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

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

4. 7. Perinatal Complications: Associations with Postpartum depressive symptoms and Neuroticism

   Author : Patricia Eckerdal; Alkistis Skalkidou; Anna-Karin Wikström; Ulf Högberg; Linnea Karlsson; Christina Hultman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antenatal depression; ceasarean section; delivery complications; Edinburgh postnatal depression scale; EPDS; epidural analgesia; gestational diabetes mellitus; instrumental delivery; neonatal complications; neuroticism; obstetric complications; personality; perinatal complications; postpartum depression; postpartum haemorrhage; pregnancy complications; vacuum extraction; vaginal delivery; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology; Psychiatry; Psykiatri;

   Abstract : Even though most pregnancies and deliveries are uncomplicated, still fifteen percent of all women in developed countries suffer pregnancy-related complications. The aim of this thesis was to explore the associations between perinatal complications and perinatal maternal health, with emphasis on postpartum depressive symptoms (PPDS) and neuroticism taking into account potential confounding or mediating factors such as history of depression, antenatal depressive symptoms and delivery experience.

5. 8. Hypothyroidism and Pregnancy

   Author : Michaela Granfors; Anna-Karin Wikström; Inger Sundström-Poromaa; Helena Åkerud; Ulla Feldt-Rasmussen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; phosphodiesterase 8B; recurrent miscarriage; single nucleotide polymorphism; thyroid; guidelines; hypothyroidism; pregnancy; survey; thyroid testing; screening; iodine; iodine deficiency; median urinary iodine concentration; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. On a global level, iodine deficiency is still the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Also genetic variations, in particular SNP rs4704397 in the PDE8B gene, are responsible for a significant proportion of TSH variations. READ MORE

6. 9. Epidemiological Studies of Preeclampsia : Maternal & Offspring Perspectives 

   Author : Jóhanna Gunnarsdóttir; Anna-Karin Wikström; Sven Cnattingius; Ulf Högberg; Alexander Smárason; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Placental dysfunction; blood pressure; small-for-gestational-age; fetal growth restriction; intrauterine; prenatal exposure; postnatal height gain; linear growth;

   Abstract : Preeclampsia is a placental-related disorder characterized by generalized endothelial activation. Vascular predisposition is associated with the occurrence of preeclampsia and the recurrence risk is substantial. READ MORE

7. 10. Preeclampsia – Studies on the Placenta and B-type Natriuretic Peptide

   Author : Katja Junus; Matts Olovsson; Anna-Karin Wikström; Stefan Hansson; Liv Cecilie Vestrheim Thomsen; Uppsala universitet; []
