  2. 1. 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. 2. Genetic studies of pre-eclampsia

    Author : Hanna Peterson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pre-eclampsia is a multifactorial, pregnancy-specific vascular disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. It affects around 3-5% of pregnancies worldwide. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cerebral biomarkers in women with preeclampsia

    Author : Lina Bergman; Helena Åkerud; Anna Karin Wikström; Johan Wikström; Eva Britta Råssjö; Ulf Högberg; Marc Spandermaan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; preeclampsia; eclampsia; biomarkers; S100B; NSE; PRES; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia and eclampsia are among the most common causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity worldwide. There are no reliable means to predict eclampsia or cerebral edema in women with preeclampsia and knowledge of the brain involvement in preeclampsia is still limited. READ MORE

  6. 4. Carotid Artery Wall Layer Dimensions during and after Pre-eclampsia : An investigation using non-invasive high-frequency ultrasound

    Author : Tansim Akhter; Tord Naessen; Anna-Karin Wikström; Henry Nisell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Systemic lupus erythematosus; normal pregnancy; pre-eclampsia; high-frequency ultrasound; common carotid artery; intima media ratio; cardiovascular disease.; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Pre-eclampsia is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. The ‘gold standard’ for estimating cardiovascular risk - ultrasound assessment of the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) - does not convincingly demonstrate this increased risk.

  7. 5. Preeclampsia and the Brain : Epidemiological and Magnetic Resonance Studies

    Author : Maria Nelander; Johan Wikström; Anna-Karin Wikström; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Gerda Zeeman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; preeclampsia; eclampsia; seizure; MRI; MRS; IVIM; dementia; cardiovascular disease; magnesium; cerebral organic osmolytes; perfusion; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific syndrome that causes substantial maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. One major contributor to maternal deaths is eclampsia, i.e. when seizures arise in the context of preeclampsia. READ MORE
