  2. 1. Elbow kinematics : studies of the elbow joint under normal conditions and after joint replacement

    Author : Anne Ericson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is used for treatment of patients with severe pain and disability due to reumatoid arthritis. Long term results are not as good as for hip and knee replacements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of locomotor evolution in the Carnivora (Mammalia)

    Author : Ki Andersson; Lars E. Holmer; Lars Werdelin; Margaret E. Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Morphology; Mammalia; Carnivora; Locomotion; Cranial; Elbow joint; Morphology; Morphometrics; Landmarks; Multivariate statistics; Allometry; Ecomorphology; Dental; Body size; Morfologi; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the shape of the distal humerus trochlea is analysed using landmark-based morphometrics and multivariate methods, with the aim of exploring locomotor evolution in carnivorans. Elbow joint morphology is used together with body size and craniodental morphology to characterize past and present carnivorans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Breeding for improved hip and elbow health in Swedish dogs

    Author : Sofia Malm; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Decades of selective breeding to reduce the prevalence of hip and elbow dysplasia(HD and ED) in Swedish dogs, based on phenotypic assessment of radiographic hip status, has had limited success. The prevalence of dysplastic dogs is still high in many large-sized and giant breeds and among the most common causes for euthanasia and costly veterinary care in numerous breeds are joint-related problems.
