  4. 23. Long-term effects of growth hormone replacement in hypopituitary adults on body composition, bone mass and cardiovascular risk factors

    Författare :Mariam Elbornsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; growth hormone deficiency; growth hormone replacement; bone mineral density; body composition; muscle strength; elderly; cardiovascular risk factors; pituitary irradiation;

    Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) deficient (GHD) adults have decreased bone mass and muscle strength, impaired body composition, disturbed serum lipid pattern and increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. GH replacement normalizes most of these aberrations within the first year of treatment. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Effects of anabolic hormone treatment in elderly patients with hip fracture

    Författare :Margareta Hedström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hip fracture; IGF-I; lean body mass; BMD; anabolic steroids; growth hormone.;

    Sammanfattning : The principal aims of these studies were to investigate the status of hip fracture patients regarding BMD, body composition and some nutritional factors at the time of the fracture and changes in these variables during the postoperative period. A further aim was to determine whether anabolic hormone treatment could had any beneficial effects after a hip fracture. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Epidemiological studies of stillbirth and early neonatal death

    Författare :Olof Stephansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fetal death; neonatal death; body mass index; weight gain; hemoglobin; socioeconomic factors; fetal growth retardation; gestational age; birth interval; risk factors;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate risk factors for stillbirth and early neonatal death. The associations between matemal weight, weight gain during pregnancy, hemoglobin concentration, socioeconomic status and stillbirth risk were assessed in case-control studies nested within the Swedish Medical Birth Register.
