1. On hip fractures in adults under the age of 60
Sammanfattning : The understanding of patients under the age of 60 with hip fractures have been influenced by preconceptions that fractures are due to high-energy trauma and the risk of osteoporosis is low. The patients’ perspectives have seldomly been presented and the surgical results were insufficiently described. LÄS MER
2. Persistent hyperparathyroidism in renal transplant patients
Sammanfattning : Abstract Disorders in mineral metabolism and secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) are well known complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) persists in a majority of patients after kidney transplantation (KTx). LÄS MER
3. The Influence of Physical Activity on Musculoskeletal Characteristics and Fracture Risk at Growth
Sammanfattning : Physical Activity (PA) can improve neuromuscular development. A high level of physical activity can perhaps however lead to more fractures. This is a longitudinal population-based exercise intervention study where the school-based physical education (PE) in one school is increased from mean 60 min/week to mean 200 min/ week. LÄS MER
4. Skeletal Development During the First Three Decades in Life
Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a surrogate estimate of bone strength. The highest value in life is referred to “peak bone mass” (PBM). LÄS MER
5. Body composition and bone density in children and adolescents. Relation to growth hormone
Sammanfattning : The regulation of growth, body composition and bone mineralisation during childhood and adolescence is a complex and multifactorial process. Growth hormone (GH) is essential for normal growth; in addition, it influences bone mineralisation and body composition in both children and adults. LÄS MER
