  2. 21. Early life exposures and lung function development

    Author : Björn Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Lung development is a dynamic process, vulnerable to adverse environmental exposures. Starting in utero, development continues postnatally, and although lung structure is mainly set at around two years of age, the maturation process continues into young adulthood. READ MORE

  4. 22. Twin and family studies on the development of cognitive and externalizing problems

    Author : Ralf Kuja-Halkola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cognitive and externalizing problems are responsible for much personal suffering, as well as large monetary costs for society. Intervention and prevention efforts have often failed in reduction of unwanted behaviors, perhaps due to lack of understanding of the development of these complex traits. READ MORE

  5. 23. Epidemiological Studies of Childhood Wheeze - Risk factors and Long-term Outcome

    Author : Emma Goksör; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : children; wheezing; asthma; smoke exposure; gender; antibiotics; fish; paracetamol;

    Abstract : Wheezing with viral infections is common in childhood and both genetic and environmental factors have been reported to influence the risk of subsequent asthma development. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the factors influencing the risk of wheezing at preschool age and the long-term outcome following severe wheezing in early life. READ MORE

  6. 24. Register-based studies of infertility and the use of assisted reproductive techniques : possibilities and challenges

    Author : Chen Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The implementation of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) has enabled over 10 million births in the past 45 years. Concern for excess risks of adverse birth outcomes has largely, but not entirely, been mitigated by practice recommendations for single embryo transfer. READ MORE

  7. 25. Molecular signatures of early life exposures and complex diseases : applications using epigenetics and transcriptomics data

    Author : Simon Kebede Merid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Environmental exposures and early life stressors may influence developmental processes and have long-term health consequences, potentially mediated by molecular mechanisms such as epigenetic modifications. The most extensively studied epigenetic mechanism is DNA methylation, which has been proposed to constitute a link between genetic and environmental factors. READ MORE
