  2. 1. Health economics of osteoporosis

    Author : Fredrik Borgström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Economic evaluation; cost-effectiveness; osteoporosis; fracture related costs; quality of life;

    Abstract : Health economics is concerned about how the scarce resources should most efficiently be allocated to maximise the health outcomes. Health economic evaluation is a method for assessing costs and benefits of alternative treatment strategies for allocating resources to assist decisions aiming at improving efficiency. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pharmacoepidemiology and health economics of adherence to pharmaceutical fracture prevention

    Author : Oskar Ström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by weak bone, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide, predominantly postmenopausal women. The main clinical consequence of the disease is bone fractures and the lifetime risk of any fracture has been estimated at ~55% in Norwegian women. READ MORE

  5. 3. Automatic generation of patient specific models for hip surgery simulation

    Author : Johanna Pettersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Simulation of surgical procedures in computer based simulator systems is a relatively new area of interest in the field of medical technology. Many different systems are under development, but it is still far until this technique becomes routine in a clinical environment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mathematical Simulation of Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions: Influence of Vehicle Impact Speed and Front-End Structure on the Dynamic Responses of Child and Adult Pedestrians

    Author : Xuejun Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; child pedestrian; impact biomechanics; mathematical model; vehicle front-end structure; safety countermeasure; impact speed; parametric study; scaling method;

    Abstract : The development of effective countermeasures for pedestrian protection requires an understanding of how the impact speed and front-end design of the vehicle influence the injury risks of pedestrians. Because of the high involvement of children in pedestrian accidents, there is also a need for child pedestrian mathematical models. READ MORE

  7. 5. On customization of orthopedic implants - from design and additive manufacturing to implementation

    Author : Marie Cronskär; Mats Tinnsten; Mikael Bäckström; Lars-Erik Rännar; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Patient-specific implants; Additive manufacturing; Electron beam melting; Multibody musculoskeletal analysis; Orthopedic implants; Clavicle; Finite element analysis; Computer aided design; Osteosynthesis plate; Hip stem implants;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis is devoted to studying the possibilities of using additive manufacturing (AM) and design based on computed tomography (CT), for the production of patient-specific implants within orthopedic surgery, initially in a broad perspective and, in the second part of the thesis focusing on customized clavicle osteosynthesis plates. The main AM method used in the studies is the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology. READ MORE
