    Abstract : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent approximately 7% of the human genome. This investigation was focused on one particular HERV, ERV3, with the main purpose of characterising its gene expression patterns and genomic distribution of ERV3-like sequences. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on Prostanoid Production in the Umbilicoplacental Circulation

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; Obstetrics; Umbilical; Thromboxane; Pulsatility Index; Prostacyclin; Pregnancy; Placenta; Peroxidation; Growth restriction; Endoperoxides; Endothelium; Doppler; Diabetes; sexualitet; reproduktion; andrologi; gynekologi; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik;

    Abstract : The fetoplacental circulation is a low pressure system with a high vascular prostacyclin to thromboxane (Pc/Tx)synthesis ratio. In intrauterin growth restriction (IUGR) and diabetes the prostanoid balance may be altered. READ MORE

  5. 3. Placental pathology regarding inflammation and a new classification of stillbirth

    Author : Ingela Hulthén Varli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The incidence of stillbirth has remained almost constant during the last 2-3 decades despite obvious improvements in obstetric care. To achieve a reduction of stillbirth, better understanding of the etiology is imperative. Relevant test protocols and audit work is reported to reduce the number of unexplained cases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Placental histopathology in preeclampsia and outcome of the offspring

    Author : Marie-Therese Vinnars; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The maternal symptoms are diverse and the neonates are often born premature and growth-restricted. Today the survival of premature infants has increased, but the neonatal complications including morbidity and long-term developmental deficits are still common. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of inflammation, angiogenesis and coagulation in preeclampsia

    Author : Roland Boij; Leif Matthiesen; Jan Ernerudh; Maria Jenmalm; Göran Berg; Henrik Hagberg; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Preeclampsia is a major challenge to obstetricians, due to its impact on maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality and the lack of preventive and treatment strategies. The overall aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge of the pathogenesis of preeclampsia including the role of inflammation, angiogenesis and coagulation, both locally at the fetomaternal interface and in the maternal circulation.
