  2. 1. Aseptic Loosening of Orthopedic Implants : Osteoclastogenesis Regulation and Potential Therapeutics

    Author : Mehdi Amirhosseini; Anna Fahlgren; Göran Andersson; Teun J. de Vries; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Aseptic loosening is the main cause of failure of orthopedic prostheses. With no pharmaceuticals to prevent or mitigate periprosthetic bone degradation, a surgery to replace the loose implant with a new one is the only choice to restore patients’ function. READ MORE

  4. 2. Perioperative blood saving techniques with coagulative evaluation in orthopedic surgery

    Author : Gustav Ekbäck; Anders Bengtsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Allogeneic blood transfusion, although often needed in major surgery with large per-and postoperative bleeding, is fraught with dangers such as clerical mishandling, immunosuppression and blood-borne infections. It is therefore important to find ways to avoid allogeneic blood transfusion by means of less bleeding, better tolerance of the bleeding or alternatives to allogeneic blood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prospective Applications of Microwaves in Medicine : Microwave Sensors for Orthopedic Monitoring and Burn Depth Assessment

    Author : Syaiful Redzwan Mohd Shah; Robin Augustine; Taco Johan Blokhuis; Luca Roselli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microwave sensors; split ring resonator; biomedical application; orthopedics; lower extremity injuries; craniosynostosis; burn assessment; clinical measurements; tissue dielectric properties; phantom; Engineering Science with specialization in Microwave Technology; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrovågsteknik;

    Abstract : In recent years, the use of microwave techniques for medical diagnostics has experienced impressive developments. It has demonstrated excellent competencies in various modalities such as using non-ionizing electromagnetic waves, providing non-invasive diagnoses, and having the ability to penetrate human tissues within the GHz range.

  6. 4. Aspects of retrospective record review : - A matter of patient safety

    Author : Kristina Schildmeijer; Joep Perk; Lena Nilsson; Kristofer Årestedt; Rune Sjödahl; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vårdvetenskap; Caring Science;

    Abstract : Background: Health Care is of great value but despite increased efforts to improve patient safety, many patients still suffer harm caused by healthcare, and even more patients have encountered incidents that could have caused harm. Adverse events can be detected by using retrospective record review. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interactive 3D Image Analysis for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning and Orthopedic Applications

    Author : Johan Nysjö; Ingela Nyström; Filip Malmberg; Ida-Maria Sintorn; Jayaram K. Udupa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; medical image analysis; interactive segmentation; volume rendering; computed tomography; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Abstract : Modern medical imaging devices are able to generate highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of the skeleton. Computerized image processing and analysis methods, combined with real-time volume visualization techniques, can greatly facilitate the interpretation of such images and are increasingly used in surgical planning to aid reconstruction of the skeleton after trauma or disease.
