   Abstract : In a prospective, population-based study of a weIl defined geographical area in Sweden, an ROP incidence of 40.4% was found among 260 prematurely born infants with a birth weight of 1500 grams or less. Cryotherapy was performed in 10.8% of the infants. READ MORE

4. 7. Markers and mechanisms of abnormal neurovascular development in the preterm infant

   Author : William Hellström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatology; Brain development; Extremely preterm infant; Brain volume; Retinopathy of prematurity; Insulin-like growth factor 1; Neurofilament light; Neurodevelopment;

   Abstract : Background: The extremely preterm infant is at risk of lifelong neurodevelopmental impairments due to brain injuries or abnormal neurovascular development. Mechanisms are largely unknown and biomarkers for adverse outcomes are sparse. READ MORE

5. 8. Retinal morphology and function in prematurely-born children at school age

   Author : Hanna Åkerblom; Gerd Holmström; Anne Fulton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Retinopathy of prematurity; Prematurity; Retinal development; OCT; Fullfield ERG; Multifocal ERG; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

   Abstract : Preterm birth may lead to complications during the neonatal period that can cause visual dysfunctions. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and neurological complications are well known reasons for visual dysfunctions, but preterm children with no or only mild ROP and no evident neurological problems may also be affected visually when they grow up.

6. 9. Aliphatic Polyesters for Soft Tissue Engineering : Development from Conventional Organometallic to Novel Enzymatic Catalysis

   Author : Rajiv Kumar Srivastava; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Stanishaw Penzzek; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aliphatic polyester; 1; 5-dioxepan-2-one; ε-caprolactone; L-lactide; D-lactide; D; L-lactide; enzyme; lipase CA; lipase PS; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The development of macromolecules with defined structure and properties, aimed specifically for biomedical applications, has resulted in diverse biodegradable polymers with advanced architectures. Among them, aliphatic polyesters synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones and lactides have a leading position due to their good mechanical properties, hydrolyzability and biocompatibility.

7. 10. Surface Modification of Nanocellulose towards Composite Applications

   Author : Assya Boujemaoui; Anna Carlmark Malkoch; Eva Malmström Jonsson; Julien Bras; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocellulose; surface modification; functionalization; composites; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Nanocelluloses have attracted great interest during recent decades owing to their renewability, abundancy and remarkable physical and mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to investigate new strategies for surface modification and functionalization of nanocelluloses and their subsequent incorporation in polymer-host matrices. READ MORE
