  1. 1. Apnea and infection in neonates : mediatory role of interleukin-1Beta and prostaglandin E2

    Författare :Annika Olsson Hofstetter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :respiration; interleukin-1Beta; prostaglandin E2; newborns; rodents; brainstem;

    Sammanfattning : The breathing pattern of infants, particularly preterm infants, is often irregular or periodic and is frequently interrupted by apnea. The latter represents a major concern in haematology, yet much remains unknown about its incidence, appearance, and pathophysiology. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Neonatal respiratory control : inspiration, inflammation and the prostaglandin E2 pathway

    Författare :Veronica Siljehav; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Immature or deficient autonomic control is a common problem in infants born at a premature age, and is of central importance in apneas. The pre- and perinatal development of the brainstem neural circuits that control autonomic functions is vital for survival after birth and for the regulation of breathing movements. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, maternal and infant immune responses and allergic disease in infancy

    Författare :Kristina Warstedt; Malin Fagerås Böttcher; Karin Fälth-Magnusson; Karel Duchén; Marit Troye-Blomberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The incidence of allergic diseases in industrialized countries has increased, and a relation between allergy and dietary fatty acids has been proposed. Modulation of the maternal immune function during pregnancy may have an impact on future clinical outcome in the child. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Post-polio syndrome : analysis of inflammation and immune modulation

    Författare :Eva Melin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Poliomyelitis is a viral infection, which affects the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord leaving patients with different levels and distribution of muscle weakness and loss of, or decreased, function. This situation has previously been regarded as a stable condition. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immunoregulatory effects of placenta-derived decidual stromal cells

    Författare :Tom Erkers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Decidual stromal cells (DSCs) play a pivotal role in feto-maternal tolerance to prevent rejection of the fetus during pregnancy. This provides a rationale for immunomodulatory stromal cells from the placenta being isolated and used as cellular therapy for inflammatory conditions following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
