  1. 1. Tall stature : morbidity, mortality and treatment outcomes

    Författare :Emelie Benyi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Tall stature is usually constitutional. In some cases excessive growth is caused by early puberty and in others by growth disorders such as Marfan syndrome or pituitary gigantism. Some individuals experience a substantial negative psychosocial impact from being tall which can cause them and their families to seek medical attention. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effect of estrogen on longitudinal bone growth

    Författare :Andrei S Chagin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Growth plate; chondrocytes; estrogen receptors; androgen; tamoxifen.;

    Sammanfattning : Longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis of long bones. In the growth plate resting chondrocytes proliferate, differentiate into a hypertrophic form, and finally become terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes before giving rise to bone. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Foot lesions in diabetic patients aged 15-20 years : a population-based study

    Författare :Bengt Borssén; Folke Lithner; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; Foot deformities; Sensory threshold; M. extensor digitorum brevis;

    Sammanfattning : Foot problems are not only the most common but in general also the most severe of the diabetic complications. The age group 15-50 yrs in this study was chosen because these patients were considered to be at their most active age and were felt to require optimal foot function. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Estrogen actions in the growth plate cartilage

    Författare :Maryam Iravani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens may influence bone growth locally or systemically via the estrogen receptors alpha (ERα), beta (ERβ) and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER-1). In Paper I, our study showed that the treatment of ovariectomized C57BL/6 mice with a selective ERα agonist 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-propyl-1H-pyrazole (PPT) reduced growth plate height and hypertrophic zone height suggesting that the effect was induced via ERα.

  7. 5. Risk factors for fractures - a link between metabolic bone disease and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Penelope Trimpou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Risk factors; General population; Physical activity; Sex hormones; Cholesterol; Stroke; Fracture;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Fractures and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a burden to society, as they result in high morbidity and mortality in both men and women. Aim: The aim was to study prospectively modifiable risk factors for fractures in the general population and to possibly identify a link between metabolic bone disease and CVD. LÄS MER
