  2. 11. New strategies for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with umbilical cord

    Author : Jens Gertow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Umbilical cord blood is enriched in hematopoietic stem cells. For this reason, cord blood units may be utilized for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations when no adult human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐matched donor is found. READ MORE

  4. 12. Unusual vascular responses in the umbilical artery, mediated by endothelin-like receptors

    Author : Maria Laursen; Urogynekologi och reproduktionsfarmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; sexualitet; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; unusual vascular responses; endothelin-like receptors; human umbilical artery; reproduktion;

    Abstract : In this present study the population of endothelin-like receptors in the human umbilical artery was examined in vitro in different parts of the umbilical cord. Immunohistochemistry revealed ETB receptors in the endothelium and an uneven distribution of ETA receptors in the smooth muscle of the arterial wall, when comparing different parts of the umbilical artery.

  5. 13. Investigating the source of free fetal hemoglobin in preeclampsia. The role of the placenta and the fetus

    Author : Zahra Masoumi; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : Preeclampsia pregnancy; Placenta; Umbilical cord blood; Fetal erythropoiesis; Non-erythroid globin;

    Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE) is an important pregnancy complication that affects 3-8% of women worldwide and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is known that PE is associated with placental dysfunction, resulting in hypoxia, oxidative stress, altered metabolism and production of inflammatory cytokines. READ MORE

  6. 14. Fetal surveillance and outcome in postterm pregnancy

    Abstract : To minimize the risk of short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality among children born postterm, studies were performed to evaluate the fetal surveillance program. (1) Male-fetus pregnancies were at an increased risk... READ MORE

    Abstract : Red blood cell (RBC) and iron status biomarkers are commonly used in clinical diagnostics. However, interpretations of infant test results are inherently challenging. READ MORE
