    Abstract : In the thesis are analyzed the combined effects of maternal characteristics and cigarettesmoking in pregnancy on foetal growth; and potential interactions with maternalanthropometry, haemoglobin levels in the three trimesters and maternal glucose metabolismin late pregnancy. Foetal growth was assessed through serial ultrasound measurementsfrom second trimester until term and by neonatal anthropometry. READ MORE

    Abstract : The development of real-time ultrasound in the 1970's made indelible inpact on antenatal care. Assessing foetal growth and detecting deviations from normal in both growth and foetal anatomy became fesible. Expectant parents could also 'see' their foetus. READ MORE

    Abstract : Mammalian pregnancy is an immunological paradox. The foetus, which expresses both paternal and maternal cell-surface molecules, has to be protected from rejection by the maternal immune system. At the same time, the mother has to have an efficient immune defence and must provide her offspring with antibodies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cervical ripening : an inflammatory process involving cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin

    Author : Maria Sennström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cervical ripening; interleukin-8; interleukin-6; granulocyte colony stimulating factor; metalloproteinase- 1; -3 - and -8; foetal fibronectin;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to identify cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin in human cervical tissue and to investigate if changes are of importance for the final cervical ripening. The human cervical ripening is a prerequisite for a normal start and progress of labour. READ MORE
