  1. 1. Degenerative cervical myelopathy: Surgical treatment, imaging evaluation, and outcome

    Författare :Eddie de Dios Perez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cervical spondylotic myelopathy; decompression and fusion; degenerative cervical myelopathy; EMS; muscle-preserving laminectomy; MRI; P-mJOA; sagittal alignment; surgical outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord impairment in adults worldwide. The overall aims of this thesis were to compare patient-reported clinical outcomes, adverse events, and cost-effectiveness between decompression alone and decompression with fusion; evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based sagittal alignment measurements; determine postoperative improvement rates and potential predictors of surgical outcome; and compare the patient-derived modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (P-mJOA) scale with the European Myelopathy Score (EMS) for the assessment of DCM.

  3. 2. Prognostic factors for whiplash associated disorders

    Författare :Eric Rydman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Disability and chronic pain secondary to low- speed vehicle collisions has been a known condition since the nineteenth century. Today, whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are the most common personal injuries reported to insurance companies after motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement

    Författare :Catarina Marques; Claes Olerud; Anna MacDowall; Martin Skeppholm; Adrian Elmi Terander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cervical radiculopathy; artificial disc replacement; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Sammanfattning : Artificial disc replacement (ADR) was developed as an alternative to anterior fusion after decompression for cervical degenerative radiculopathy. By preserving motion, it was expected to prevent acceleration of adjacent segment pathology (ASP) associated with fusion, and lead to better clinical outcomes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Spinal column and hip joint changes, and their correlation to back pain in young athletes - Radiological and Clinical Studies

    Författare :Wisam Witwit; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sports Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Young athletes are at increasing risk for spinal column injuries and back pain due to excessive sporting activities, with potential development of complications like spinal canal stenosis and chronic back pain later in life. Increased knowledge is necessary in order to make the correct diagnosis and to be able to adapt the appropriate preventive measures, rehabilitation programs, and treatments accordingly. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Dentoalveolar and craniofacial changes from early adolescence to late adulthood

    Författare :Nameer Al-Taai; Anna Westerlund; Maria Ransjö; Eva Levring Jäghagen; Timo Peltumäki; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Craniofacial growth; age-related changes; cephalometric superimposition; serial extraction; lower incisor crowding; odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: Study I: To evaluate the reliability and validity of different superimposition methods and to increase the precision with which craniofacial growth and treatment can be quantified. Study II: To explore the craniofacial changes that occur from early adolescence to late adulthood. LÄS MER
