  2. 21. Cardiac function and long-term volume load : Physiological investigations in endurance athletes and in patients operated on for aortic regurgitation

    Author : Kristofer Hedman; Eva Nylander; Éva Tamás; Lars Brudin; Mats Börjesson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background and aims. The heart is a remarkably adaptable organ, continuously changing its output to match metabolic demands and haemodynamic load. But also in long-term settings, such as in chronic or repeated volume load, there are changes in cardiac dimensions and mass termed cardiac hypertrophy. READ MORE

  4. 22. Lean culture in industrialized housing : a study of timber volume element prefabrication

    Author : Matilda Höök; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : Industrialization and the use of timber have been put forward by means of its potential for increased efficiency in housing construction. Industrialized housing is related to learning from manufacturing, but the construction culture still has to be considered when development is discussed. READ MORE

  5. 23. On healing of titanium implants in iliac crest bone grafts

    Author : Mats Sjöström; Stefan Lundgren; Lars Sennerby; Christian Lindqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Edentulous atrophic maxilla; Autogenous bone graft; Endosteal implants; Microimplants; Resonance frequency analysis; Implant survival; Graft volume changes; Kirurgi; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Bone grafts and titanium implants are commonly used for surgical/prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic edentulous maxilla. The factors which influence bone graft healing and implant integration are not sufficiently understood. READ MORE

  6. 24. Maturation-dependent normal and injury-induced changes in rabbit knee articular cartilage

    Author : Xiaochun Wei; Leif Ryd; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : rabbit; development; maturation; knee joint; articular cartilage; osteochondral defect; cartilage repair; joint fluid; subchondral bone volume fraction; proteoglycan fragment; transforming growth factor-ß; biomechanics; indentation; histology; hlstomorphometry; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cartilage injuries are common in sports, and may on the long term develop to osteoarthritis. Prosthetic joint replacement is not satisfactory for young active individuals with extended cartilage injuries in large weight-bearing joints. In these cases, a treatment is needed which reestablishes normal joint surfaces by biologic means. READ MORE
