  1. 21. Studies on Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement

    Författare :Catarina Marques; Claes Olerud; Anna MacDowall; Martin Skeppholm; Adrian Elmi Terander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cervical radiculopathy; artificial disc replacement; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Sammanfattning : Artificial disc replacement (ADR) was developed as an alternative to anterior fusion after decompression for cervical degenerative radiculopathy. By preserving motion, it was expected to prevent acceleration of adjacent segment pathology (ASP) associated with fusion, and lead to better clinical outcomes. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - aspects of surgical technique

    Författare :Neel Desai; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; Anterior cruciate ligament; Anatomic; Double-bundle; Single-bundle; Laxity; Register; AARSC; Score; Graft failure; Revision; Outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a concept that has gained in interest and it aims to more effectively restore native ACL anatomy and function. Despite extensive research on the topic, the optimal surgical technique to accomplish this is still the subject of debate. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma : clinical aspects and experimental gene transfer studies

    Författare :Bo Björkstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :multiple myeloma; bone marrow transplantation; allogeneic; autologous; prognostic factors; hemato-poietic stem eells; gene therapy; gene transfer; retrovirus; basic fibroblast growth factor;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignant disease considered essentially incurable despite its sensitivity to cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. High-dose chemo/radiotherapy with allogeneic- or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (tx) can induce a disease-free state and may prolong survival and offer an improved quality of life to MM patients.

  5. 24. Chronic Achilles tendon rupture - surgical reconstruction and post-operative outcomes

    Författare :Niklas Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic Achilles tendon rupture; Semitendinosus graft; Tissue sample; Achilles tendon re-rupture; Surgical repair; Gastrocnemius aponeurosis free flap; Health economics; Patient-reported outcome measurements;

    Sammanfattning : When the treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is delayed by more than 4 weeks, the rupture is classified as chronic. This thesis aims to examine the postoperative outcome of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated surgically in terms of long-term functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements, biomolecular changes, and economic cost.

  7. 25. Nerve gap repair by the use of artificial conduits and cultured cells

    Författare :Daniel Kalbermatten; Mikael Wiberg; Ulrich Mennen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose stem cells; cell matrix; fibrin; nerve conduit; nerve gap; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with loss of nerve tissue and require autologous nerve grafts to provide a physical substrate for axonal growth. This thesis investigates the use of fibrin as both a tubular conduit to guide nerve regeneration and also as a matrix material to suspend various regenerative cell types within/on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) nerve conduits.
