<br>
Objective: This study investigated possible associations between selected maternal and fetal
characteristics and PM ...
Contamination index. A novel parameter for metal and pesticide analyses in maternal blood and umbilical cord
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07)
PURPOSE:<br>
To evaluate the contamination index of metals and pesticides in pregnant women, and to relate this to perinatal outcomes. <br>

Social correlates of term small for gestational age babies in a Russian Arctic setting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-29)
<b>Background.</b> Small for gestational age (SGA) births have been associated with both short- and long-term
adverse health outcomes. Although social risk factors for SGA births have been studied earlier, such data are
limited from Northern Russia.<br>
<b>Objective.</b> We assessed maternal social risk factors for term SGA births based on data from the population- 20 based Murmansk County Birth ...
Factors associated with maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines: A descriptive study of parous women in Norway and Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
<b>Introduction</b><br>
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and organochlorines (OCs) are ubiquitous and persistent
in the environment and proposed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). They can be
transferred across the placenta during pregnancy, and studies suggest that the prenatal
period may be particularly sensitive for influences on fetal growth and development. Several
studies have ...
Maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines and indices of fetal growth: a Scandinavian case-cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-26)
<b>Background:</b> The associations between prenatal exposure
to endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs) and fetal growth are
inconsistent, and few studies have considered small-for-gestational-age
(SGA) birth as an outcome. Our current study of
Scandinavian parous women aimed to address these inconsistencies
and gaps in the literature.<br>
<b>Methods:</b> This case–cohort study included 424 ...
Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Association with Maternal and Infant Thyroid Homeostasis: A Multipollutant Assessment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01)
Background:<br>Disruption of thyroid homeostasis has been indicated in human studies targeting
effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Influence on the maternal thyroid system by POPs
is of special interest during pregnancy because such effects could impair infant thyroid homeostasis.<br>
Objectives:<br>We investigated the association between POPs and thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) ...

Key indicators of obstetric and neonatal care in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-13)
In the absence of a medical birth registry, the official statistics are the only sources of information about pregnancy outcomes in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (RS). We analysed the official statistical data about birth rate, fertility, infant and maternal mortality in the RS in the period 2003-2014.
Compared with all- Russian data, the RS had a higher birth rate, especially in rural districts. ...
