1. 1. Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Periodontal Disease and Conventional Risk Factors in Patients with Stable Coronary Heart Disease

   Författare :Ola Vedin; Claes Held; Emil Hagström; Bertil Lindahl; Mai-Lis Hellenius; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary heart disease; Secondary prevention; Prevention; Periodontal Disease; Tooth loss; Risk prediction; Risk factors; Myocardial infarction; Kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to assess the prevalence and management of established cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and the prevalence and influence of self-reported markers (number of teeth and frequency of gum bleeding) of periodontal disease (PD), a less explored CV risk factor, in patients with stable chronic coronary heart disease (CHD).We studied patients from the global STabilization of Atherosclerotic plaque By Initiation of darapLadIb TherapY (STABILITY) trial (n=15,828), in which patients with stable chronic CHD were randomized to either darapladib or placebo.

3. 2. Tooth loss and prosthetic replacements among persons with dependency and functional limitations

   Författare :Angelika Lantto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to obtain a decision basis for assessments and planning regarding prosthetic treatments for persons with dependency and functional limitations. For this purpose the epidemiology of tooth loss and prosthetic replacements was mapped out, and the patient perspective was reflected in studies performed in Norrbotten County, the northernmost part of Sweden.

4. 3. Early childhood caries in relation to mode of delivery, preterm birth, tooth brushing habits, and signs of the metabolic syndrome

   Författare :Katarina Boustedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; early childhood caries; preterm; caries; cesarean section; the metabolic syndrome; small for gestational age; tooth brushing; oral microbiota;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is defined as the presence of one or more decayed (non-cavitated or cavitated lesions), missing (due to caries), or filled surfaces in any primary tooth of a child under 6 years of age. ECC is highly prevalent in the world and largely untreated in children under the age of 3 years; it shares common risk factors with other non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.

5. 4. Tobacco smoking and vertical periodontal bone loss

   Författare :Mostafa Baljoon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Cigarette smoking is associated with increased prevalence and severity of destructive periodontal disease in terms of periodontal pocketing, periodontal bone loss, and tooth loss. The smoking destructive effect on periodontal bone may be of even "horizontal" or vertical "angular" pattern. LÄS MER

7. 5. A Permanent Magnet Traction Motor for Electric Forklifts : Design and Iron Loss Analysis with Experimental Verifications

   Författare :Yung-Kang Robert Chin; Chandur Sadarangani; Fabio Crescimbini; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the design analysis of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for the traction application in electric forklifts. Within the scope of the study, an existing induction traction motor for electric forklifts benchmarks the expected performances of the proposed PMSM designs, as design specifications. LÄS MER
