   Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension leading to hypoxemia is a potentially life-threatening condition in pediatric intensive care. Hypoxemia may also result from conditions not primarily related to pulmonary hypertension. READ MORE

4. 2. Consequences of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis

   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.

5. 3. Function and morbidity of the esophagus and respiratory system in the growing child with esophageal atresia

   Keywords : esophageal atresia; lung function; pulmonary function; pH-metry; PPI; anastomotic stricture; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

   Abstract : Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital malformation that consists of various degrees of discontinuity of the esophagus and affects about 1:3000 live births. EA is usually corrected at birth with survival rates over 90%, which has shifted the focus towards improvement of associated morbidity and health-related quality of life. READ MORE

6. 4. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

   Author : Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

   Abstract : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. READ MORE

7. 5. Long-term follow-up in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia

   Author : Elin Öst; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental defect which occurs in approximately 1 per 3000 births. The incomplete development of the diaphragm early in gestation allows abdominal viscera to herniate into the thoracic cavity. The malformation differs in size and can occur on either one or both sides, but most commonly on the left. READ MORE
