2. 1. Traumatic high-load injuries in the adolescent spine. Clinical, radiological and experimental studies

   Author : Adad Baranto; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Adolescence; athletes; spinal loading; back pain; disc degeneration; growth zone; intervertebral disc; MRI; nucleus pulposus; porcine spine; radiography; spine; vertebral endplate;

   Abstract : Background: Disc degeneration and other radiological abnormalities are highly frequent among young athletes in sports with great demands on the back. It has also been reported that athletes with these abnormalities have more back pain than other athletes and non-athletes. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of high load on the growing spine. Experimental studies anda long-term follow-up of top athletes

   Author : Olof Lundin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Athletes; adolescence; back pain; compression load; disc degeneration; intervertebral disc; radiography; spine; porcine spine; nucleus pulposus; vertebral endplate;

   Abstract : A high prevalence of radiological abnormalities of the spine has been reported in some physically demanding sports. The significance and aetiology of these radiological abnormalities are still a matter of controversy and the long-term effects are not known. READ MORE

5. 3. Low-dose computed tomography of the abdomen and lumbar spine

   Author : Muhammed Alshamari; Håkan Geijer; Seppo Koskinen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tomography; X-Ray Computed; Radiography; Radiation Dosage; Abdomen; Spine; Lumbosacral Region; Regression Analysis; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Radiography is a common radiologic investigation despite abundant evidence of its limited diagnostic value. On the other hand, computed tomography (CT) has a high diagnostic value and is widely considered to be among the most important advances in medicine. READ MORE

6. 4. Pedestrian Shoulder and Spine Kinematics and their Influence on Head Kinematics

   Author : Ruth Paas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PMHS; THUMS; kinematics; spine; head; shoulder; Human Body Model; pedestrian accidents; pedestrian;

   Abstract : Pedestrian to vehicle crashes still represent a major health issue worldwide. In order to prevent fatalities and injuries during the in-crash phase of a pedestrian accident, a sound understanding of pedestrian in-crash kinematics is required and Human Body Models (HBMs) are valuable tools when studying such kinematics.

7. 5. Outcome Assessment in Lumbar Spine Surgery

   Author : Gustavo Zanoli; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatologi; Surgery; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Spinal stenosis; Disc; Questionnaire; Outcome assessment; Lumbar spine; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   Abstract : No consensus regarding outcomes assessment in spine patients exists. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaires are increasingly used. The objective of this thesis was the evaluation of HRQoL measures before and after lumbar spine surgery, and their relation to other evaluation parameters as well as relevance of differences.
