  1. 6. Predicting mortality by comorbidity for patients with hip arthroplasty: Prospective observational register studies of a nationwide Swedish cohort : Prediktion av död baserat på samsjuklighet efter höftprotesoperation: Prospektiva registerstudier utifrån en nationell svensk kohort

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hip arthroplasty; orthopaedics; shared decision model; epidemiology; prediction model; mortality; comorbidity; R-package; orthopaedics; osteoarthritis; femoral neck fracture; restricted mean survival time;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to osteoarthritis (OA) are usually healthy, some with a remaining lifetime of several decades after surgery. Patients with hip arthroplasty due to a femoral neck fracture (FNF) are often old and frail with 13 % mortality within 90 days of surgery. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Calcium phosphate materials (CaPs) have proven biocompatible and useful in clinical situations. One CaP showing promise in the clinic is alpha phase tricalcium phosphate ([alpha]-TCP). [alpha]-TCP in powder form can be hydrated and undergoes a reaction resulting in calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA). LÄS MER

  5. 9. Metastatic spinal cord compression in prostate cancer : clinical and morphological studies

    Författare :Sead Crnalic; Richard Löfvenberg; Anders Widmark; Anders Bergh; Sten Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; bone metastasis; spinal cord compression; surgical treatment; survival prognosis; early diagnosis; androgen receptor; Orthopaedics; ortopedi; Pathology; patologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Bone metastases occur in most patients with advanced hormone-refractory prostate cancer causing pain, pathologic fractures, and spinal cord compression. Few studies specifically address surgical treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) in prostate cancer. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Subjective Outcomes after Knee Arthroplasty

    Författare :Michael Dunbar; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; Swedish knee arthroplasty register; outcome questionnaire; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Outcome questionnaires are increasingly being established as a validated mode of acquiring unbiased information on the results after health interventions. Using an assortment of questionnaires, distributed by mail to 27 372 and to a subgroup of 3 600 patients on file in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty register (SKAR), relevant questionnaires were found to represent a feasable means of acquiring information regarding these elderly patients in a cross-sectional design.
