Background: Regenerex® is a porous titanium construct with a 3D interconnecting pore structure and biomechanical characteristics close to that of normal trabecular bone. This study aimed to compare the Regenerex (VR) to the non-interconnecting pore structure Porous Plasma Spray (VP) on tibial implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 5 years. Methods: We enrolled and randomized 61 patients (me

The surgical repair of congenital heart defects in children with preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) is to varying degree associated with the occurrence of postoperative PH. The objective of this study was to follow up children with severe postoperative PH (pulmonary arterial/aortic pressure ratio ≥ 1.0) to evaluate if pulmonary arterial pressure spontaneously normalized or needed PH-targetin

pnas201210582 1..3 Profile of Anders Björklund W hen Anders Björklund star- ted medical school in the early 1960s, scientists still believed that the structure of the adult brain was fixed and immuta- ble and that nerve cells could not be regenerated after damage or death. But that view changed when Björklund began using a powerful new fluorescence mi- croscopic method to view subsets of neurons.

Objectives: To assess whether partial meniscectomy is associated with increased risk of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) and worsening cartilage damage in the following year. Methods: We studied 355 knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative that developed ROA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 2), which were matched with control knees. The MR images were assessed using the semi-quantitative MOAKS system.

The current confusion about what species are has two major causes. First, many authors discussing species concepts seem not to have considered for what purpose species are distinguished. Several proposed species concepts define species in a way that is only useful in a narrow field of advanced biological science. It is argued that species concepts should rather fulfil the needs of the majority of

Background & Aims: Despite treatment with corticosteroids, severe to moderately severe attacks of ulcerative colitis have a high colectomy rate. We intended to find a rescue therapy other than cyclosporin A, which imposes a high risk of side effects and cyclosporine-related mortality. Method : This was a randomized double-blind trial of infliximab or placebo in severe to moderately severe ulce

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the outcome of fertility-sparing treatment in ovarian borderline tumors and early invasive ovarian cancer. Materials and methods: All women diagnosed with an ovarian borderline tumor or early invasive ovarian cancer who were treated with fertility-sparing surgery at the University Hospital in Lund between 1988 and 2002 were identified and included in the study (n

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på Svenska: Avhandlingen handlar om tvångsvård av alkoholister och presenterar såväl metodologiska som kliniska studier av behandlingsutfall. Innebörd av tvångsvård Alkoholister kan uppleva många olika typer av påtryckning för att gå in i behandling. Fysisk och psykisk smärta, sociala påtryckningar från närstående eller arbetsgivare, samt olika typer avThis thesis concerns involuntary social treatment for alcoholism. Alcoholics who were compulsorily committed according to the Swedish Act of Care of Addicts in Certain Cases (LVM) were treated together with voluntary patients. They were followed up by mail questionnaires to patients, significant others and social workers. Self-reports were in satsifactory agreement with collateral reports concerni

Thrombomodulin gene (THBD) is a critical cofactor in protein C anticoagulant system. THBD c.1418C>T polymorphism is reported to be associated with higher risk of primary venous thromboembolism (VTE) but its role in VTE recurrence is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of THBD polymorphism in VTE recurrence. THBD c.1418C>T polymorphism was genotyped by using Taqman polymerase

When Axel Oxenstierna, Chancellor of Sweden, died in 1654, Sweden was a great power. In 1612, however, when Oxenstierna took office, Sweden was on the verge of collapse. In the east, she was menaced by Muscovy, in the south-east by Poland, and in the west by Denmark. One of the means to save the Swedish realm was through active diplomacy. Two important figures in Oxenstierna’s diplomatic network w

In November 2009 a Swedish twitterer died in a car accident. Even though @Just_Tea wasn’t a celebrity, condolences and displays of public mourning stacked up from her followers and the Swedish blogosphere. However, there was also disapproving voices, criticizing the public displays of grief of someone whom few had met and even fewer could call friend. The criticism and the subsequent discussions o

Aim: “Early” withdrawal of life support therapies (eWLST) within the first 3 calendar days after resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA) is discouraged. We evaluated a prospective multicenter registry of patients admitted to hospitals after resuscitation from CA to determine predictors of eWLST and estimate its impact on outcomes. Methods: CA survivors enrolled from 2012–2017 in the International C

Aims: Ankle–brachial index (ABI) is the most commonly used test when diagnosing peripheral vascular disease and is considered a marker for cardiovascular risk. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2), a test associated with microvascular function, has in several studies shown better correlation with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing. Whether a low TcPO2 could be a marker for mortality in the high-r

Background: Since the introduction of high-sensitivity troponin assays a greater proportion of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients present with dynamic troponin elevations. We hypothesize that significant coronary artery disease (CAD) causes relative ischemia in the setting of a rapid heart rate resulting in dynamic troponin elevation. The aim of this study was to examine if patients without known C

BACKGROUND: Varus osteotomy of the proximal femur (VOPF) is one treatment option to prevent hip dislocation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It is questioned whether the osteotomy should be performed in the displaced hip only, or if it should be performed bilaterally to prevent later displacement of the contralateral hip. CPUP is a register and healthcare programme for children with CP that w

Vårdare kan utnyttja patienters underlägsna position och förmå äldre och sjuka personer att upprätta testamenten till deras fördel. Med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod, undersöker denna uppsats inledningsvis hur svensk successionsrätt respektive straffrätt förhåller sig till sådana testamentariska förordnanden. På grund av den många gånger överväldigande bevisbördan, är det svårt för de legala arHealth professionals may take advantage of a patient’s inferior position and influence him or her to make a will in favor of the caretaker. By using a legal dogmatic method, this essay initially examines the relationship between such testamentary dispositions and Swedish inheritance and criminal law. Due to an often overwhelming evidentiary burden, it is very difficult for an heir to contest such
