1. Developing knee joint osteoarthritis: Clinical, radiographical and biochemical features
Sammanfattning : The aim of this project was to study clinical, radiographical and biochemical features of developing, symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) prospectively in individuals aged 35-54 from the general population. A questionnaire to a random sample of 2 000 individuals in the district of Laholm, Sweden, identified 279 individuals (15% of the population) with chronic (>3 months) knee pain. LÄS MER
2. Molecular and clinical studies of cartilage and bone macromolecules in arthritis
Sammanfattning : The pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritides include synovial inflammation and joint tissue destruction. Tissue destruction has traditionally been regarded a consequence of inflammation, but recent observations indicate that the processes are not always closely linked and may proceed uncoupled. LÄS MER
3. Bone alkaline phosphatase isoforms in chronic kidney disease : mineral and bone disorder
Sammanfattning : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular complications. Disturbances in mineral metabolism occur early In study I we identified the novel BALP isoform Blx in 20% of patients with mild to moderate CKD. LÄS MER
4. Vitamin D, bone turnover markers and hCAP-18 in children with hemato-oncological diseases
Sammanfattning : Children with hemato-oncological diseases may have significant skeletal morbidities. Vitamin D is essential for the maintenance of skeletal health and may also be important for immunological functions and cancer outcomes. LÄS MER
5. Novel Insights into Inflammatory Disturbed Bone Remodelling
Sammanfattning : Bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously remodelled, a process that requires equal amounts of osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. Inflammation may disturb the equilibrium and result in local and/or systemic bone loss. Negative bone mass balance occurs in several chronic inflammatory diseases, e.g. LÄS MER
