  2. 1. Non-nutritive sucking in the neonate

    Author : Maria Hafström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Numerical-Analysis-Computer-Assisted; Non-nutritive sucking. Sucking behaviour; Infant; Newborn; Premature; Development; Disease-Susceptibility; Follow-up; Meperidine;

    Abstract : Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) by the newborn infant is a fundamental behaviour and is one of the first coordinated muscular activities in the foetus. A new specially designed computer-based method for automatic analysis of the NNS pattern in neonates has been produced. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neonatal Resuscitation : Understanding challenges and identifying a strategy for implementation in Nepal

    Author : Ashish KC; Mats Målqvist; Uwe Ewald; Stefan Swartling Peterson; Susan Niermeyer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antepartum stillbirth; intrapartum stillbirth; neonatal mortality; first-day neonatal mortality; antenatal care; fetal heart rate monitoring; partogram; preterm; small-for-gestational-age; clinical adherence; neonatal resuscitation; skill retention; quality improvement cycle; Nepal; International Health; Internationell hälsa;

    Abstract : Despite the unprecedented improvement in child health in last 15 years, burden of stillbirth and neonatal death remain the key challenge in Nepal and the reduction of these deaths will be crucial for reaching the health targets for Sustainable development goal by 2030.The aim of this thesis was to explore the risk factors for stillbirth and neonatal death and change in perinatal outcomes after the introduction of the Helping Babies Breathe Quality Improvement Cycle (HBB QIC) in Nepal.

  5. 3. Diode-laser absorption spectroscopy - applications in medicine and environmental monitoring

    Author : Jim Larsson; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TDLAS; GASMAS; biophotonics; Scheimpflug Lidar; Fysicumarkivet A:2019:Larsson;

    Abstract : A major part of this thesis work has been research in a medical project, where, together with industry and clinical partners, the aim was to develop a prototype system for non-invasive monitoring of premature babies based on the optical measurement technique gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS). Part of the project was to develop a 3D-printed tissue phantom based on chest X-ray images of the thorax of a premature infant. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of novel synthetic lung surfactants for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome

    Author : Oihana Basabe Burgos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and specific proteins found in the alveoli and its main role is to reduce the surface tension of the alveolar air/water interface, thereby preventing lung collapse. Lack of pulmonary surfactant in premature babies results in lethal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), which is today treated with surfactant replacement therapy, i. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring the interactions of antibiotic combinations against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria

    Author : Anna Olsson; Thomas Tängdén; Linus Sandegren; Pernilla Lagerbäck; Joseph Meletiadis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gram-negative bacteria combination therapy antimicrobial resistence; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance is emerging and available treatment options are lacking. Antibiotics is a cornerstone in modern medicine where medical procedures such as surgery, care of premature babies or treatment of cancer is dependent on efficient drugs. READ MORE
