1. 6. In vivo and in vitro studies of polyetheretherketone: bone formation, inflammatory response and biofilm formation

   Författare :Sargon Barkarmo; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PEEK; polyetheretherketone; hydroxyapatite; nanotopography; osseointegration; cytokines; biofilms; biomaterials; dental materials; titanium; nanocoated;

   Sammanfattning : In prosthetic dentistry, restorative materials are used to replace missing teeth and tissues, so as to maintain oral functionalities and comfort for the patient. Depending on the clinical problem, metals, ceramics or polymers, are used both in dentistry and orthopedics. LÄS MER

3. 7. Antibacterial Strategies for Titanium Biomaterials

   Författare :Erik Unosson; Ken Welch; Håkan Engqvist; Timo Närhi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium; silver; biomaterial; antibacterial; photocatalysis; hydrogen peroxide; reactive oxygen species; combinatorial materials science; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Titanium and titanium based alloys are widely used in dentistry and orthopedics to replace hard tissue and to mend broken bones. It has become a material of choice due to its low density, high strength, good biocompatibility and its capacity to integrate closely with the bone. LÄS MER

4. 8. Metastatic bone disease

   Författare :Rikard Wedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :cytology; epidemiology; metastatic bone disease; pathologic fracture; prognosis; radiotherapy; skeletal metastasis; surgical therapy; survival; MIB; p53; ER; PgR;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: To evaluate epidemiology, prognosis and diagnostics in metastatic bone disease and identify risk factors for failure after operation for pathologic fracture. Patients: The study was based on patients treated for skeletal metastases, myeloma or lymphoma between 1986 and 1998 at the Oncology Service, Department of Orthopedics, Karolinska Hospital and on patients diagnosed with symptomatic skeletal metastases 1989-1994 in the Stockholm Region.

5. 9. Determinants of outcome in lumbar spinal stenosis surgery

   Författare :Freyr Gauti Sigmundsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lumbar spinal stenosis; outcome; pain; function; health related quality of life; decompression; spinal fusion;

   Sammanfattning : Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative disorder of the spine that predominantly affects the elderly. LSS is the most common spinal disorder leading to surgery in Sweden. Recent randomized controlled studies have showed better outcome with surgery compared to conservative treatment. LÄS MER
