  2. 6. Maternal and placental inflammatory biomarkers in spontaneous preterm delivery - Predictive ability, stability and neonatal associations

    Author : Panos Tsiartas; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Preterm birth; Prediction; Multiplex; Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity; Histological chorioamnionitis; Neonatal outcome; Cytokine stability; Interleukin-6 IL-6 ;

    Abstract : Preterm delivery (PTD), spontaneous or iatrogenic, causes short- and long-term morbidity and underlies almost 75% of neonatal deaths. The prevalence in the Nordic countries is about 6% but it differs among countries. In the USA, for instance, it is around 9.6%. READ MORE

  4. 7. Neonatal respiratory control : inspiration, inflammation and the prostaglandin E2 pathway

    Author : Veronica Siljehav; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Immature or deficient autonomic control is a common problem in infants born at a premature age, and is of central importance in apneas. The pre- and perinatal development of the brainstem neural circuits that control autonomic functions is vital for survival after birth and for the regulation of breathing movements. READ MORE

  6. 9. Perinatal Staphylococcus epidermidis infection and the immature brain: a neuroinflammatory link

    Author : Giacomo Gravina; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; S. epidermidis; neonatal brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; microglia; neuroinflammation; S. epidermidis; neonatal brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; microglia; neuroinflammation;

    Abstract : Preterm birth and its associated complications are among the most serious global health issues that modern society faces. Due to the prolonged medical care and immature immune system, preterm infants have a higher susceptibility to infections, which puts them at a higher risk of developing neurological impairments as well as neurodevelopmental diseases.

  7. 10. Every bug counts : neonatal colonization and infection of Gram-negative bacilli : aspects on antibiotic resistance in Sweden and Ecuador

    Author : Viveka Nordberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neonatal infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gramnegative bacilli are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In order to perform targeted preventive interventions against the impacts of antibiotic resistance in neonates, it is crucial to study colonization, infection and the spread of EPE-bacteria. READ MORE
