  2. 1. Craniofacial pain of cardiac origin : an interdisciplinary study

    Author : Marcelo Kreiner; Annika Isberg; Antoon de Laat; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; craniofacial pain; referred pain; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Referred pain is frequently associated with misdiagnosis and unnecessary therapy directed to the pain location instead of its origin. When craniofacial pain is the sole symptom of myocardial ischemia, failure to recognize its cardiac source can endanger the patient. READ MORE

  4. 2. Dentoalveolar and craniofacial changes from early adolescence to late adulthood

    Author : Nameer Al-Taai; Anna Westerlund; Maria Ransjö; Eva Levring Jäghagen; Timo Peltumäki; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Craniofacial growth; age-related changes; cephalometric superimposition; serial extraction; lower incisor crowding; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Objectives: Study I: To evaluate the reliability and validity of different superimposition methods and to increase the precision with which craniofacial growth and treatment can be quantified. Study II: To explore the craniofacial changes that occur from early adolescence to late adulthood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dynamic principles in craniofacial surgery. Expander elements in craniofacial surgery

    Author : Fredrik Gewalli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Scaphocephaly; Brachycephaly; Dynamic cranioplasty; Pi-procedure; DCB; Expander elements; Distraction; Mental development; ICP; Cephalometry; Cephalic index;

    Abstract : Lannelongue & Lane described strip removal of ossified skull sutures in craniosynostosis in the 1890s. More complex osteotomies with bone grafting were developed during the 1960s. Dynamic techniques, utilizing force to direct the growing brain for skull reshaping was introduced by Jane 1978 with the p-plasty for sagittal synostosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. On 606 retrieved oral and cranio-facial implants. An analysis of consecutively received human specimens

    Author : Pia Bolind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : retrieved human implants; oral; craniofacial; bone; undecalcified sections; histology; histomorphometry;

    Abstract : Aim:The aim of the present thesis was to histologically and histomorphometrically analyse retrieved human specimens of oral and cranio-facial implants, and to address the clinical relevance of a retrieval bank.Materials and methods:The specimens analysed were submitted to the retrieval bank at the Department of Biomaterials / Handicap Research.

  7. 5. Dynamic skull reshaping for sagittal craniosynostosis

    Author : José Guimarães-Ferreira; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Craniosynostosis; Sagittal synostosis; Plastic surgery; Craniofacial; surgery; Spring mediated cranioplasty; Modified pi-plasty; procedure; Roentgencephalometry.;

    Abstract : Objectives: The present investigation was aimed at expanding the knowledge base regarding the skull morphology in sagittal craniosynostosis and at assessing the safety and efficacy of two dynamic cranioplasty procedures, the modified pi-plasty procedure and the spring-mediated cranioplasty. Methods: The patient population consisted of children with non-syndromic sagittal craniosynostosis. READ MORE
