Early Physiotherapy in the Neurointensive Care Unit - Passive Physiotherapy Interventions
(2016-03-17)Background: In critically ill patients, treated in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) because of severe brain injury or stroke, physical activities have been restricted to a minimum due to the potential risks of complications ... -
Early Prostate Cancer, On prognostic markers and predictors of treatment outcome after radical prostatectomy.
(2007-11-19)The incidence of prostate cancer (PC) has increased by 4.6% annually in Sweden during the past ten years. Today’s clinically used prognostic markers are not accurate enough to separate the potentially life-threatening ... -
Effect of Ischaemia-Reperfusion on Rabbit Kidney and Human Brain
(2008-04-16)Free radicals are produced in various organs at ischaemia-reperfusion. The final stage in radical damage is lipid peroxidation. We have demonstrated previously that a lipid-soluble antioxidant improves restoration of ... -
Effects of antiresorptive agents on inflammation and bone regeneration in different osseous sites - experimental and clinical studies
(2014-09-29)ABSTRACT The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration ... -
Effects of intervertebral disc cells on neural tissue. In vitro and in vivo experimental studies.
(2013-08-22)Introduction: Lumbar disc herniation and sciatica are common conditions that involve interactions between intervertebral discs (IVDs) and neural tissue. The nucleus pulposus (NP) of an IVD contains at least two cell ... -
Effects of nonlinear noise reduction algorithms on image quality in computed tomography systems. Evaluations using human observers and methods for assessing distortion
(2022-11-10)Many conventional radiological examinations have during the past decades been replaced by examinations performed on computed tomography (CT) systems. One reason is that a CT system, in contrast to a conventional X-ray ... -
