2. 1. Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy

   Author : Måns Persson-Bunke; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebral palsy; windswept hip deformity; scoliosis; children; posture;

   Abstract : Abstract Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of scoliosis, contractures including windswept hip deformity (WS), and hip dislocation. In 1994, a follow-up program and registry for children and adolescents with CP (CPUP) was initiated in Sweden to allow the early detection and prevention of hip dislocations and other musculoskeletal deformities.

4. 2. Early onset spine deformity : outcome of surgical treatment and 3D movement analysis of sitting

   Author : Girts Murans; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Early onset, non-idiopathic spine deformities are progressive and associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as well as neurological and functional deteriorations. If untreated, the deformity progression can continue throughout the adult life and conclude with early mortality mostly due to cardio-pulmonary reason. READ MORE

5. 3. Robust Image Registration for Improved Clinical Efficiency : Using Local Structure Analysis and Model-Based Processing

   Author : Daniel Forsberg; Hans Knutsson; Mats Andersson; Claes Lundström; Wiro Niessen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Image registration; deformable models; scoliosis; visualization; volume rendering; adaptive regularization; GPGPU; CUDA;

   Abstract : Medical imaging plays an increasingly important role in modern healthcare. In medical imaging, it is often relevant to relate different images to each other, something which can prove challenging, since there rarely exists a pre-defined mapping between the pixels in different images.

6. 4. Norrbottnian congenital insensitivity to pain

   Author : Jan Minde; Göran Toolanen; Li Tsai-Fällender; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain insensitivity; HSAN; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

   Abstract : Congenital insensitivity to pain is a rare hereditary neuropathy. We present patients from a large family in Norrbotten, Sweden with a mutation in the nerve growth factor β gene (NGFß). Using a model of recessive inheritance, we identified an 8.3-Mb region on chromosome 1p11. READ MORE

7. 5. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The Role of Low Dose Computed Tomography

   Author : Kasim Abul-Kasim; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; low-dose spine CT; effective dose; screw misplacement; adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; outcome.; titanium screws; image quality; neurovascular complication; phantom;

   Abstract : Continuous implementation of new operative methods for correction and stabilization of spinal deformities in young patients with AIS demands a detailed morphological analysis of the vertebral column. CT spine according to protocols available in daily clinical practice means high radiation dose to these young individuals. READ MORE
