  1. 1. Promoting health in premature infants : with special focus on skin-to-skin contact and development of valid pain assesment

    Författare :Emma Olsson; Mats Eriksson; Agneta Anderzen-Carlsson; Gunilla Ahlsén; Carina Sparud Lundin; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Near-infrared spectroscopy; Neonatal intensive care; Pain assessment; Premature infant; Skin-to-skin contact;

    Sammanfattning : Premature infants are at greater risk for both short- and long-term negative outcomes than infants born at full term. Premature infants have an immature nervous system and are not developmentally prepared to process the often excessive stimuli and frequent painful procedures of intensive care. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bladder function in infants. A urodynamic and radiologic study

    Författare :Marc Bachelard; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infants; bladder function; urodynamics; urinary tract infection; dilating reflux; videocystometry.;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: The aims of the present study were to establish a reference for urodynamics in infancy, to study the urodynamic pattern of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) and of infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux (reflux), and to evaluate if bladder dysfunction was occurring in these conditions. In addition, the possibilities to identify bladder instability in infants at voiding cystourethrography (VCU) were evaluated. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pharmacometric Models for Antibacterial Agents to Improve Dosing Strategies

    Författare :Elisabet I Nielsen; Lena E Friberg; Otto Cars; Mats O Karlsson; Marie Sandström; Alan Forrest; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; modeling; NONMEM; antibiotics; in vitro; time-kill curve; PK PD indices; gentamicin; aminoglycosides; newborn infants; premature infants; cystatin C; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs. Although the majority of these drugs were developed several decades ago, optimal dosage (dose, dosing interval and treatment duration) have still not been well defined. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Premedication for intubation in newborn infants; pain assessment, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

    Författare :Elisabeth Norman; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Premedication; pain; premature; newborn; aEEG; randomized controlled trial; thiopental; morphine; remifentanil; rapid sequence induction; ibntubation; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics;

    Sammanfattning : Preterm infants undergo intensive care during a vulnerable period with hemodynamic instability and a rapidly developing and immature CNS. Adequate pain management is essential, since pain experience might lead to acute physiological reactions as well as neurological and neuropsychological sequels. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hyperglycemia, nutrition and health outcomes in preterm infants

    Författare :Itay Zamir; Magnus Domellöf; Elisabeth Stoltz Sjöström; Kathryn Beardsall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatal hyperglycemia; preterm infants; early programming; insulin; blood pressure; neurodevelopment; MABC-2; EXPRESS; LIGHT; continuous glucose monitoring; parenteral nutrition; postnatal growth; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundSurvival among very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely preterm (EPT) infants has increased markedly during the last decades. Neonatal hyperglycemia is common in these infants and is known to be associated with adverse outcomes. LÄS MER
