  2. 21. Iodine intake and uptake in populations at risk for iodine deficiency

    Author : Sofia Manousou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; iodine; pregnancy; lactation; bariatric surgery; urinary iodine concentration; thyroglobulin; breastmilk iodine concentration; iodine supplementation; Sweden;

    Abstract : Background: Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Both iodine deficiency (ID) and iodine excess may be harmful. Iodine intake in Sweden is considered adequate for the general population due to iodization of table salt since 1936 but data on pregnant and breastfeeding women (i.e. READ MORE

    Abstract : Reduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the mobility issues persist. READ MORE

  5. 23. Clinical effects of reduced iron content and fortification with bovine lactoferrin in infant formula

    Author : Maria Björmsjö; Staffan K. Berglund; Olle Hernell; Mary Fewtrell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; infant formula; lactoferrin; bovine lactoferrin; iron; iron supplementation; iron fortification; iron status; infant nutrition; cytokines; neurodevelopment; vaccine response; infection-related morbidity; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : Background: Breast milk, with its complex, individual and over time adapting composition, is considered the optimal source of nutrition for infants during the first months of life. Two possible contributing factors to the benefits of breastfeeding compared to infant formula-feeding are the differences in iron and lactoferrin (Lf) concentrations between breast milk and infant formula.

  6. 24. Environmental influences on the behavioural ecology of juvenile salmonids – the importance of rearing density

    Author : Sofia Brockmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rearing density; structural complexity; familiarity; antipredator response; limited attention; social status; growth rate; smolt status; fin erosion; post-release performance; hatchery supplementation; brown trout; Atlantic salmon;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Early environmental conditions are known to influence the phenotypic development of animals, including behavioural alterations. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of density, social stability and structural complexity on growth, behaviour, and survival in the wild, using juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as model species.
