  2. 1. Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

    Author : Anna Hogmalm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : bronchopulmonary dysplasia; transgenic mice; inflammation; lung; interleukin-1; αvβ6 integrin; mmp-9; surfactant;

    Abstract : Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development of BPD. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia from newborn disease to long-term sequelae

    Author : Eva Berggren Broström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) is a complication of premature birth that is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in infancy and impaired lung function and obstructive lung disease from childhood to adulthood. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial, and may involve one or more of the following: a deficiency in surfactant production in the immature lung, chronic inflammatory processes before and after birth, oxidative stress, and trauma due to mechanical ventilation.

  6. 4. Lung function measured with SPECT in infants and children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia : correlation with respiratory management and clinical grading

    Author : Malin Kjellberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic lung disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common and severe complication among extremely preterm born infants and infants with lung hypoplasia. Clinical grading of BPD is performed at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (or 56 days of age in moderately preterm infants) based on the need for supplemental oxygen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pulmonary disease in infancy, perinatal inflammatory risk factors and prophylaxis

    Author : Lena Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Objective: In the last decades the survival rate of preterm infants has increased substantially.1-3 Despite improved intensive neonatal care the incidence of chronic lung disease in infants born preterm has not changed. READ MORE
