2. 1. Studies on maternal body fat distribution in relation to infant outcomes

   Author : Emelie Lindberger; Fredrik Ahlsson; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Ola Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: Overweight and obesity are common amongst pregnant women and associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes for both the mother and the infant. Today, body mass index (BMI), not accounting for body fat distribution, is used for risk stratification during pregnancy. READ MORE

4. 2. Aspects of hypoglycaemia in newborns of diabetic mothers and in children with Type 1 diabetes

   Author : Erik Stenninger; Ingemar Kjellmer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The occurrence and possible causal factors of macrosomia and postnatal hypoglycaemia were investigated in infants of diabetic mothers. Acute neurophysiological effects, the long-term nemodevelopmental outcome, and the use of glucagon in prevention and treatment of hypoglycaemia, were also studied in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and infants of diabetic mothers.

5. 3. Posterior ocular malformations in children : teratological aspects

   Author : Kristina Teär Fahnehjelm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Teratology; ocular malformations; visual impairment; anti-epileptic drugs; congenital infection; optic nerve hypoplasia; coloboma; magnetic resonance imaging; neonatal cholestasis; dried blood spots;

   Abstract : Posterior ocular malformations are common causes of visual impairment in Swedish children. The most frequent diagnoses within this group are optic nerve hypoplasia and optic nerve/chorioretinal coloboma. Genetic factors, teratogens like medical/addictive drugs or congenital infections and unknown factors may cause these malformations. READ MORE

6. 4. Perinatal Energy Substrate Metabolism : Glucose Production and Lipolysis in Pregnant Women and Newborn Infants with Particular Reference to Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

   Author : Barbro Diderholm; Jan Gustafsson; Uwe Ewald; Olle Söder; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Lipolysis; Glucose; Newborn infant; Pregnant women; IUGR; Insulin; Stable isotopes; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

   Abstract : Glucose is the most important fetal nutrient and the production of this substrate increases in the pregnant woman. In the last trimester the increased insulin resistance directs energy substrates to the fetus. Fetal growth is sometimes disturbed, often without an obvious explanation. READ MORE

7. 5. The role of bacterial endotoxin in the immature brain

   Author : Saskia Eklind; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : lipopolysaccharide; hypoxia-ischemia; immature; temperature; cerebral blood flow; blood glucose; inflammation; apoptosis; microarray; preconditioning;

   Abstract : Aim: Epidemiological evidence suggests that infections may increase the vulnerability of the immature brain to further insults. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) on hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the immature rat brain, and to evaluate possible underlying mechanisms of increased sensitivity.
