1. 1. Periprosthetic Joint Infection : – prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

   Författare :Hannah K. Eriksson; Stergios Lazarinis; Theofilos Karachalios; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periprosthetic joint infection; PJI; Total hip arthroplasty; THA; Total knee arthroplasty; TKA; Total joint arthroplasty; TJA; Debridement antibiotics and implant retention; DAIR; Staphylococcus spp.; Coagulase-negative Staphylococci; Staphylococcus aureus;

   Sammanfattning : Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication that may occur after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). In addition, PJI has a devastating impact on the patient's quality of life. Therefore, it is imperative to increase our knowledge of PJI prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. LÄS MER

3. 2. Developing knee joint osteoarthritis: Clinical, radiographical and biochemical features

   Författare :Ingemar Petersson; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone markers; cartilage markers; WOMAC; SF-36; function; health status quality-of-life; radiography; epidemiology; knee pain; Knee joint; osteoarthritis; bone scan; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this project was to study clinical, radiographical and biochemical features of developing, symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) prospectively in individuals aged 35-54 from the general population. A questionnaire to a random sample of 2 000 individuals in the district of Laholm, Sweden, identified 279 individuals (15% of the population) with chronic (>3 months) knee pain. LÄS MER

4. 3. Sensory Aspects of Knee Injuries

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatologi; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; orthopaedics; Surgery; knee injuries; knee joint; threshold; anterior cruciate ligament; proprioception;

   Sammanfattning : Proprioceptive ability was estimated in different groups of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury as well as in different groups of healthy uninjured individuals. In study I, patients with poor outcome of the ACL injury – i.e. LÄS MER

5. 4. Total knee arthroplasty : aspects on improved fixation in the younger patient

   Författare :Anders Henricson; Kjell G Nilsson; Tore Dalén; Sören Toksvig-Larsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Surgery; Total knee arthroplasty; total knee replacement; mobile bearing; trabecular metal; hydroxy-apatite coating; Kirurgi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   Sammanfattning : The results of total knee arthroplasty are inferior in younger patients. The challenge today is therefore to develop designs and concepts that will last at least 25 years. This thesis has evaluated the fixation to bone of modern designs of knee prostheses uring RSA analysis. LÄS MER

7. 5. Neuropeptides and neurotrophins in arthritis : studies on the human and mouse knee joint

   Författare :Ola Grimsholm; Sture Forsgren; Solbritt Rantapää-Dahlqvist; Elvar Theodorsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropeptides; neurotrophins; bombesin gastrin-releasing peptide; substance P; brain-derived neurotrophic factor; synovial tissue; knee joint; rheumatoid arthritis; Anatomy; Anatomi;

   Sammanfattning : Neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP) and bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (BN/GRP), and neurotrophins are involved in neuro-immunomodulatory processes and have marked trophic, growth-promoting and inflammation-modulating properties. The impact of these modulators in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is, however, unclear. LÄS MER
