  1. 1. The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism and fracture healing

    Författare :Fredrik Nyquist; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; fracture prediction.; fracture healing; bone mineral density; Alcohol; post-traumatic osteopenia; fracture; ortopedi; traumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : The influence of alcohol on bone metabolism, fracture and fracture healing was evaluated in men and male rats by measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical markers and biomechanical testings. Retrospectively, 199 male patients hospitalized for tibia shaft fractures were studied. Forty-nine were judged as problem drinkers. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Diabetic neuropathy clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Per Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :diabetes mellitus; neuropathy; ischaemia; sensibility; thermal sensibility; quantitative sensory testing; mammalian nerve; ouabain; osteopenia; neurophysiology; peripheral nerve; anoxia.;

    Sammanfattning : A classification of impaired thermal sensibility is proposed, reflecting the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy in terms of its regional extension. The classification may be a useful tool in cross-sectional and long-term studies of patients with diabetes mellitus. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Proximal humeral fractures : aspects of treatment with special reference to displaced fractures in the elderly

    Författare :Karol Zyto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :proximal humeralfractures; aged patients; Neer classification; Constant score; long-term follow up; hemiarthroplasty; prospective study; osteopenia; middle- age men.;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to study the clinical and functional outcome after various treatments of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus in an elderly patient group. Conservative treatment consisting of a short period of immobilisation and an early start of active exercises guided by physiotherapy has been compared with different surgical techniques. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pharmacological Modulation of Skeletal Homeostasis

    Författare :Niklas U. Andersson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Farmakologi; toxicology; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; pharmacy; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; peripheral quantitative computed tomography.; dual energy X-ray absorptiomenty; estrogen; parathyroid hormone; gastrectomy; alendronate; ovariectomy; Bone;

    Sammanfattning : Both ovariectomy (OVX) and gastrectomy (GX) cause osteopenia in several animal species including humans. While the effect of OVX has been ascribed to estrogen deficiency, the underlying mechanism behind GX-induced osteopenia is poorly understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bone disease and diabetes mellitus

    Författare :Anna Ugarph-Morawski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Osteoporosis (OP) frequently co-exist with advanced age and imply large health challenges worldwide. The last decades there has been a growing interest regarding fracture risk in DM. Currently used screening methods (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and FRAX) underestimate fracture risk in diabetes patients. LÄS MER
