2. 1. Preeclampsia and other circulatory diseases during pregnancy : etiological aspects and impact on female offspring

   Author : Helena Salonen Ros; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : preeclampsia; gestational hypertension; pregnancy-induced hypertension; risk factors; heritability; twin study; venous thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; subarachnoid hemorrhage; intracerebral hemorrhage; intracerebral infarction; stroke; intrauterine exposure;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate and compare environmental effects on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension; to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental effects on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension; to assess the effect of childbearing on the risk of circulatory diseases; and to explore the effect of preeclampsia on the female offspring anthropometry in early adulthood. We used the Swedish Birth Register to compare the effect of maternal diabetes, multiple birth, smoking, place of birth and obesity, on the liability of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension among 10,666 primiparous women.

4. 2. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in Sweden : epidemiological studies focused on incidence and risk factors

   Author : Anna Sundholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder which is not that unusual for neurologists and ophthalmologists to meet in clinical practice even though it only affects around 1 per 100,000 individuals. It gives rise to symptoms of headache and visual disturbances caused by high intracranial pressure (ICP). READ MORE

5. 3. Maternal renal artery Doppler velocimetry in normal and hypertensive pregnancies

   Author : Marius Kublickas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Atrial natriuretic factor Cyclicguanosine monophosphate Doppler ultrasoundKidney Modeling Preeclampsia Pregnancy Preg-nancy induced hypertension Pulsatility index Re-nal artery Renal blood flow Repeatability.Stockholm 1966;

   Abstract : Background: The measurement of effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) by calculation of p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance is an invasive, time-consuming procedure. In nonpregnant humans, the clearance of isotopes can be used to measure renal plasma flow, but the use of these radioactive substances during pregnancy is unsuitable. READ MORE

6. 4. Cardiovascular function and biomarkers in women with preeclampsia

   Keywords : Preeclampsia; endothelial function; FMD; thrombin; microparticle; menstrual cycle; ventricular diastolic function; echocardiography; NT-pro-BNP; cystatin C; CRP; inflammation; hemostasis; Pentraxin 3; angiogenesis; pregnancy; follow-up;

   Abstract : Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder peculiar to human pregnancy and characterized by the onset of hypertension and proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation. The pathophysiology of this disorder is still not clear. READ MORE

   Author : Anna-Karin Edstedt Bonamy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A large number of studies show that the risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in people born with low birth weight. READ MORE
