Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Hormone

Her primary scientific interests are in Oxytocin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Stimulation and Breast feeding. Her research integrates issues of Sensory system, Somatostatin, Blood pressure, Prolactin and Breastfeeding in her study of Oxytocin. Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg combines subjects such as Hemodynamics and Hydrocortisone with her study of Blood pressure.

Her research ties Lactation and Internal medicine together. As part of her studies on Endocrinology, Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg often connects relevant subjects like Cholecystokinin. Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg has researched Breast feeding in several fields, including Postpartum period, Endocrine system and Obstetrics.

Her most cited work include:

  • Oxytocin may mediate the benefits of positive social interaction and emotions (765 citations)
  • Early contact versus separation: effects on mother-infant interaction one year later. (268 citations)
  • Postpartum maternal oxytocin release by newborns: effects of infant hand massage and sucking. (252 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Oxytocin, Somatostatin and Cholecystokinin. Her Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neuropeptide and Lactation. Her Oxytocin research integrates issues from Nociception, Glucocorticoid, Blood pressure and Breast feeding.

Her Breast feeding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Breastfeeding and Obstetrics. Her study in Somatostatin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gastrointestinal hormone and Stomach. Her work carried out in the field of Cholecystokinin brings together such families of science as Postprandial and Blood plasma.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (85.57%)
  • Endocrinology (85.25%)
  • Oxytocin (60.66%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Oxytocin (60.66%)
  • Internal medicine (85.57%)
  • Endocrinology (85.25%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg spends much of her time researching Oxytocin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obstetrics and Breast feeding. Her Oxytocin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vaginal atrophy, Anxiety, Hydrocortisone, Stimulation and Gynecology. Her work on Glucocorticoid, Cholecystokinin, Severity of illness and Neuropeptide as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently connected to Suicide attempters, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Her Endocrinology study which covers Physiology that intersects with Bioavailability and Volume of distribution. Her Obstetrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Breastfeeding, Gestational age, Randomized controlled trial and Lactation. Her Breast feeding research incorporates elements of Young adult, Postpartum period, Apgar score and MEDLINE.

Between 2005 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Early contact versus separation: effects on mother-infant interaction one year later. (268 citations)
  • Short-Term Interaction between Dogs and Their Owners: Effects on Oxytocin, Cortisol, Insulin and Heart Rate—An Exploratory Study (180 citations)
  • Self-soothing behaviors with particular reference to oxytocin release induced by non-noxious sensory stimulation. (123 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Psychiatry

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Oxytocin, Breast feeding, Obstetrics, Breastfeeding and Internal medicine. The concepts of her Oxytocin study are interwoven with issues in Anxiety, Hormone, Hydrocortisone, Stimulation and Aggression. Her Breast feeding study combines topics in areas such as Young adult, Postpartum period, Randomized controlled trial and Maternal deprivation.

Her Obstetrics research focuses on Lactation and how it relates to Gynecology. Her Internal medicine study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Endocrinology. Her Heart rate research includes themes of Hemodynamics and Insulin.
