  2. 1. Inflammation in experimental neonatal brain injury and in a clinical study of preterm birth; involvement of galectin-3 and free radical formation

    Author : Christina Doverhag; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : preterm labour; premature prelabour rupture of membranes; chorioamnionitis; hypoxia-ischemia; neonatal brain injury; NADPH oxidase; galectin-3; MMP-9; ascorbyl radicals; antioxidative capacity;

    Abstract : Introduction; Intrauterine infection/inflammation is associated with preterm delivery (PTD) and severe neonatal morbidity. Inflammation is also important in the secondary neurotoxic cascade leading to perinatal brain injury. READ MORE

  4. 2. Necrotising Enterocolitis : epidemiology and imaging

    Author : Margareta Ahle; Roland Andersson; Peder Drott; Örjan Smedby; Hans Ringertz; Tomas Wester; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a potentially devastating intestinal inflammation of multifactorial aetiology in premature or otherwise vulnerable neonates. Because of the broad spectrum of presentations, diagnosis and timing of surgical intervention may be challenging, and imaging needs to be an integrated part of management. READ MORE

  5. 3. CD64 (FcγRI) Expression on Neutrophil Granulocytes : A Diagnostic Marker of Acute Bacterial Infections

    Author : Gustav Fjaertoft; Tony Foucard; Per Venge; Stelllan Håkansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; CD64; FcγRI; Neutrophil; Infection; Newborn; Neonate; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : Background. Newborn infants, especially preterm infants, have an increased susceptibility to serious and overwhelming bacterial as well as fungal infections. Symptoms of septicaemia in especially the very preterm neonates are vague and unspecific. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigating Time-Varying Processes Using Seismicity and Time-Dependent Tomography

    Author : Alex Hobé; Ari Tryggvason; Olafur Gudmundsson; Roland Roberts; Nicholas Rawlinson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Time-Dependent Tomography; Joint Inversion; Geothermal Energy; Volcanotectonics; Seismic Unrest; Fagradalsfjall Eruption; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : Our global society is affected by, and makes use of, many time-varying processes. Processes related to geothermal energy and CO2 sequestration can help mitigate climate change and reduce the number of premature deaths (millions annually) due to air pollution from fossil fuels.

    Abstract : Objective: To study maternal smoking in pregnancy in relation to preterm birth, placental abruption and perinatal mortality in pregnancies with placental abruption, and to pulse wave characteristics in fetal aorta. Methods: Two cohort studies with data on single births obtained from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (N=311 977 and N=795 459, respectively). READ MORE
