    Author : Charles Kilewo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis describes studies of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1 in breast-feeding populations in sub-Saharan Africa by perinatal and postnatal prophylactic antiretroviral therapy (ART) of mothers and infants. The acceptability of HIV counseling and testing in pregnant women and the mortality among HIV-1-infected women during 2 years after delivery was also studied. READ MORE

  4. 22. Prediction and prevention of allergy in infants and children

    Author : Hannes Odelram; Tony Foucard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Atopic disposition is hereditary with varying penetrance. A carefully obtained family history of atopic disease (FH) is useful as a predictor but has low sensitivity. Other tested predictors such as cord blood (CB) IgE, counts of different CB cell elements and combinations of predictors all have a similar, or even lower sensitivity and specificity. READ MORE

    Author : Ann Dsilna Lindh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : tube feeding;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate short term effects of enteral feeding methods, continuous versus intermittent bolus feeding in very low birth weight infants on gastro intestinal tolerance and growth (I) and, behavioural responses of stress during feeding (II) in early postnatal life. Furthermore, to compare and follow up of longer term effects of these enteral feeding methods on later breastfeeding capability (III). READ MORE

  6. 24. Studies on albumin binding properties in pregnancy and early infancy : with special reference to maternal sulphasalazine treatment

    Author : Elisabeth Esbjörner; Ulf Broberger; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Sulphasalazine (SASP) has been avoided during the later part of pregnancy and during breast-feeding as some sulphonamides possess the ability to displace bilirubin from albumin and thus increase the risk of bilirubin-induced brain damage in jaundiced neonates. However, withdrawal of SASP in a woman with ulcerative colitis would mean a cqnsiderable risk of relapse of her disease. READ MORE
