BACKGROUND: To investigate the correlation between various orthopedic conditions and overweight/obesity at the Department of Orthopedics, Malmö University Hospital Sweden. Obesity is associated with numerous major medical conditions. Although the relationship between gonarthrosis and osteoarthritis and body mass index (BMI) is well recognized, other orthopedic conditions have been less well studie
Anaesthesia with closed anaesthetic systems demands knowledge of the physiology of the patients and of how the various anaesthetic gases behave in the organism as only the gases which the patients produces and absorbs are eliminated and replaced. The system is educational as it provides knowledge of the genuine absorption of oxygen and anaesthetic gases. The method is favourable to the environment

The effects of flunarizine, a calcium entry blocker, were evaluated in a long-term survival model of ischemia in rats. One group of animals received the drug orally at 24 and 4 h prior to the insult (40 mg·kg-1·dose-1). Another group was given flunarizine following the insult, intravenously at 5 min (0.1 mg·kg-1), and orally at 8 and 24 h (40 mg·kg-1·dose-1). A third group received the solvent for
Ectodermal patterning of the chick embryo begins in the uterus and continues during gastrulation, when cells with a neural fate become restricted to the neural plate around the primitive streak, and cells fated to become the epidermis to the periphery. The prospective epidermis at early stages is characterized by the expression of the homeobox gene DLX5, which remains an epidermal marker during ga
We prove the nonexistence of two-dimensional solitary gravity water waves with subcritical wave speeds and an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. This is a longstanding open problem, and even in the irrotational case there are only partial results relying on sign conditions or smallness assumptions. As a corollary, we obtain a relatively complete classification of solitary waves: they must be sup

Building on Boltanski’s and Thévenot’s notion of the plurality of forms of worth, the chapter focuses on the tension between the world of art (with an inspirational order of worth) and the community organiser’s world (guided by a civic principle of worth). Empirical material comes from VoS, a non-profit community-arts organization in Sweden. The chapter follows the sequence of events, criticisms,
Urbanization has resulted in a gigantism of urban complexes and in many environmental and social problems. The situation on the surface and the principles of sustainable development compel urban planners to utilize the urban underground space, which for centuries has been almost exclusively the application field of mining. More often than not spatial planning in urban areas allocates various land-
To illustrate the importance of biomechanical impact on tissue health within the central nervous system (CNS), we herein describe an in vitro model of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in which disruption and restoration of physical tissue support can be studied in isolation.
