    Sammanfattning : Prenatal diagnosis enables identification of severe disease in the fetus, and allows for planning and management of future pregnancies if an underlying genetic mechanism is identified. The studies included in this thesis have taken advantage of the dramatic progress in medical genetics, in order to develop and evaluate new procedures to diagnose genetic disorders in fetal life.

    Sammanfattning : United Nations has lately stated ambitious health targets for 2030 in the Sustainable Development Goal agenda, following the already achieved progress between 1990 and 2015 when the number of children dying before the age of five was reduced by more than half. However, the mortality reduction in the first month of life after birth has not kept the same pace. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Characterizing retained placenta : epidemiology and pathophysiology of a critical obstetric disorder

    Författare :Margit Endler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Retained placenta is associated with severe postpartum hemorrhage but its etiology and pathophysiology are largely unknown. Certain studies have suggested that retained placenta is associated to defective placentation disorders- pregnancy disorders with an initial defective placentation resulting in increased oxidative stress.
