Objectives of this Thesis. The aims of this thesis are: 1. To establish reference ranges of serum TSH, FT3 and FT4 at 11-13 weeks’ gestation in a large number of xxxxxxxxx pregnancies with no known thyroid disease and in the absence of anti-thyroperoxidase (anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibodies and to examine the effect of maternal characteristics and serum anti-TPO, anti-Tg and free ß-hCG on the levels of TSH, FT3 and FT4. 2. To examine pregnant women with hypothyroidism treated by levothyroxine and investigate the interrelations between FT3, FT4 and TSH to offer a possible explanation for the finding of the coincidence of high serum TSH in the presence of normal FT4 in such patients. 3. To investigate the possible association between maternal thyroid dysfunction and fetal death by comparing serum TSH, FT4, FT3 and antithyroid antibody levels at 11- 13 weeks’ gestation in pregnancies ending in miscarriage or fetal death with those resulting in normal live births. 4. To investigate if the prevalence of maternal thyroid hypofunction at 11-13 weeks of gestation is higher in pregnancies that subsequently develop PE and if it is whether assessment of thyroid function can improve the prediction of PE provided by a combination of factors in the maternal history and the measurements of MAP and uterine artery PI. 5. To investigate if the prevalence of maternal thyroid hypofunction at 11-13 weeks’ of gestation is higher in pregnancies that subsequently delivered SGA neonates in the absence of PE. 6. To estimate the possible association between maternal thyroid dysfunction and preterm delivery by comparing anti-thyroid antibody positivity and serum TSH and FT4 levels at 11-13 weeks’ gestation, after appropriate adjustments for maternal characteristics, in pregnancies which subsequently resulted in spontaneous delivery before 34 weeks with normal pregnancies delivering after this gestation. 7. To examine the association between maternal serum levels of TSH and hCG in trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and euploid pregnancies at 11-13 weeks, assess any differences in FT4 and FT3 between the three groups and investigate the potential value of TSH in first-trimester screening for aneuploidies. 8. To establish a normal range of serum TSH and FT4 in dichorionic and monochorionic twins at 11-13 weeks’ gestation and compare the values to xxxxxxxxx pregnancies.

Objectives of this Thesis. ‌ The objectives of this thesis can be summarized in three parts 1. To state if the observation that the simulated ionization current peak, always is a few degrees earlier than the measured peak is correct. This is done by model validation in three parts Redoing the experimental verification done at the end of Xxxx-Xxxxxx master thesis. Sensitivity analysis with respect to all parameters that are not considered as cycle-to-cycle specific. 1Crank angle degrees 1.5.

The simulations was done without any heat transfer model. The differ- ence of about 2 CAD between simulated and measured pressure peak location can directly be translated to ionization current peak location. This 2 CAD delay was one of the conclusions in Xxxxxxxxx’s Lic. [2, Fig. 6.5(a)].
