2. 16. Epidemiological Studies of Preeclampsia : Maternal & Offspring Perspectives 

   Author : Jóhanna Gunnarsdóttir; Anna-Karin Wikström; Sven Cnattingius; Ulf Högberg; Alexander Smárason; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Placental dysfunction; blood pressure; small-for-gestational-age; fetal growth restriction; intrauterine; prenatal exposure; postnatal height gain; linear growth;

   Abstract : Preeclampsia is a placental-related disorder characterized by generalized endothelial activation. Vascular predisposition is associated with the occurrence of preeclampsia and the recurrence risk is substantial. READ MORE

   Abstract : Red blood cell (RBC) and iron status biomarkers are commonly used in clinical diagnostics. However, interpretations of infant test results are inherently challenging. READ MORE

5. 18. Health consequences of adverse fetal growth : studies in twins

   Author : Sara Öberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Findings of associations between birth weight and adult health outcomes have been taken to indicate that fetal growth – and fetal nutrition in particular – may program future health and disease in the developing individual. However, the study of prenatal exposures in humans is challenging, and most of the evidence to support fetal programming thus rests on proxy measures, such as birth weight and birth weight for gestational age.

6. 19. Fetal Outcome in Experimental Diabetic Pregnancy

   Author : Sheller Zabihi; Ulf Eriksson; Michael Welsh; Elisabeth (Lisa) Persson; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Women with pregestational diabetes have a 2-5 fold increased risk of giving birth to malformed babies compared with non-diabetic women. Diabetes-induced oxidative stress in maternal and embryonic tissues has been implicated in the teratogenic process. READ MORE

7. 20. The role of apoptosis in growth plate cartilage during normal and abnormal growth

   Author : Dionisios Chrysis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Apoptosis; growth plate; dexamethasone; cytokines;

   Abstract : Longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate where resting chondrocytes proliferate, differentiate into a hypertrophic form, and finally become terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes before giving rise to bone. Because growth occurs when proliferation exceeds cell death, alterations in cell death by apoptosis, which is essential for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, could affect growth. READ MORE
