  1. 1. Mild primary hyperparathyroidism - Long-term effects of parathyroidectomy versus observation - with emphasis on skeletal outcomes

    Författare :Karolina Lundstam; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary hyperparathyroidism; parathyroidectomy; observation; vertebral fractures; peripheral fractures; kidney stones; radiography; bone mineral density; dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; mortality;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The majority of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in developed countries today present with no obvious symptoms, i.e. the mild form of the disease. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hypertension, atherosclerosis and fracture risk - observational investigations with focus on antihypertensive therapy

    Författare :Tove Bokrantz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; hypertension; antihypertensive agents; fractures; peripheral arterial disease; bone density;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: To investigate associations between hypertension, arteriosclerotic disease, and fracture risk in adults and the elderly, with a certain focus on how specific antihypertensive drug treatments in patients with high blood pressure might affect the risk for fractures. Methods and results: In Study I and II, the associations between different antihypertensive treatments and fracture risk were investigated in a cohort of about 60. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Influence of Physical Activity on Musculoskeletal Characteristics and Fracture Risk at Growth

    Författare :Fredrik Detter; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BMC; BMD; pQCT; DXA; Fractures; Children; Bone; Muscle;

    Sammanfattning : Physical Activity (PA) can improve neuromuscular development. A high level of physical activity can perhaps however lead to more fractures. This is a longitudinal population-based exercise intervention study where the school-based physical education (PE) in one school is increased from mean 60 min/week to mean 200 min/ week. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Healthy Ageing Initiative : Prevention of falls and fractures

    Författare :Jonas Johansson; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prospective falls; cohort study; fall risk; gait variability; postural stability; physical activity; bone properties; objective measurements; older individuals;

    Sammanfattning : The world is currently experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of older individuals, an amount that is expected to double between 2015 and 2050. This increase will likely affect the prevalence of age-related functional impairments, such as those caused by fractures. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structure and function of trigeminal primary sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury

    Författare :Ulf Bongenhielm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ankyrinG; chronic constriction injury; electron microscopy; electrophysiology; hyperexcitability; immunocytochemistry; inferior alveolar nerve; in situ hybridisation; nerve injury; neuroma; SNS PN3; sodium channel; trigeminal ganglion;

    Sammanfattning : Iatrogenic injuries to branches of the trigeminal nerve are common during surgical procedures in the jaws and teeth, and as the repercussion of facial fractures or certain pathologies. A portion of these patients are left with disturbed sensory functions, and some with unpleasant abnormal sensations, including pain. LÄS MER
