  2. 16. Immune cell composition and cytokine expression in the pregnant and non-pregnant uterus

    Author : Ylva Crona Guterstam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The success of implantation and further development of the embryo is heavily dependent on the endometrial immune cell composition and its ability to communicate with fetal semi-allogeneic trophoblast cells. Although our understanding of the immune cell population in the uterus has improved, its precise role in normal reproduction and reproductive disorders is still not fully resolved. READ MORE

  5. 18. Fertility and female dietary exposure to persistent organochlorine compounds

    Author : Anna Axmon; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin; Public health; epidemiology; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi; Occupational health; DDE; DDT; dioxins; polychlorinated biphenyls; persistent organochlorine compounds; stillbirths; miscarriages; Fertility; time to pregnancy;

    Abstract : Persistent organochlorine compounds (POC), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxins, are long-lived and highly lipophilic compounds which are present in all biota today. In Sweden, one of the major exposure routes for POC is through the consumption of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea, which is off the east coast of Sweden, and one of the most highly exposed populations is the fishermen's wives and sisters from the east coast.

  6. 19. Identification of novel BRCA2-binding proteins that are essential for meiotic homologous recombination

    Author : Jingjing Zhang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; meiosis; DSB; cancer; BRCA2; MEILB2; BRME1; HR; RAD51; DMC1; DDR;

    Abstract : Meiotic recombination is a molecular process in which the induction and repair of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) creates genetic exchange between homologous chromosomes and thus increases genetic diversity and ensures chromosome segregation. Breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) is a potent cancer suppressor and is required for DSB repair by homologous recombination (HR) in mitosis. READ MORE

  7. 20. Consequences of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis

    Author : Maria Cederholm; Karel Marsal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Prenatal diagnosis; malformations; lung; labor; amnion; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and Gynaecology; obstetrik och gynekologi;

    Abstract : Amniocentesis (AC) and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are the principal methods for fetal karyotyping. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate psychological reactions and risks associated with the procedures.A semi-randomised study was made on 321 women, where AC (147) and CVS (174) at 10-13 weeks’ gestation were done trans-abdominally.
