Antecedents of Cerebral Palsy in children born at term - according to subtype, motor severity and accompanying impairments
(2016-02-05)Aims: To explore antecedents of cerebral palsy (CP) according to subtype, severity of motor impairment and accompanying impairments (epilepsy and/or cognitive impairments) in relation to neuroimaging patterns. Material ... -
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome
(2019-03-21)The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further ... -
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Graft failures, surgical techniques and patient-reported outcome measures
(2016-05-06)Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can result in increased joint laxity, which often ends participation in competitive sports and may, in the medium to long term, lead to degeneration of the knee. The occurrence ... -
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, aspects of graft choice, graft fixation and bone mineral loss
(2013-10-25)The aim of this thesis was to measure bone mineral changes in the calcanei, hips and lumbar spine of patients reconstructed with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) or hamstring tendon (HT) autografts following ... -
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis autograft. Evaluation of the clinical outcome, radiographic findings, histology and biochemistry
(2015-05-18)The present thesis focuses on different aspects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using hamstring tendon (HT) autografts. In Study I, two groups of patients were compared. One group underwent surgery in ... -
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: long-term outcome in adults and adolescents. Clinical results, health-related quality of life, radiographic findings and boone mineral assessments
(2015-09-10)The aim of this thesis was to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and assess pre-operative factors predicting good outcome of HRQoL after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Furthermore, to specifically ... -
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction; Randomized Trials, Register Studies and Experimental Analysis of Knee Laxity
(2013-05-02)The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the short- and mid-term outcome of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with special emphasis on surgical techniques, type of autograft and the influence of gender, using ... -
Antibiotic therapy as single treatment of acute appendicitis
(2012-05-29)ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Appendectomy has been the established treatment of acute appendicitis during the last century, regarded as a simple and safe procedure, although hampered with postoperative complications and increased ... -
Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis
(2016-04-28)Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, ... -
Apoptotic mechanisms in the neonatal brain following hypoxia-ischemia
(2011-10-28)Introduction: Neonatal encephalopathy is often perinatally acquired and caused by hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Brain injury develops with a delay, over 12-48 hours, after the insult. Hypothermia, an established neuroprotective ... -
