  2. 1. Urea and Non-Protein Nitrogen Metabolism in Infants : With Special Reference to the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

    Author : Mary George; Sten Lindahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Urea; non-protein nitrogen metabolism; SIDS; drinking water nitrate concentration; carbon dioxide production; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

    Abstract : A large amount of non-protein nitrogen, in the form of urea and ammonium, is present in human breastmilk; however its physiological role in the infant is as yet not fully understood. It has been hypothesized that an insufficient enteric metabolism of urea could play a role in the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). READ MORE

  4. 2. Sudden infant death syndrome-epidemiology and environmental factors. Prevention is still a challenge

    Author : Per Möllborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bed sharing; epidemiology; prevention; SIDS; Sudden infant death syndrome; SUDI; Sudden infant death in infancy; Sweden;

    Abstract : Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is still an important cause of death in infancy despite its declining incidence. The overall aim of this thesis was to study environmental factors influencing the risk of SIDS with the goal of still further reducing preventable deaths among infants in the future. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation of New Technologies for Forensic DNA Analysis

    Author : Anna-Maria Divne; Marie Allen; Joakim Lundeberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; STR; SNP; SIDS; mtDNA; HVI HVII SSOP linear array; minisequencing; tag arrays; Pyrosequencing; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : DNA samples from crime scenes or mass disasters are often limited and degraded which limits the possibility of successful traditional STR analysis. Moreover, there is a need to decrease the turnaround time in criminal investigations. READ MORE

  6. 4. Apnea, small for date and autonomic imbalance : risk factors in relation to SIDS

    Author : Ann Edner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS ; Apparent Life Threatening Event ALTE ; Small for Gestational Age SGA ; Tilt test; Heart Rate Variability HR V ;

    Abstract : SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is defined as an infant who has died suddenly and its cause "remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history". An infant who during sleep has been found apneic, pale or cyanotic and limp, and has required either vigorous stimulation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is defined to have been affected of an Apparent Life Threatening Event (ALTE).

  7. 5. Hypoxia and auto resuscitation in the neonatal rodent with special reference to the sympatho-adrenal system

    Author : Shi-Zeng Yuan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenal medulla; apnea; asphyxia; autoresuscitation; catecholamines; SIDS;

    Abstract : Preterm infants exhibit irregular breathing with frequent episodes of apnea, which may be associated with cyanosis and bradycardia. Perinatal asphyxia causes a considerable amount of morbidity and mortality that occurs during early life. Studies of mechanisms responsible for perinatal asphyxia are therefore very important.
