  1. 1. Progesterone in human parturition : progesterone and 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione in relation to human myometrial activity

    Författare :Mats Löfgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship of progesterone and 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione (5αDHP), a major progesterone metabolite, to human parturition. The serum concentrations of 5αDHP prior to, during and following parturition were to be established, as well as its maternal and fetal concentration in different modes of delivery. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hormones and fluid balance during pregnancy, labor and post partum

    Författare :Anitha Risberg; Mats Sjöquist; Kerstin Olsson; Sven Lyrenäs; Karolina Kublickiene; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cortisol; estradiol; glucose; labour; osmolality; oxytocin; parturition; pregnancy; pregnancy-induced hypertension; progesterone; vasopressin; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to determine any association between plasma oxytocin and vasopressin concentrations and renal water and sodium excretion during normal pregnancy. In addition to investigate changes in concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, oxytocin, cortisol, and glucose in the blood before and in the nearest hours after delivery and if treatment with oxytocin affected these concentrations and the fluid balance during the different stages of labour.

  4. 3. Snake Gourds, Parasites and Mother Roasting : Medicinal plants, plant repellents, and Trichosanthes (Cucurbitaceae) in Lao PDR

    Författare :Hugo J. de Boer; Lars Björk; Mats Thulin; Thomas Jaenson; Victoria Reyes-Garcia; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Trichosanthes; Ethnobotany; Similarity of Knowledge; Biogeography; Molecular Dating; Brou; Saek; Kry; Mother roasting; Postpartum healthcare; Parturition; Childbirth; Traditional Medicine; Plant repellents; Fermented fish; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik; Biology with specialization in Systematics;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Traditional plant use was studied in Lao PDR. Research focused on medicinal plant use by the Brou, Saek and Kry ethnic groups, traditional plant repellents against parasitic arthropods and leeches, and the phylogeny and biogeography of the medicinally-important snake gourd genus (Trichosanthes, Cucurbitaceae).  Methods.

  5. 4. Genetic and epidemiological studies of dystocia : difficult labour

    Författare :Michael Algovik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Dystocia; epidemiology; genetics; labour; obstetric complications; parturition; susceptibility; uterus;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics, the influence on reproductive health and the genetic basis of dystocia prolonged and difficult labour. Material and methods: The thesis has a retrospective design and is mainly based on a material from an entire cohort of women, extracted from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, who had their first delivery during the years 1973 to 1997.

  7. 5. Physiological and clinical studies of calcium-regulating hormones calcitonin and parathyroid hormone-related protein

    Författare :Haiqin Rong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :bone metabolism; breast cancer; calcitonin; calcium; exercise; lanthanide; milk; neonate; osteoporosis; parathyroid hormone-related protein; parturition; polymerase chain reaction; time-resolved fluorometry;

    Sammanfattning : The present studies were performed to elucidate several physiological and clinical questions of calcitonin (CT) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) such as: a) Does age influence the basal and calcium-stimulated levels and circulating molecular forms of CT in healthy females? b) Are osteoporotic patients lacking circulating monomeric CT? c) How is salmon CT (sCT) absorbed and cleared during treatment of diseases? d) Is there any effect of acute physical activity on circulating CT, PTH, PTHrP and bone metabolic markers? e) Is there an absorbance of PTHrP in milk by the neonate? and f) Are there any interactions between CT and PTHrP? In addition, by use of time-resolved dissociation and enhancement lanthanide fluorometry, the effort was put to develop two-site immunofluorometric assays (IFMA) for sCT and PTHrP as well as a quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) for measuring PTHrP mRNA and use these methods in some of the investigations. Heterogeneity of CT forms in serum was disclosed after immunoextraction, fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) in healthy females and osteoporotic patients. LÄS MER
