BACKGROUND: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the use of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to treat knee osteoarthritis in Australia, and these account for almost 6% of annual knee replacement procedures. However, there is debate as to whether a fixed bearing or a mobile bearing design is best for decreasing revision for loosening and disease progression as well as impr
Background--The relationship between "on-treatment" low platelet reactivity and longitudinal risks of major bleeding dual antiplatelet therapy following acute coronary syndromes remains uncertain, especially for patients who do not undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results--We analyzed 2428medicallymanaged acute coronary syndromes patients fromthe Targeted Platelet Inhibition
Every day about 1 trillion new blood cells are formed, of which the majority are red blood cells. This depends on a small number of hematopoietic stem cells that are able to both self-renew to maintain the stem cell pool, and to mature into all types of mature blood cells. Anemia is associated with aging, chronic infections and cancer, and significantly impacts quality of life and survival. It is

OBJECTIVE: The time taken to reach maximal haemostatic effect following local anaesthesia with epinephrine is generally believed to be <10 min. This is based on clinical experience and indirect measurements of perfusion using methods such as laser Doppler flowmetry and oxygen spectroscopy. However, the only study in which bleeding has been measured quantitatively in an intra-operative setting in h
Methods: Three hundred and eighty newly diagnosed ANCA-associated vasculitis patients from six European multicentre studies treated with AZA maintenance were included; 58% were male, median age at diagnosis 59.4 years (interquartile range: 48.3-68.2 years); granulomatosis with polyangiitis, n = 236; microscopic polyangiitis, n = 132; or renal limited vasculitis, n = 12. Patients were grouped accor
Mental health disorders are a rapidly growing public health problem. Despite the fact that lack of trust in the health-care system is considered to be an important determinant of health, there is scarcity of empirical evidence demonstrating its associations with health outcomes. This is the first study which aims to evaluate the association between trust in the health-care system and psychological
The ambitions to fund excellent researchers and path-breaking research unite a whole family of funding instruments ranging from Centres of Excellence to individual grants. While instruments aimed at funding excellence share a number of commonalities, there are important subsidiary features which determine their overall efficacy. The paper uses a case study of the Swedish Distinguished Professor Gr

Adult human joint cartilage lesions do not spontaneously heal. Patients with isolated articular cartilage lesions make up perhaps some 1% of the total number of patients examined by arthroscopy. Symptoms such pain and locking, and the suggestion that the untreated lesions may progress to osteoarthritis form the basis for current attempts to repair articular cartilage by cell transplantation and ot
Artikel 102 FEUF förbjuder dominansmissbruk, vilket inkluderar vägran att licensiera immaterialrättigheter (IMR) under exceptionella omständigheter. Rekvisiten för att klassificera en licensvägran som missbruk har etablerats i mål om dominerande företags vägran att licensiera egna konkurrenter. Genom att utforska bedömningen av licensvägran ämnar denna uppsats utröna huruvida och, om så, mot vilkaArticle 102 TFEU prohibits abuse of dominance, including refusal to license intellectual property rights (IPRs) in exceptional circumstances. The requirements for classifying a refusal to license as abusive have been established in cases about dominant undertakings’ refusal to license their competitors. By exploring the assessment of refusals to license, this thesis examines whether and, if so, by
