1. Bone Mineral Density Determination in Children. Evaluation of a novel method and application to Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Abstract : Aims: The overall aims of this thesis were to evaluate the dual-energy X-ray and laser (DXL) method for bone densitometry measurements of the calcaneus in children, to provide reference data for bone mineral density (BMD) in the heel bone in young children and to apply the DXL technique to patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and conduct a survey about bone health of DMD patients. Study populations and methods: The DXL Calscan method was modified and adapted for measurements in children and applied to bone densitometry in all subsequent studies. READ MORE

2. Autologous bone marrow transplantation in childhood : A follow-up study
Abstract : Autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) was introduced to the Uppsala UniversityHospital in 1985. Since then, 50 children (... READ MORE

3. The Influence of Physical Activity on Musculoskeletal Characteristics and Fracture Risk at Growth
Abstract : Physical Activity (PA) can improve neuromuscular development. A high level of physical activity can perhaps however lead to more fractures. This is a longitudinal population-based exercise intervention study where the school-based physical education (PE) in one school is increased from mean 60 min/week to mean 200 min/ week. READ MORE

4. Bone mineral density in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract : Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been highlighted as a potential problem in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the westernized world. The mechanisms behind reduced BMD in pediatric IBD are still not completely understood, but several factors that influence bone mineralization have been discussed. READ MORE

5. Effect of Physical Activity on Bone, Muscle and Fracture Risk during Growth
Abstract : Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. READ MORE
