    Abstract : During pregnancy, 4 - 7% of women suffer from major depressive disorder. When antidepressive treatment is needed, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly used.

  5. 3. Mercury exposure during early human development

    Author : Karolin Ask Björnberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Methylinmercury; inorganic mercury; selenium; human; fetal exposure; infant exposure; pregnancy; placenta; breast milk; fish consumption; dietary advisories;

    Abstract : People are exposed to methylimercury (MeHg) mainly via consumption of fish, especially large predatory fish species. Inhaled mercury vapour (Hg0) released from dental amalgam fillings is the main source of exposure to inorganic mercury (I-Hg). In the body, a small fraction of MeHg is demethylated to inorganic He while most Hg0 is oxidized to Hg2+. READ MORE

    Abstract : The arterial vessels from the umbilical cord spreading over the chorion and its cotyledonary branches constitute the main body of the placental vascular tree. In the present study it was visualized by angiography and related to placental developmental factors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endogenous and Exogenous Drivers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Preeclampsia

    Author : Åsa Nääv; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oxidative stress; Air Pollutants: adverse effects; Placenta; Preeclampsia pregnancy;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE), is a pregnancy related condition afflicting 3-8% of all pregnancies and a main cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is thought to originate from a malfunctioning placental that eventually leads to damage to the maternal endothelium, which in turn gives rise to hypertension and organ dysfunction. READ MORE
