  1. 21. Risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis : epidemiological studies of perinatal characteristics, infections and the inflammatory reflex

    Författare :Cecilia Carlens; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterised by symmetric polyarthritis leading to progressive joint destruction. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to better knowledge of the etiology of RA by investigating the importance of the inflammatory reflex, childhood infections and early life exposures as risk factors for RA, based on four epidemiological studies.

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; preterm infants; visual development; neurosensory development; smooth pursuit eye movements; perinatal risk factors; reaching movements; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; Pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : To coordinate visual perception and motor control in daily life where we are constantly surrounded by motion, we are dependent on normal visuomotor capacity. One essential prerequisite for normal visuomotor capacity is smooth pursuit eye movements (SP). Infants born very preterm (VPT = born .. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Child survival in Rwanda: Challenges and potential for improvement : Population- and hospital-based studies

    Författare :Aimable Musafili; Lars-Åke Persson; Birgitta Essén; Baribwira Cyprien; Göran Tomson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Trends; social differentials; child mortality; perinatal mortality; perinatal audit; three delays model; training healthcare workers; Helping Babies Breathe; urban hospitals; Kigali; Rwanda; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : After the 1994 genocide and collapse of the health system, Rwanda initiated major social and health reforms in order to reduce child mortality and health inequities in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals. The aim of this thesis was to assess trends in under-five mortality (U5M) and equity in child survival, to study social barriers for improved perinatal and neonatal survival, and to evaluate Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), a newborn resuscitation program.

  5. 24. Pathophysiology in postterm pregnancy : epidemiology, risk factors and cervical ripening

    Författare :Nathalie Roos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :postterm pregnancy;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Postterm pregnancy, defined as a pregnancy of 42 or more completed weeks of gestation, occurs in approximately 5-10 % of all pregnancies. The condition is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity as well as an increased risk of perinatal mortality. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Perinatal programming and neuroendocrine function

    Författare :Cecilia Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Perinatal growth and development are dependent on a sufficient metabolic, hormonal and nutritional environment. Suboptimal conditions during specific perinatal developmental windows can lead to permanent programming of physiological systems in the fetus or newborn, with implications for adult health. LÄS MER
