6. Healing of endosseous implants with different surface characteristics in grafted and non-grafted bone : clinical and experimental studies
Abstract : Aims: This study uses radiological and clinical evaluations of the healing of endosseous titanium implants presented with different surface characteristics in the clinical situation (paper I-III) and experimentally to describe the early bone healing in maxillary sinus membrane elevation with and without the use of grafting material (paper IV).Material and methods: In paper I, 136 patients were treated with 394 dental implants – 199 were oxidized titanium implants (Nobel Biocare TiUnite) and 195 were turned titanium surface implants (Nobel Biocare Mark III).

7. Mechanism of conditional repression of human osteocalcin gene activity by glucocorticoids
Abstract : Bone is one of the major target sites of steroid hormone action. Steroid hormones like cortisol, vitamin D and estradiol are responsible for principle events associated with bone formation and resorption. READ MORE

8. Experimental studies on the effects of insulin-like growth factor I and glucocorticoids on bone metabolism
Abstract : Osteoporosis is a major cause of disability among patients that are dependent on glucocorticoids in the treatment of inflammatory disease. The pathogenesis behind this side effect is complex, involving dysregulation of hormonal systems and direct effects on bone cells. READ MORE

9. Bone density, bone geometry and bone development in young men - the importance of pubertal timing and fracture history
Abstract : Background and objective: Peak bone mass, the maximal bone mass attained in young adulthood, is an important factor of the lifetime risk of developing osteoporosis. The aim of this thesis was to study the development of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone geometry around the time of peak bone mass in men, and also to investigate the association between pubertal timing, fracture history, bone turnover markers and BMD and bone geometry in young men.

10. Early-life metal exposure and child growth and development
Abstract : Cadmium, lead and arsenic are toxic metals, the exposure to which occurs primarily through food and drinking water. While many studies are available about their health effects in adults, studies in children and adolescents are more limited, especially for cadmium. READ MORE
