    Abstract : Red blood cell (RBC) and iron status biomarkers are commonly used in clinical diagnostics. However, interpretations of infant test results are inherently challenging. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pitfalls in Interpreting Umbilical Cord Blood Gases and Lactate at Birth

    Author : Parisa Mokarami; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood gases; metabolic acidosis; umbilical cord; round-off; delayed sampling; validation;

    Abstract : Acid-base status in umbilical cord blood is an objective measure of the fetus’ exposure to and ability to handle hypoxia. The objective of this thesis was to clarify some of the methodological pitfalls in interpreting umbilical cord blood gases and lactate values at birth. READ MORE

  5. 3. Methodology for hemoglobin adduct measurement : Fetal exposures to acrylamide and other genotoxic agents

    Author : Hans von Stedingk; Margareta Törnqvist; Per Rydberg; Christian Lindh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

    Abstract : There is increasing evidence that exposure to toxic chemicals during the prenatal period constitute a higher health risk than exposure during adulthood. To characterize exposure and identify risk factors, sensitive methods for analysis of chemicals in vivo with biomarker methods are needed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigating the source of free fetal hemoglobin in preeclampsia. The role of the placenta and the fetus

    Author : Zahra Masoumi; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : Preeclampsia pregnancy; Placenta; Umbilical cord blood; Fetal erythropoiesis; Non-erythroid globin;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE) is an important pregnancy complication that affects 3-8% of women worldwide and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is known that PE is associated with placental dysfunction, resulting in hypoxia, oxidative stress, altered metabolism and production of inflammatory cytokines. READ MORE

  7. 5. Elucidating regulators of red blood cell development in health and disease

    Author : Taha Sen; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Red blood cells are are plentiful, flexible and essential. They are the most abundant cell in our body and their mainobject is to carry oxygen, which is essential for cellular respiration. The formation of red blood cells is callederythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis is intimately coupled to cell division and mitochondrial function. READ MORE
