  1. 26. 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

  3. 27. A prospective chohort study on bone formation and bone loss in ankylosing spondylitis

    Författare :Anna Deminger; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ankylosing spondylitis; bone mineral density; spinal new bone formation; longitudinal cohort study;

    Sammanfattning : Background and objectives: Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have an increased risk of bone loss with development of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (VFs) but also spinal new bone formation with growth of bony spurs (syndesmophytes) between the vertebrae. Measurements of spinal bone mineral density (BMD) by the routine method dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in anteroposterior (AP) projection can be difficult to interpret due to the spinal new bone formation.

  4. 28. An injectable biphasic bone substitute in sinus augmentation

    Författare :Anna Truedsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dentala implantat; Dental Implants; Bone transplantation; Bone substitutes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns a new synthetic, injectable bone substitute, Cerament™, primarily developed for treatment of vertebral fractures. The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the properties of the newbone substitute, that is, whether it can contribute to the generation of new bone formation needed for placement of future dental implants.

  5. 29. Pharmacoepidemiology and health economics of adherence to pharmaceutical fracture prevention

    Författare :Oskar Ström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by weak bone, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide, predominantly postmenopausal women. The main clinical consequence of the disease is bone fractures and the lifetime risk of any fracture has been estimated at ~55% in Norwegian women. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Low back pain in adolescent athletes

    Författare :Claes-Göran Sundell; Karin Larsén; Håkan Jonsson; Adad Baranto; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adolescence; Ischial Tuberosity; Low Back Pain; Oedema; Pars Interarticularis; Physical Activity; Pseudoarthrosis; Sport Activity; Stress fracture; Stress reaction; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Globally Low back pain (LBP) is one of five leading causes of years lived with disability (YLD), and LBP is a common complaint among adults as well as adolescents and adolescence athletes. During adolescents, the LBP often is considered as non- specific without structural findings and thus not needed to be further diagnosed or treated specifically. LÄS MER
