1. 6. Perinatal brain injury - markers and mediators. Non-protein-bound iron and pro-inflammatory cytokines in newborn infants and neonatal pigs

   Författare :Karin Sävman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asphyxia; hypoxia; posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation; preterm; newborn; perinatal; brain; cerebrospinal fluid; cytokines; IL-1ß; IL-6; IL-8; TNF-a; non-protein-bound-iron;

   Sammanfattning : Two groups of newborn infants have an increased risk for perinatal brain injury; preterm infants and term infants subjected to birth asphyxia. Experimental studies indicate that hypoxic-ischemic insults in the perinatal period initiate a secondary neurotoxic cascade including formation of toxic reactive oxygen species as well as an inflammatory response with elevated levels of potentially neurotoxic cytokines.

3. 7. Perinatal Energy Substrate Metabolism : Glucose Production and Lipolysis in Pregnant Women and Newborn Infants with Particular Reference to Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

   Författare :Barbro Diderholm; Jan Gustafsson; Uwe Ewald; Olle Söder; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Lipolysis; Glucose; Newborn infant; Pregnant women; IUGR; Insulin; Stable isotopes; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

   Sammanfattning : Glucose is the most important fetal nutrient and the production of this substrate increases in the pregnant woman. In the last trimester the increased insulin resistance directs energy substrates to the fetus. Fetal growth is sometimes disturbed, often without an obvious explanation. LÄS MER

4. 8. Perinatal mortality among immigrants from Africa´s Horn: The importance of experience, rationality, and tradition for risk assessment in pregnancy and childbirth

   Författare :Birgitta Essén; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics; gynaecology; perinatal audit; anthropology; epidemiology; female circumcision; acculturation; sub-optimal care; ethnic background; immigrants; Perinatal mortality; andrology; reproduction; reproduktion; andrologi; sexuality; gynekologi; Obstetrik; sexualitet;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is an exploration of the possible effects of maternal country of origin on the risk of perinatal mortality (PNM). Increased risk of PNM was found among infants of foreign-born women delivering in a Swedish hospital between 1990-1995. LÄS MER

5. 9. Perinatal Complications: Associations with Postpartum depressive symptoms and Neuroticism

   Författare :Patricia Eckerdal; Alkistis Skalkidou; Anna-Karin Wikström; Ulf Högberg; Linnea Karlsson; Christina Hultman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antenatal depression; ceasarean section; delivery complications; Edinburgh postnatal depression scale; EPDS; epidural analgesia; gestational diabetes mellitus; instrumental delivery; neonatal complications; neuroticism; obstetric complications; personality; perinatal complications; postpartum depression; postpartum haemorrhage; pregnancy complications; vacuum extraction; vaginal delivery; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology; Psychiatry; Psykiatri;

   Sammanfattning : Even though most pregnancies and deliveries are uncomplicated, still fifteen percent of all women in developed countries suffer pregnancy-related complications. The aim of this thesis was to explore the associations between perinatal complications and perinatal maternal health, with emphasis on postpartum depressive symptoms (PPDS) and neuroticism taking into account potential confounding or mediating factors such as history of depression, antenatal depressive symptoms and delivery experience.

7. 10. Chronic Hypertension and Pregnancy : Epidemiological Aspects on Maternal and Perinatal Complications

   Författare :Karin Zetterström; Solveig Lindeberg; Ulf Hanson; Bengt Haglund; Henry Nisell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Obstetrics and gynaecology; chronic hypertension; preeclampsia; gestational diabetes; abruptio placenta; SGA; perinatal death; stillbirth; neonatal death; gender; generation; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

   Sammanfattning : These studies were undertaken to investigate risks of maternal and perinatal complications in pregnant women with chronic hypertensive disease, and to investigate future risk of preeclampsia in women born small for gestational age (SGA). Population based cohort studies using the Swedish Medical Birth Register from different years were performed. LÄS MER
