  1. 1. Bone turnover markers and prediction of bone loss in elderly women

    Författare :Janaka Lenora; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone turnover markers; DXA; elderly; osteoporosis; scintigraphy; Bone mineral density; quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus; bone loss;

    Sammanfattning : Around 70,000 osteoporosis-related fractures occur in Sweden annually and approximately half of the women in western world will sustain a fragility fracture after the age of 50 years. Fracture preventive efforts require the identification of individuals who are at high risk. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On surgical techniques to reduce morbidity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The significance of harvesting technique, preconditioning, graft choice and the course of bone mineral in the calcaneus

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the study was to reduce undesired postoperative effects, such as anterior knee pain, loss of sensitivity in the knee region and problems with knee-walking after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, prospectively to evaluate the bone mineral in the calcanei before and after ACL reconstruction. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Assessment of skeletal structure by MR relaxometry

    Författare :Torkel B Brismar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :magnetic resonance imaging; bone and bones; osteoporosis;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: More than 40 per cent of all women older than 50 years will suffer from a hip, wrist or vertebral fracture. Most of these fractures are related to bone fragility, osteoporosis. If the disease is diagnosed and treated at an early stage the risk of fracture can be decreased. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Osteoporosis in elderly women in primary health care

    Författare :Helena Salminen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: All the studies are parts of the PRIMOS (Primary Health Care and Osteoporosis) project. Study I investigates the relationship between central Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of the hip and spine and peripheral measurements of the calcaneus using Dual X-ray and Laser (DXL) technique.
