  1. 1. High-grade spondylolisthesis in young patients : Long-term results of in situ fusion

    Författare :Anders Joelson; Per Wretenberg; Karin Frennered; Hans Tropp; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adjacent segment disk degeneration; Fusion in situ; Health-related quality of life; Sagittal balance; Self-image; Spondylolisthesis;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this long-term follow-up of 38 of 40 consecutive patients was to evaluate the results of uninstrumented in situ fusion for high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis three decades after surgery. The mean age at surgery was 14 (range 9-24) years. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Lumbar fusion for chronic low-back pain in isthmic spondylolisthesis

    Författare :Per Ekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exercise; Outcome; Long-term; interbody fusion; spinal fusion; lumbar; Adjacent segment degeneration; Isthmic spondylolisthesis; Degenerative disc disease; Chronic low back pain; predictor; prospective; pain drawing; sciatica; psychologic screening; Randomized controlled trial;

    Sammanfattning : Manifestation of isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS), with a prevalence of 5% in the general population, varies from totally asymptomatic to severe disability. Although fusion has positive short-term effects, the long-term outcome of such treatment, as well as possible accelerated degeneration of adjacent segment discs (ASD) and its clinical significance, are unknown.

  5. 4. Outcome after surgery for isthmic spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease

    Författare :Peter Endler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals with isthmic spondylolisthesis and lumbar degenerative disc disease may have low back and leg pain. Those with persistent symptoms non-responsive to conservative treatment are sometimes treated surgically. Various surgical methods have been introduced, but long-term outcome comparisons are scarce.

  7. 5. Experimental transplantation of retinal and iris pigment epithelial cells into the subretinal space

    Författare :Sven Crafoord; Jan Ulrik Prause; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : A dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the main cause for the development of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and visual loss in elderly people. For about 10 years experimental and clinical attempts to transplant RPE cells have been performed. LÄS MER
