   Author : Anders Lannergård; Göran Friman; Anders Larsson; Uwe Ewald; Jonas Hedlund; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; acute phase proteins; adult; Administration Oral; aminoglycosides; amyloidosis; antibiotics; bacterial infections; body temperature; C-reactive protein; cefuroxime; cystitis; cytokines; elderly; infant; interleukin-6; newborn; pyelonephritis; serum amyloid A protein; virus diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar;

   Abstract : Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is an acute phase protein that has recently gained increasing interest as a potential marker for disease and treatment monitoring. We investigated SAA and CRP levels in (a) patients with various common infectious diseases (n=98), (b) patients with pyelonephritis (n=37) versus patients with cystitis (n=32), (c) healthy individuals of varying ages (n=231), (d) very immature newborn infants with or without nosocomial infections (NIs) (n=72) and (e) patients with bacterial infections treated with cefuroxime (n=81).

4. 2. Skin-to-skin contact and suckling in early postpartum : effects on temperature, breastfeeding and mother-infant interaction

   Author : Ksenia Bystrova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Breastfeeding outcome; early suckling; maternal temperature; mother-child interaction; newborn infant temperature; sensitive period; separation; skin-to-skin contact; swaddling.;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the role of closeness versus separation on infant and maternal temperature adaptation, breastfeeding outcome and mother-infant interaction. In addition, we aimed to study a potential influence of swaddling on all outcomes measured. READ MORE

5. 3. Neonatal water and heat exchange : The influence of environmental factors and infant maturity

   Author : Gunnar Sjörs; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Neonatal; transepidermal water loss; respiratory water loss; radiant heat; heat exchange; water loss; incubators; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

   Abstract : The environment provided by commonly used infant incubators, the effect of radiantheat and exposure to cold air on the exchange of water and heat between newborninfants and their environment, and the water loss through the skin of infants born at24-25 weeks of gestation were investigated. The evaporation of water from the skinwas measured by the gradient method. READ MORE

6. 4. Human newborn behavior during exposure to maternal and other odors

   Author : Heili Varendi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Olfaction appears to play a pivotal role in immediate postnatal interactions between mammalian mothers and their offspring. The present study examined: (1) whether and how the newborn human infant and its mother communicate by means of olfaction; (2) the role of amniotic fluid (AF) and breast odors in such communication; (3) olfactory learning by neonates.

7. 5. Immediate skin-to-skin contact for very preterm and low birth weight infants : from newborn physiology to mortality reduction

   Author : Agnes Linnér; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : There is a contrast between the incidence of low birth weight and the contents and outcomes of neonatal care in high- versus middle- and low-income countries. Most of the neonatal deaths worldwide are attributed to low birth weight, occur within the first three postnatal days and can be prevented without intensive care. READ MORE
