  2. 1. Osteoporosis in women : Epidemiological and diagnostic perspectives

    Author : Owe Löfman; Dan Mellström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : An epidemiological study of 15.462 hip fractures in Östergötland 1940-86 showed a large incidence increase mainly due to an increase in age-specific incidence of trochanteric fractures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Estrogen and raloxifene in experimental arthritis and osteoporosis

    Author : Caroline Jochems; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : rheumatoid arthritis; osteoporosis; estrogen; raloxifene; mice;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT In postmenopausal rheumatoid arthritis (RA), both the estrogen deficiency and the inflammatory disease contribute to the development of generalized osteoporosis. This leads to an increased risk of fracture, with high morbidity and mortality. More than 50% of women with postmenopausal RA suffer from osteoporosis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Estimation of risk in the field of osteoporosis

    Author : Helena Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : osteoporosis; fracture; bone mineral density; ; clinical risk factors; FRAX; Poisson model; 10 year probability; mortality; vitamin D; adiponectin;

    Abstract : Introduction: Osteoporosis has been recognised as an established and well-defined disease that affects more than 75 million people in the United States, Europe and Japan. Osteoporosis has been operationally defined by the WHO on the basis of bone mineral density (BMD) assessment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computerised Microtomography : Non-invasive imaging and analysis of biological samples, with special reference to monitoring development of osteoporosis in small animals

    Author : Mats Stenström; Gudrun Alm Carlsson; Carl Carlsson; Jim Elliot; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Computed microtomography; CμT; signal-to-noise ratio SNR ; non-invasive monitoring; morphological changes; Gastrectomized Sprague-Dawley; osteoporosis; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The use of Computerised microtomography (CμT) in biomedical research is well established, with most applications developed at synchrotron facilities. The possibility to non-invasively monitor morphological changes in biological samples, makes it an attractive technique in biomedicine. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of bone quality and risk assessments in fracture and elective orthopaedic patients

    Author : Camilla Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fracture; Fracture incidence; Epidemiology; Mortality; Osteoporosis; Frailty; Spinal stenosis; Bone quality; Bone mineral density;

    Abstract : Background: Bone quality, bone strength, and bone remodelling are important in many orthopaedic conditions and can have an impact on fracture incidence, bone healing, implant failure, and different outcome aspects. There is relatively sparse information on fracture incidence and mortality both for all fractures compiled and for some of the individual fracture locations. READ MORE
