  2. 21. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, cyp21a2 deficiency : clinical and physiological aspects of pregnancy, screening and growth

    Author : Sebastian Gidlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The subjects dealt with in this thesis are clinical aspects of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), such as neonatal screening, growth and the incidence of CAH during the last century in Sweden. In addition, we have used CAH as a model system to study possible prenatal effects of androgen exposure on growth and gestational length. READ MORE

  4. 22. 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.

  6. 24. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, CYP21 deficiency, screening and clinical aspects

    Author : Anna Nordenström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Congenital adrenal hyperplasia; 21 -hydroxylase deficiency; CYP21; neonatal screening; 17-OHP; sex-typed behavior; toy play.;

    Abstract : Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of recessively inherited disorders. More than 90% of all cases of CAB are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency. This enzyme deficiency results in reduced ability to synthesize cortisol and aldosterone and at the same time increased secretion of androgens. READ MORE

  7. 25. Neonatal hip instability. The anterior-dynamic ultrasound method. Population screening and re-evaluation of some aetiological factors

    Author : John E. Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip dislocation congenital; ultrasound examination; breech presentation; delivery hormone;

    Abstract : To evaluate neonatal hip instability, the values for the physiologically normal movement of the femoral head by provocation were determined by an anterior-dynamic ultrasound method. The maximal movement of the femoral head with the acetabulum at provocation was 6.0, 6.6 and 6. READ MORE
