  1. 16. Testosterone, 17β-estradiol and pubertal growth

    Författare :Anna-Karin Albin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; testosterone; estrogen; pubertal growth; growth hormone treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: It is well established that the interaction of sex steroids with the growth hormone (GH)/ insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis is of major importance in children for normal pubertal growth. However, detailed understanding is still lacking. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Effect of estrogen on longitudinal bone growth

    Författare :Andrei S Chagin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Growth plate; chondrocytes; estrogen receptors; androgen; tamoxifen.;

    Sammanfattning : Longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis of long bones. In the growth plate resting chondrocytes proliferate, differentiate into a hypertrophic form, and finally become terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes before giving rise to bone. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Antonyms in Context : A Corpus-Based Semantic Analysis of Swedish Descriptive Adjectives

    Författare :Caroline Willners; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Nordiska språk språk och litteratur ; Scandinavian languages and literature; WordNet; semantic frameword; semantic network; sentential co-occurrence; semantic range; adjectives; antnoymy; lexical semantics; corpus-based methods; Lexicology; Lexikologi; Grammar; semantics; semiotics; syntax; Grammatik; semantik; semiotik;

    Sammanfattning : How are antonym relations acquired? What types of lexical information can be extracted from corpora and how? How can this information be encoded in a lexicon? The work in this book was developed within the framework of WordNet. A further elaborated lexical model is suggested, as well as methods for implementing it. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Health-Related Quality of Life and Growth Hormone Treatment : Long-term follow-up studies of women with Turner Syndrome and women with osteoporosis

    Författare :Emily Krantz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health-related Quality of Life; Growth hormone; Turner syndrome; Postmenopausal osteoporosis;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction Growth Hormone (GH) is used to increase height in Turner Syndrome (TS), the most common sex-chromosome aberration in women. GH is also beneficial for bone mass. However, little is known about how GH treatment affects Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). LÄS MER

  7. 20. Clinical and genetic studies of three inherited skeletal disorders

    Författare :Eva-Lena Stattin; Göran Roos; Niklas Dahl; Jaakko Ignatius; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skeletal disorders; osteochondritis dissecans; ACAN-gene; multiple epiphyseal dysplasia; brachydactyly type A1; IHH-gene; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Mutations in genes of importance for cartilage development may lead to skeletal malformations, chondroskeletal dysfunction and increased susceptibility to degenerative joint disease. Characterization of these mutations and identification of molecular pathways for the corresponding gene products have contributed to our understanding of mechanisms regulating skeletal patterning, endochondral ossification and joint formation.
