11. Infections and infectious related morbidity during pregnancy : short and long-term effects
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the association between infections during pregnancy and risks of miscarriage, preterm delivery and later development of autism. We identified 60 755 women with singleton births between 1973 and 2000 in the counties of Uppsala and Gävleborg who had a Pap smear taken during pregnancy. LÄS MER
12. Risk factors for cervical cancer development
Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality globally, predominantly in less developed countries. It is widely accepted that certain oncogenic types of HPV (Human papillomavirus) are necessary causes of cervical cancer development and a number of co-factors (including smoking) have also been implicated.

13. Self-sampling for HPV testing in primary cervical screening : Including clinical and health economic aspects
Sammanfattning : Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prerequisite for the development of cervical cancer. HPV testing has higher sensitivity for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) than cytology, resulting in more effective screening. LÄS MER
14. Tissue tumor marker expression in normal cervical tissue and in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, for women who are at high risk of human papilloma virus infection, are smokers, contraceptive users or in fertile age
Sammanfattning : The aim of this research was to study the correlation between tissue tumor marker expression and HR-HPV infection, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use and sex steroids in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or normal epithelium. The study investigated the expression of 11 tumor markers in cervical biopsies obtained from 228 women with different diagnoses ranging from normal cervical epithelium to various stages of CIN.

15. Digital Image Analysis of Cells : Applications in 2D, 3D and Time
Sammanfattning : Light microscopes are essential research tools in biology and medicine. Cell and tissue staining methods have improved immensely over the years and microscopes are now equipped with digital image acquisition capabilities. The image data produced require development of specialized analysis methods. LÄS MER
