1. Placental Function : An Epidemiological and Magnetic Resonance Study
Abstract : Placental function is central for normal pregnancy and in many of the major pregnancy disorders. We used magnetic resonance imaging techniques to investigate placental function in normal pregnancy, in early and late preeclampsia and in intrauterine growth restriction. READ MORE

2. Maternal and neonatal anthropometry and growth factor expression and apoptosis in human placenta : a comparison between two populations
Abstract : The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), and IGFBP proteases, are key endocrine regulators of somatic growth and cellular proliferation. IGFs are involved in growth both pre- and postnatally. READ MORE

3. Risk and resilience in children born preterm : cognitive and executive functioning at 5 1/2 years of age
Abstract : We investigated the intellectual outcome of two cohorts of preterm children, born from 1988 to 1993 and 1994 to 1997, respectively. A population-based follow-up study (the Stockholm Neonatal Project) included 182 children with a birth weight of 1500 g or less (very-low-birthweight: VLBW) and a control group of 125 children born healthy at term who were examined with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale-Revised (WPPSI-R) and a neuropsychological test battery (Nepsy) at 5½ years of age ((paper I-IV).

4. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. READ MORE

5. Fractional moving blood volume in fetal organs estimated using power Doppler ultrasound
Abstract : Power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) is a sensitive technique to detect slow blood movement. The aim of the present study was to develop a standardized method for quantification of the PDU signals recorded from a specific region of interest (ROI) within fetal organs. READ MORE
