  1. 6. Human newborn behavior during exposure to maternal and other odors

    Författare :Heili Varendi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Olfaction appears to play a pivotal role in immediate postnatal interactions between mammalian mothers and their offspring. The present study examined: (1) whether and how the newborn human infant and its mother communicate by means of olfaction; (2) the role of amniotic fluid (AF) and breast odors in such communication; (3) olfactory learning by neonates.

  3. 7. Regulation of vascular tone in myometrial resistance arteries in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia

    Författare :Karolina Kublickiene; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atrial natriuretic peptide; Blood vessels; Endothelin-l; Endothelin receptors; Myogenic tone; Myometrial Arteries; Preeclampsia; Pregnancy; Nitric oxide; Shear stress; Vascular endothelium; Vascular smooth muscle .;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Normal pregnancy is characterized by the occurrence of substantial vasodilatation. Pressure responsiveness and vascular reactivity to administered vasoconstrictors undergo considerable attenuation. These circulatory changes are essential to maintain adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to the placenta and thus to the fetus. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Pre-eclampsia – Possible to Predict? : A Biochemical and Epidemiological Study of Pre-eclampsia

    Författare :Marie Bolin; Helena Åkerud; Anna-Karin Wikström; Inger Sundström-Poromaa; Karel Marsal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pre-eclampsia; angiopoietin; histidine-rich glycoprotein; hyperemesis gravidarum; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Pre-eclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. A predictor of pre-eclampsia would enable intervention, close surveillance and timely delivery, and thereby reduce the negative consequences of the disorder. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Pregnancies with decreased fetal movements : risk factors and strategies for mitigation of poor neonatal outcomes

    Författare :Irene Sterpu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: The most feared complication of pregnancy is stillbirth. Globally there are 2.6 million stillbirths annually with more than 7000 deaths a day. Pregnancies with reduced fetal movements have a higher risk of stillbirth and growth restriction. LÄS MER
