11. External Growth Control of Baltic Sea Cyanobacteria
Sammanfattning : In the Himmerfjärden Bay a large excess of nitrogen over phosphorus in the discharge from a large sewage treatment plant (STP) has suppressed growth of diazotrophic cyanobacteria in its inner parts. Implementation of nitrogen removal in the STP in 1997 drastically reduced nitrogen load and triggered growth of diazotrophs, mainly Aphanizomenon sp. LÄS MER
12. On the treatment of tibial fractures using the Ilizarov fixator
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to analyse the results of the Ilizarov method in patients with different types of tibial fracture and compare them with conventional methods, in terms of primary union, complication rates, post-operative function, quality of life, and how the patients´ gait was affected during rehabilitation. Fifty-eight patients with isolated diaphyseal fractures (Study I) were randomised to treatment with either the Ilizarov method (IL) or locked intramedullary nailing (IM). LÄS MER
13. On lumbar spine stabilization
Sammanfattning : 71 consecutive posterolateral lumbar fusions without decompression or internal fixation were evaluated with a mean follow-up time of 3.5 (2-7) years. The diagnoses were spondylolysis-olisthesis in 43 cases, degenerative disc disease and/or facet joint arthrosis in 16 cases and pain post laminectomy/ decompression in 12 cases. LÄS MER
14. Surgical treatment of patients with displaced femoral neck fractures : aspects on outcome and selection criteria
Sammanfattning : The optimal treatment for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, i.e. internal fixation (IF), hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip replacement (THR), should be based on the individual patient's age, functional demands and risk profile. LÄS MER
15. Quality of life and femoral neck fractures
Sammanfattning : The worldwide increase of hip fractures is a major challenge for the health care system and society. The treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly is still controversial, and even more so from an international perspective. LÄS MER
