  2. 11. Genetic and Environmental Influences on Bone and Fractures

    Author : Helene Wagner; Karl Michaëlsson; Håkan Melhus; Nancy Pedersen; Kristina Åkesson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heritability; twin study; osteoporotic fractures; vertebral fractures; balance; bone mineral density; bone area; bone markers; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : Sweden and Norway have the worldwide highest incidence of osteoporotic fractures. As these fractures constitute a tremendous and growing problem, primary prevention is of great importance. The principal causes of an osteoporotic fracture are a fall and a fragile skeleton. READ MORE

  4. 12. Coffee Consumption in Relation to Osteoporosis and Fractures : Observational Studies in Men and Women

    Author : Helena Hallström; Karl Michaëlsson; Alicja Wolk; Anders Glynn; Olle Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Coffee; Tea; Caffeine; Bone mineral density; Osteoporosis; Fractures; Cohort studies;

    Abstract : During the past decades, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures has increased dramatically in the Western world. Consumption of coffee and intake of caffeine have in some studies been found to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, but overall results from previous research are inconsistent.

  5. 13. Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures : A prospective randomized study of clinical outcome, nutrition and costs

    Author : Torsten Johansson; Ola Wahlström; Karl-Göran Thorngren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthroplasty; replacement; hip; adverse effects; economics; fracture fixation; internal; femoral neck fractures; surgery; ossification; heterotropic; etiology; nutritional support; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : Displaced femoral neck fractures comprise more than a third of all hip fractures. There is controversy as to the optimal treatment. Despite attempts to improve the methods for internal fixation, complication rates have been almost unchanged: 20-40% non-union and late segmental collapse in another 10-20%. READ MORE

  6. 14. Following the mevalonate pathway to bone heal alley

    Author : Björn Skoglund; Lars Nordsletten; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Bone screws; coated materials; biocompatible; chemistry; diphosphonates; pharmacology; Equipment failure analysis methods; Femoral fractures; drug therapy; fracture fixation; instrumentation; Fracture fixation; fracture healing; drug effects; simvastatin; tibial fractures; physiopathologyial fractures; surgery; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Other veterinary medicine; Övrig veterinärmedicin;

    Abstract : The mevalonate pathway is an important biosynthetic pathway, found in all cells of virtually all known pro- as well as eukaryotic organisms. This thesis is an investigation into the use of two drugs, originally developed for different applications, but both affecting the mevalonate pathway, in to models of fracture repair. READ MORE

  7. 15. Epidemiological aspects of drug-related vitamin D deficiency and osteoporotic fractures

    Author : Ola Nordqvist; Martin Carlsson; Pär Wanby; Thomas Neumark; Björn Wettermark; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vitamin D; secondary osteoporosis; fractures; drug risk management; medical guideline adherence; electronic health records; real-world data; risk assessment; awareness; attitudes; personalised medicine; cross-sectional study; cohort study; qualitative analysis; thematic analysis; pharmacoepidemiology; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Background: Vitamin D deficiency, secondary osteoporosis and low-energy fractures (LEF) as side effects of specific drugs were first described more than half a century ago. These effects are recognized in guidelines where patients prescribed risk drugs are recommended follow-up with testing and supplementation. READ MORE
