16. Aspects of maxillary sinus reconstruction with endosseous implants
Abstract : This study of maxillary sinus reconstruction in conjunction with insertion of endosseous implants included 99 patients. Two separate surgical methods were applied; a one-staged strategy (n=49) and a two-staged strategy (n=50). The aims were to compare two different strategies concerning implant and prosthetic construction survival. READ MORE

17. Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty : Effects of Immediate Weight Bearing on Implant Stability, Bone Mineral Density, and Body Composition
Abstract : The initial recommendation for the postoperative regime after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) was 6-12 weeks of partial weight bearing (PWB) to obtain a stable implant position during bone ingrowth. In recent years patients with uncemented THA have increasingly practiced full weight bearing (FWB) after surgery, which has largely been based on clinical experience rather than on scientific evidence.

18. Long term effects of gastric bypass on quality of life and bone mineral density
Abstract : Obesity is a worldwide disease. Surgery is currently the only available management option which offers an adequate long-term effect on comorbidity, quality-of-life and weight loss. It is evident that overweight and obesity are associated with low health-related quality-of life (HRQoL) and multiple comorbidities. READ MORE

19. A prospective chohort study on bone formation and bone loss in ankylosing spondylitis
Abstract : Background and objectives: Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have an increased risk of bone loss with development of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (VFs) but also spinal new bone formation with growth of bony spurs (syndesmophytes) between the vertebrae. Measurements of spinal bone mineral density (BMD) by the routine method dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in anteroposterior (AP) projection can be difficult to interpret due to the spinal new bone formation.

20. Functional Genomics of Bone Metabolism : Novel Candidate Genes Identified by Studies in Chicken Models
Abstract : Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to decreased bone mineral density (BMD), an altered bone micro-architecture and fragile bones. The disease is highly heritable and numerous genes are thought to be involved, making it difficult to identify the causative genetic elements. READ MORE
