  2. 1. Ultrasound prediction of large fetuses. Epidemiological and clinical investigations

    Author : Gun Lindell; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Two-dimensional ultrasound; three-dimensional ultrasound; fetus; intrauterine growth; maternal characteristic; large-for-gestational age; antenatal calculation; Bayesian theorem; fetal weight; estimation; post-term fetus; fetal macrosomia;

    Abstract : The proportions of newborns with a birth weight (BW) >4,000 g and of macrosomic newborns (BW >4,500 g) have increased during the last two decades, parallel with an increasing maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and age at the time for pregnancy. Delivery of a large fetus, especially >4,500 g might cause perinatal complications for both the mother and her child. READ MORE

  4. 2. Estimation of gestational age by ultrasound and extreme prematurity

    Author : Marija Simic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : pregnancy;

    Abstract : Accurate estimation of the gestational age of the fetus is a key assessment made by providers of obstetric care during pregnancy, since decisions concerning management strategies are dependent on this estimate. Thus, the prognosis for preterm infants born at the border of viability is strongly dependent on the accuracy with which gestational age can be determined. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gamma knife surgery of cerebral arteriovenous malformations

    Author : Bengt Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Brain arteriovenous malformation; Radiosurgery; Natural course; Surgery; Risk; Complications; Prediction; Risk estimation formula; Radionecrosis;

    Abstract : Aims of the study: to define and quantify parameters of importance for the treatment result in Gamma Knife (GK) surgery of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). To determine the natural course of AVM in order to calculate the impact of the GK treatment on the latency period between treatment and obliteration. READ MORE

  6. 4. Survival and renal function after acute kidney injury : epidemiological and biomarker studies

    Author : Claire Rimes-Stigare; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs frequently in the critically ill and has an extremely high short-term mortality. The long-term risks of death, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) have not been fully established and have never been investigated in the Swedish intensive care (ICU) population.

  7. 5. CFD and data-driven modeling for safe spillway discharge

    Author : Shicheng Li; Anders Ansell; James Yang; Robert Boes; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Discharge safety; hydraulic design; spillway; discharge capacity; aerator; two-phase flow; air entrainment; energy dissipation; CFD; data-driven modeling; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Abstract : A spillway is a crucial dam structure that regulates water levels and prevents the dam from overtopping. The majority of the dams in the world were constructed before the 1980s. Compared to the current design flood standards, many spillways are undersized, e.g. READ MORE
