2. 16. Anchorage of naturally-corroded, plain bars in Reinforced Concrete structures

   Author : Samanta Robuschi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bond; corrosion; concrete; anchorage; plain reinforcement bars;

   Abstract : Reinforced Concrete (RC) is the most common construction material in existing structures. However, RC structures are susceptible to deterioration over time, with corrosion of the reinforcing steel as most common mechanism. Corrosion reduces strength and ductility provided by the reinforcement bars and affects their interaction with the concrete. READ MORE

4. 17. On costochondral grafts replacing mandibular condyles in juvenile chronic arthritis. A clinical, histological and experimental study

   Author : Börje Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; juvenile chronic arthritis; temporomandibular joints; temporomandibular disorders; costochondral grafts; growth; revascularisation; microangiography; fluorochrome labelling.;

   Abstract : In children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), disturbances of mandibular growth and function may result in involvement of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The aim of this thesis was to study the stomatognathic system in JCA children and long-term effects on facial growth of treatment comprising replacement of arthritic mandibular condyles with autogenous costochondral grafts (CCGs) during growth.

5. 18. Human Body Model Morphing for Assessment of Crash Rib Fracture Risk for the Population of Car Occupants

   Author : Karl-Johan Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; crash; human body model; morphing; SAFER HBM; rib fracture risk; vehicle safety;

   Abstract : Fractured ribs are prevalent injury outcomes for vehicle occupants involved in crashes. Sex, age, and anthropometry of an occupant influences the risk to sustain rib fractures. READ MORE

6. 19. Novel skeletal stem and progenitor cells and their regulation

   Author : Baoyi Zhou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The development of bone and cartilage, which provide the framework of the skeletal system, is complex. In this context stem and progenitor cells play a crucial role by producing differentiated cells. Hormones are important regulators of this process, with growth hormone (GH) acting as the major endocrine regulator of longitudinal bone growth. READ MORE

7. 20. Anthropometry in the elderly. Population studies on longitudinal changes, secular trends and risk for morbidity and mortality

   Author : Debashish Kumar Dey; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anthropometry; height; body weight; body mass index; waist circumference; longitudinal changes; ageing; secular trends; stroke; morbidity; mortality; elderly;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to a) describe longitudinal changes in height and body weight (BW) between the ages 70 and 95y; b) describe secular trends in height and BW of 70-year-olds and their relation to social and lifestyle factors; c) investigate waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) at age 70 as risk for stroke during a 15-y follow-up; and, d) examine the relationship between 1) BMI at age 70 and 15-y all- cause mortality, 2) the percentage of weight change from age 70 to 75 and subsequent 5- and 10-y mortality. The studies were performed within the framework of the gerontological and geriatric population studies in Göteborg, Sweden-the H70 studies. READ MORE
