Kessler, Jorg, Rasmussen, Svein, Godfrey, Keith, Hanson, Mark, Kiserud, Torvid
Eighty to 85% of the venous perfusion to the fetal liver is from the umbilical vein, the rest from the portal vein. Umbilical venous flow to the liver is essential for intrauterine growth, and is...
Eide, Britt, Nilsen, Anne, Rasmussen, Svein
Abstract Background Earlier studies indicate that midwife-led birth settings are associated with modest benefits, including reduced medical interventions and increased maternal satisfaction. The...
Ebbing, Cathrine, Rasmussen, Svein, Godfrey, Keith M., Hanson, Mark A., Kiserud, Torvid
Objective: To establish longitudinal reference ranges for the fetal superior mesenteric artery (SMA) flow velocity and pulsatility index (PISMA). Also to examine the hemodynamic relationship to...
Fetal age assessment based on 2ndtrimester ultrasound in Africa and the effect of ethnicity (2008)
Salpou, Daniel, Kiserud, Torvid, Rasmussen, Svein, Johnsen, Synnøve
Abstract Background The African population is composed of a variety of ethnic groups, which differ considerably from each other. Some studies suggest that ethnic variation may influence dating. The...
Johnsen, Synnøve L, Wilsgaard, Tom, Rasmussen, Svein, Hanson, Mark A, Godfrey, Keith M, Kiserud, Torvid
Abstract Background Conventionally, the pregnancy duration is accepted to be 280–282 days. Fetuses determined by ultrasound biometry to be small in early pregnancy, have an increased risk of...
Kessler, Jorg, Rasmussen, Svein, Godfrey, Keith, Hanson, Mark, Kiserud, Torvid
Recent data suggest that umbilical venous perfusion of the fetal liver has an important influence on fetal growth and postnatal liver function, and that maternal factors in late pregnancy modify this...
Caesarean section among relatives (2008)
Tollånes, Mette C, Rasmussen, Svein, Irgens, Lorentz M
Background Caesarean section rates are increasing. It is not clear whether a familial predisposition to caesarean section exists. Methods Births registered in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway...
Abruptio placentae – relationship with other placental dysfunction related conditions (2007)
Objective: To investigate newborns’ sizes associated with abruptio placentae (AP) and to assess the association of a history of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and low birth weight with the...
The effects of smoking and hypertensive disorders on fetal growth (2006)
Rasmussen, Svein, Irgens, Lorentz M
Abstract Background It is well known that smoking and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) are associated with decreased fetal growth. It has been reported that in preeclampsia the fetal growth...
The effects of smoking and hypertensive disorders on fetal growth (2006)
Rasmussen, Svein, Irgens, Lorentz M.
Background: It is well known that smoking and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) are associated with decreased fetal growth. It has been reported that in preeclampsia the fetal growth deficit...
Fetal and maternal contributions to risk of pre-eclampsia: population based study
Lie, Rolv Terje, Rasmussen, Svein, Brunborg, Helge, Gjessing, Håkon K, Lie-Nielsen, Erik, Irgens, Lorentz M
Objective: To use familial patterns of recurrence of pre-eclampsia to investigate whether paternal genes expressed in the fetus contribute to the mother’s risk of pre-eclampsia and whether...

Pregnancy outcome in women before and after cervical conisation: population based cohort study
Albrechtsen, Susanne, Rasmussen, Svein, Thoresen, Steinar, Irgens, Lorentz M, Iversen, Ole Erik
Objectives To examine the consequences of cervical conisation in terms of adverse outcome in subsequent pregnancies.
