  1. 16. Bone and fat tissue in children and adolescents: studies with focus on osteocalcin

    Författare :Bojan Tubić; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteocalcin; obesity; adiponectin; carboxylation; anorexia nervosa; paediatric; bone turnover markers; bone mass; whole body vibration; muscle;

    Sammanfattning : The general AIM was to investigate the possible interplay between bone and fat tissue through clinical studies of children and adolescents. Osteocalcin (OC), a bone formation marker, has been proposed to act as a link between bone and energy metabolism in mice, but human data are inconclusive. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty

    Författare :Anton Rasch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Osteoarthrosis; arthritis; joint disease; hip muscle strength; hip muscle function; outcome; elderly; attenuation; fatty infiltration; gait analysis; balance;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a common disease among elderly causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Outcome studies have shown total hip arthroplasy (THA) to be a successful surgical procedure. Studies of muscle strength and function after THA are more scarce and results vary. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Skeletal muscle fiber types in man : With special reference to anabolic signaling and mitochondrial bioenergetics

    Författare :Sebastian Edman; William Apro; Filip J Larsen; Abram Katz; Leigh Breen; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mTORC1; THRIFTY; fiber type identification; muscle growth; aging; sarcopenia; mitochondrial function; oxphos; metabolism; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Human skeletal muscle consists of a mixture of slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. The type I fibers are endurance-oriented, with a metabolic system and infrastructure that supports aerobic metabolism. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Muscle Wasting in a Rat ICU Model : Underlying Mechanisms and Specific Intervention Strategies

    Författare :Heba Salah; Lars Larsson; Sven Tågerud; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BGP-15; critical illness myopathy; janus kinase; intensive care unit; mechanical loading; muscle wasting; signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription; ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Critical care has undergone several developments in the recent years leading to improved survival. However, acquired muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an important complication that affects severely ill patients and can prolong their ICU stay. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Physical activity, muscle mass and physical function in older adults

    Författare :Jort Veen; Fawzi Kadi; Andreas Nilsson; Peter Edholm; Anna-Karin Welmer; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Ageing is accompanied by a decline in physical function, including loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, which leads to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living and loss of independence. Physical activity (PA) is currently viewed as a key lifestyle factor with potential to mitigate these age-related deteriorations. LÄS MER
