  1. 11. Apnea and infection in neonates : mediatory role of interleukin-1Beta and prostaglandin E2

    Författare :Annika Olsson Hofstetter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :respiration; interleukin-1Beta; prostaglandin E2; newborns; rodents; brainstem;

    Sammanfattning : The breathing pattern of infants, particularly preterm infants, is often irregular or periodic and is frequently interrupted by apnea. The latter represents a major concern in haematology, yet much remains unknown about its incidence, appearance, and pathophysiology. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Early detection of critical congenital heart defects in Sweden - with a focus on coarctation of the aorta

    Författare :Katarina Lannering; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; critical congenital heart defect; coarctation of the aorta; newborn; early detection; screening;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Despite the implementation of prenatal and neonatal screening, newborn infants with critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) remain at risk of being discharged undiagnosed, particularly newborns with coarcation of the aorta (CoA). Recent studies have suggested that perfusion index (PI) may potentially identify additional cases of CoA. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction : Clinical aspects in children with spinal dysraphism

    Författare :Peter Wide; Karel Duchén; Sven Mattsson; Gunilla Glad Mattsson; Sivert Lindström; Maria Hertelius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Spinal dysraphism (SD) is a congenital malformation that to a varying extent, often severely, affects the life of the child and the family. Most individuals with SD suffer from neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction—with the risk of urinary tract infections, renal deterioration, urinary and fecal incontinence—that affects social participation and quality of life negatively.

  5. 14. Mother and newborn adaptations after birth : influence of administration of oxytocin and epidural analgesia during labour

    Författare :Wibke Jonas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Blood pressure; breastfeeding; epidural analgesia; labour; maternal personality pattern; newborn temperature; oxytocin; postpartum; prolactin; skin-to-skin contact.;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: This thesis explores postpartum physiological and psychological adaptations in mothers and newborns in the short-and long-term perspective. The thesis further explores the influence of labour ward interventions, such as epidural analgesia (EDA) and exogenous administration of oxytocin on these adaptations. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Pulse oximetry: Evaluation of a potential tool for early detection of critical congenital heart disease

    Författare :Anne de-Wahl Granelli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pulse oximetry; duct-dependent; newborn screening; congenital heart disease; perfusion index;

    Sammanfattning : Background: About one third of newborns with life-threatening congenital heart disease leave newborn nurseries without the problem being recognized, and risk death or serious damage from circulatory collapse. The main aim of this thesis has been to evaluate if routine newborn screening with pulse oximetry could improve early in-hospital detection of newborns with duct-dependent circulation (DDC). LÄS MER
