  2. 16. Parathyroid hormone for bone repair and implant fixation - Experiment in rats

    Author : Ralf Skripitz; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PMMA-cement; torque; tensile tesst; Bone conduction chamber; PTH; rats; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Intermittently administered PTH is known to increase bone mass in osteoporosis models. We studied its effects in bone repair and implant fixation, using histological and mechanical techniques in rats. READ MORE

  4. 17. Bone disease and diabetes mellitus

    Author : Anna Ugarph-Morawski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Osteoporosis (OP) frequently co-exist with advanced age and imply large health challenges worldwide. The last decades there has been a growing interest regarding fracture risk in DM. Currently used screening methods (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and FRAX) underestimate fracture risk in diabetes patients. READ MORE

  7. 20. Diabetic neuropathy clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Per Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : diabetes mellitus; neuropathy; ischaemia; sensibility; thermal sensibility; quantitative sensory testing; mammalian nerve; ouabain; osteopenia; neurophysiology; peripheral nerve; anoxia.;

    Abstract : A classification of impaired thermal sensibility is proposed, reflecting the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy in terms of its regional extension. The classification may be a useful tool in cross-sectional and long-term studies of patients with diabetes mellitus. READ MORE
