  2. 16. Revision Hip Arthroplasty : Impaction Bone Grafting and Low-Dose CT-Based Measurements of Bone Density and Migration

    Author : Hampus Stigbrand; Gösta Ullmark; Nils Hailer; Per Wretenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Revision Hip Arthroplasty; Bone Grafting; Computed Tomography; Bone Mineral Density; CTMA; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : Aseptic loosening of total hip replacements is always associated with bone defects, either due to removal of the existing implant or osteolysis. Bone defects can be handled during revision surgery with impaction bone grafting (IBG). READ MORE

  4. 17. Effects of Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 on Bone

    Author : Carl-Johan Silfverswärd; Olle Nilsson; Östen Ljunggren; Kenneth Jonsson; Li Felländer-Tsai; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Bone; Osteoblasts; Interleukin-4; Interleukin-13; Knockout; Medicin;

    Abstract : Cytokines play important roles in bone metabolism, participating in the complex interplay necessary for normal bone formation and turnover. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the effects of two anti-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) on bone. READ MORE

  5. 18. Bone and fat tissue in children and adolescents: studies with focus on osteocalcin

    Author : Bojan Tubić; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteocalcin; obesity; adiponectin; carboxylation; anorexia nervosa; paediatric; bone turnover markers; bone mass; whole body vibration; muscle;

    Abstract : The general AIM was to investigate the possible interplay between bone and fat tissue through clinical studies of children and adolescents. Osteocalcin (OC), a bone formation marker, has been proposed to act as a link between bone and energy metabolism in mice, but human data are inconclusive. READ MORE

  6. 19. Effects of antiresorptive agents on inflammation and bone regeneration in different osseous sites - experimental and clinical studies

    Abstract : The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration of titanium implants but also adverse effects of antiresorptive therapies, such as osteonecrotic jaw have been described in the literature. READ MORE

  7. 20. Studies on nutrition, body composition and bone mineralization in healthy 8-yr-olds in an urban Swedish community

    Author : Susanne Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Abstract : Background: The incidence of welfare diseases including overweight in childhood is increasing worldwide. The results from a study of healthy pre-school children showed that in a population with well educated parents 17% of the children were overweight or obese at the age of 4 years. READ MORE
