    Abstract : The history of surgery is nearly as old as the human race. Control of wound infection has always been an essential part of any surgical procedure, and is still an important challenge in hospital operating rooms today. For patients undergoing surgery there is always a risk that they will develop some kind of postoperative complication. READ MORE

  4. 12. Outcome in patients with trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures : aspects on surgical methods, quality of life and cognitive function

    Author : Ricard Miedel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Trochanteric fractures;

    Abstract : A hip fracture is a significant cause of increased morbidity and mortality in elderly people and Scandinavia presents the highest incidence of hip fractures worldwide. The hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis which demands acute surgery with a high risk of complications and a threat to a continued independent living. READ MORE

  5. 13. The impact of tobacco use on postoperative complications

    Author : David Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Smoking; snus; obesity; postoperative complication; appendectomy; hernia; smoking cessation; cohort studies; randomised controlled trials.;

    Abstract : In almost every field of surgery, there have been several reports of an increased frequency of wound healing complications among smokers. There is also evidence of a dramatic drop in the complication rate if a smoking cessation intervention is started 6 8 weeks ahead of orthopaedic surgery. READ MORE

  6. 14. Posterior capsule opacification : An experimental study in vitro and in vivo

    Author : Niklas Wallentin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Posterior capsule opacification PCO ; after-cataract; lens epithelial cell; proliferation; aqueous humor AqH ; inflammation; growth factors; basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF ; transforming growth factor-β TGF-β ; extracapsular cataract extraction; corneal incision; rabbit; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : The clinical and economic significance of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) makes it an important public health problem. A better understanding of the pathogenesis in order to reduce/prevent PCO is needed. For this purpose an experimental model in the rabbit was used and further developed in thisthesis. READ MORE

  7. 15. The impact of tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty

    Author : Charlotta Olivecrona; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Use of the tourniquet in extremity surgery is considered to be an important tool because it prevents intraoperative bleeding and thereby improves visualization of the surgical field. However, its use is not without risks, and complications may occur. READ MORE
