1. Kidney Function During Ageing and its Association with Bone Mass, Fracture and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures are a major health care challenge both in Sweden and globally. The cost and suffering from osteoporosis are expected to increase since the population of elderly is increasing. Bone health can be affected by altered mineral homeostasis, which in its turn can be affected by reduced kidney function. LÄS MER
2. Vertebral Deformity and Vertebral Fracture in the Elderly
Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis is a systemic, skeletal disease with the consequence of an increased risk of sustaining a fracture, one of the most common fractures being a vertebral fracture. The lifetime risk of sustaining a clinically diagnosed vertebral fracture from age 50 years onward is 8% in men and 15% in women. LÄS MER
3. Femoral neck fractures. Aspects on treatment and outcome

The incidence and number of hip fractures have increased during the recent decades and hip fractures consume considerable health-care resources. LÄS MER
4. Clinical and experimental studies on wear and osteolysis in total joint replacement
Sammanfattning : Total hip arthroplasty is a very successful procedure. Despite this fact, however, a certain portion of patients has to be revised. One major reason for revision is the wear of the polyethylene leading to loosening and osteolysis. LÄS MER
5. Fibrinolysis and blood loss in major arthroplasty. The effect of tranexamic acid
Sammanfattning : Blood loss in major arthroplasty may be abundant and often necessitates blood transfusions. These may transmit disease and entail an immunological burden to the recipient. After trauma and surgery, the fibrinolytic system reacts with a short period of increased activity, followed by a fibrinolytic shut-down. LÄS MER
