 3D power Doppler ultrasound (study I), reference data representative normal findings of the cervix assessed by 3D ultrasound during pregnancy (studies II, III) and the ability of 3D power Doppler to predict time to spontaneous and induced delivery in prolonged pregnancy.

54. Patent ductus arteriosus in extremely preterm infants : characteristics, risk factors and treatment decisions
Sammanfattning : Survival rates in infants born extremely preterm, before 28 weeks of gestation, are increasing and the focus has shifted towards decreasing morbidites after extremely preterm birth and promoting life-long health for the survivors.1-3Approximately 50-60% of extremely preterm infants have the past decade been treated for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) to induce ductal closure.

55. Optimized growth and reduced morbidity in preterm infants : focus on nutrition and saturation targets
Sammanfattning : Preterm birth alters the conditions during an important period of growth and organ maturation. Extremely preterm infants have a high risk of developing morbidity. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) originate in a disturbed retinal and pulmonary development. LÄS MER
