   Keywords : Obstetrics and gynaecology; chronic hypertension; preeclampsia; gestational diabetes; abruptio placenta; SGA; perinatal death; stillbirth; neonatal death; gender; generation; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

   Abstract : These studies were undertaken to investigate risks of maternal and perinatal complications in pregnant women with chronic hypertensive disease, and to investigate future risk of preeclampsia in women born small for gestational age (SGA). Population based cohort studies using the Swedish Medical Birth Register from different years were performed. READ MORE

4. 2. Water transport through perinatal skin : Barrier function and aquaporin water channels

   Author : Johan Ågren; Gunnar Sedin; Gunnar Flemström; Steven B Hoath; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Preterm infant; Transepidermal water loss; Aquaporin; Skin biology; Hyperosmolarity; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

   Abstract : While constituting a well functioning interface with the aqueous environment in utero, the skin offers a poor barrier after very preterm birth. As a result, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is high, a fact which has important clinical consequences in these infants. READ MORE

6. 4. Risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis : epidemiological studies of perinatal characteristics, infections and the inflammatory reflex

   Author : Cecilia Carlens; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterised by symmetric polyarthritis leading to progressive joint destruction. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to better knowledge of the etiology of RA by investigating the importance of the inflammatory reflex, childhood infections and early life exposures as risk factors for RA, based on four epidemiological studies.

7. 5. Perinatal regenerative medicine : development of autologous constructs for soft tissue defects

   Author : Åsa Ekblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Disrupted organogenesis leads to permanent malformations that may require surgical correction. Affected new-borns without spare tissue for the primary closure are dependent of other solutions. Because of the perinatal tissue shortage, synthetic or biological prosthetic materials are being used, which may be associated with complications. READ MORE
