2. 1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality

   Author : Christina Book; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fat mass; bone mass; lean mass; body composition; mortality; rheumatoid arthritis; predictors;

   Abstract : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. READ MORE

4. 2. An Average Female Head-Neck Finite Element Model with Reflexive Neck Muscles

   Author : I Putu Alit Putra; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element; Human Body Model; Whiplash Injury; Active Neck Muscle;

   Abstract : Several factors potentially contribute to the risk of whiplash injuries; one of them is the neck muscle activities. Muscle activities in the neck have been shown to influence the head-neck kinematics during whiplash-like rear impacts. READ MORE

5. 3. Bone Mass from Childhood to Adulthood

   Author : Christian Buttazzoni; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone Mass Peak Bone Mass Childood Adulthood;

   Abstract : Attaining high peak bone mass (PBM), the highest bone mass value in life which is reached in young adulthood, is important as it reduces the risk of having low bone mass in old age69, 80. Low bone mass is associated with high fracture risk3, 60. Osteoporosis is the result of bone loss, a physiological process related to aging and/or low PBM. READ MORE

6. 4. Analytical method development in liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry based metabolomics

   Author : Ida Erngren; Mikael Hedeland; Curt Pettersson; Torbjörn Arvidsson; Gérard Hopfgartner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Analytical pharmaceutical chemistry; metabolomics; liquid chromatography; mass spectrometry; hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Metabolomics is the analytical field which aims at analyzing all small molecules, metabolites, in a biological system simultaneously. Currently no analytical methods are able to capture the entire metabolome, therefore, the analytical methods are often developed to be as general as possible. READ MORE

7. 5. Impact of disease and treatment on body weight and eating in patients with head and neck cancer : experiences from a multicenter study

   Author : Sandra Ottosson; Göran Laurell; Cecilia Olsson; Björn Zackrisson; Elisabeth Kjellén; Antti Mäkitie; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head and neck cancer; weight loss; body mass index; tube feeding; radiation therapy; survival; treated volume; swallowing dysfunction; patient experience.; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology;

   Abstract : Background Nutritional deterioration in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) has a multifactorial etiology mainly associated with tumor and treatment related factors. The objective of the present thesis was to investigate the impact of the disease and treatment on body weight and eating in patients with HNC treated with radiation therapy (RT) as the single modality treatment or as preoperative RT by analyzing body weight and body mass index (BMI) over time, predictive factors for weight loss and BMI, weight loss and BMI as prognostic factors for survival, and by studying the patients’ own experience of food and eating.
