  2. 1. On loosening and revision in total hip arthroplasty

    Author : Thomas Eisler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aseptic loosening; osteolysis; septic loosening; revision; revision total hip arthroplasty; total hip arthroplasty;

    Abstract : Periprosthetic bone resorbtion (osteolysis) and aseptic loosening constitute the major long-term complication in total hip arthroplasty. It has been suggested that osteolysis is the result of the action of osteoclasts generated by prosthetic wear-debris-triggered macrophages. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development of Real-Time PCR Based Methods for Detection of Viruses and Virus Antibodies

    Author : Amal Elfaitouri; Jonas Blomberg; Helene Norder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; Real-time PCR; broadly targeted PCR; degenerated PCR; rTth DNA polymerase; thermolabile UNG; QPIA; IgM; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) technology has been very useful for diagnosis of viral diseases. QPCR has recently reached a level of sensitivity, simplicity, and reproducibility which allows a large number of samples to be screened rapidly, make it a suitable tool for the clinical virology diagnostics.

  5. 3. Mechanisms of mechanically induced Osteoclastogenesis : in a novel in vitro model for bone implant loosening

    Author : Cornelia Bratengeier; Anna Fahlgren; Per Aspenberg; Mikael Sigvardsson; Oran Kennedy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Total joint arthroplasty is the primary intervention in the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis. Despite the high success rate, in some patients, the replacement will fail during their lifetime requiring a revision of the implant. These revisions are strenuous for the patient and costly for health care. READ MORE

  6. 4. Perioperative Strategies to Prevent Surgical Site Infection After Shoulder Surgery

    Author : Vendela Scheer; Anders Kalén; Lena Serrander; Malin Bergman Jungeström; Maria Lerm; Bo Söderquist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In Sweden, about 18 000 patients undergo shoulder surgery each year. The current surgical site infection (SSI) rate after planned shoulder surgery is 0,3-5 %, which means that approximately 300 people are affected each year in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 5. Wear and Fixation of the acetabular component : in vivo evaluation of different polyethylenes and modes of fixation in total hip arthroplasty

    Author : Stephan Maximilian Röhrl; Kjell Gunnar Nilsson; Bo Nivbrant; Lars Nordsletten; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; total hip arthroplasty; acetabular component; wear; fixation; osteolysis; Radiostereometry; RSA; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; ortopedi; Orthopaedics;

    Abstract : Polyethylene wear and micromotion of the implant play an important role in multifactorial etiology of osteolysis leading to aseptic loosening of the acetabular components. Despite excellent results in primary total hip arthoplasty in a 10-15 year perspective there are still unsolved problems. READ MORE
