Abstract

To examine and compare the effects of pregnancy on the thyroid hormone homeostasis in two different populations with variable iodine supply. A longitudinal prospective cohort study throughout pregnancy involving Swedish and Sudanese pregnant women. The subjects were enrolled consecutively during their antenatal follow-up at health centres at Nyby in Uppsala, Sweden and Omdurman in Sudan. Fifty-one apparently healthy women from Uppsala, Sweden and twenty-eight pregnant women from Omdurman, Sudan were recruited during pregnancy. The mean age and weight of the Swedish women at the beginning of pregnancy were 29.9+/-5.4 y and 66.3+/-12.9 kg respectively. The corresponding figures for the Sudanese women were 28.0+/-4.9 y and 64.8+/-9.4 kg respectively. Blood samples were drawn on four occasions from the Swedish group at 11-13, 24, 32, and 38 weeks of pregnancy, and on three occasions from the Sudanese group at 10-12, 20-24, and 36-39 weeks. Twenty-four hour urine samples were collected from the same subjects and on the same occasions as blood sampling. The urine samples were kept in a refrigerator until the volumes were measured, after which 20 mL aliquots were taken and kept frozen until analysed. Twenty-four hour urinary iodine ou...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
