Three patients with a failed total ankle arthroplasty underwent tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis. In an attempt to preserve leg length, a titanium cage filled with autologous bone was placed in the defect. None of the ankles healed primarily. After 9 to 29 months, the cages, which only contained necrotic material, were removed and repeat arthrodesis was performed using a retrograde intramedullary nail.
Numerous publications have described the importance of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in the specification of hematopoietic tissue in developing embryos. Here we investigate the full role of canonical BMP signaling in both adult and fetal liver hematopoiesis using conditional knockout strategies, since conventional disruption of components of the BMP signaling pathway result in early d
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. OBJECTIVES: To optimize the radiation doses and image quality for the cone-beam O-arm surgical imaging system in spinal surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND: Neurovascular compromise has been reported after screw misplacement during thoracic pedicle screw insertion. The use of O-arm with or without navigation system during spinal surgery has been shown to lower the rat
In Sweden the main exposure route for both polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and other persistent organochlorine compounds is through consumption of fatty fish species from the Baltic Sea (the eastern coast of Sweden). Cohorts of fishermen's wives from the Swedish east and west coasts were established. Interviewed east and west coast cohort women ate locally caught fish at least twice as often as wo
Background Safety data on cancer risks following tumour necrosis factor a inhibitors (TNFi) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) (here defined as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), undifferentiated spondarthropaties (SpA UNS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA)) are scarce. Our objective was to assess risks for cancer overall and for common subtypes in patients with SpA treated with TNFi compared with TNFi-n
Objective: To determine the effect of a nature-assisted rehabilitation programme in a group of patients with reactions to severe stress and/or mild to moderate depression. Changes in sick-leave status and healthcare consumption in these patients were compared with those in a matched population-based reference cohort (treatment as usual). Design: Retrospective cohort study with a matched reference
AimA significant number of children living in Sweden are bilingual, but how language screening is performed in this group is unknown. We investigated child healthcare nurses' perceptions of the language screening of bilingual children aged 30-36months, together with their clinical practices. MethodsAn online questionnaire was completed by 863 nurses who performed language screening of bilingual ch
Background: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is generally associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elderly and obese subjects may be particularly susceptible, although short-term effects are poorly described. Methods: Sixty healthy subjects 25 males, 35 females, age 55 to 83 years, body mass index > 25 kg/m(2)) were included in a cross-over study with 5 hours of
The rights-based approach (RBA) to development is a response to the perception that development aid has largely failed to overcome discriminatory structures and to help the poorest. The RBA aims to empower the powerless and focuses more on the processes in society than on delivering services. In reality however, these intentions are implemented very differently. This thesis analyses how rights-bas
Public procurement - which can shortly be explained with the government's activity of purchasing goods and services - presents one of the largest economic markets in the world, accounting, on average, for 15 per cent of the gross national product (GDP) worldwide. One of the most controversially debated issues regarding public procurement is that of procurement linkages. The questions evolve ar
Background: Sleep and behavioral regulation are both vital for early healthy development. Yet, little is known about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to early sleep and regulatory behaviors, or how these etiological influences may change during the first months of life. Methods: Genetic and environmental influences on sleep, settle, and crying behaviors at 2 and 5 mon
We investigate the temperature-dependent complex dielectric function of bulk single-crystal In2O3 over the spectral range of 1–6 eV and temperatures from room temperature to 600 °C under high-vacuum conditions using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dielectric function was modeled using wavelength-by-wavelength and critical-point model dielectric function analyses. The dielectric function ex
An experimental study was performed, aimed at finding a way to produce single crystalline powder of pure (Fe0.7Co0.3)2B with a particle size of 100-200nm. This was done with the ultimate goal of producing a hard magnetic ferrite powder for powder metallurgical production of permanent magnets. For this study, eight different compositions of iron, cobalt and boron were atomized using atomization by
Surrogatmoderskap är inte tillåtet enligt svensk rätt. Det saknas ett uttryckligt förbud men andra regleringar utesluter surrogatarrangemang genom sina bestämmelser. Detta kan vara problematiskt eftersom svenska medborgare som anlitar surrogatmödrar utomlands inte anses vara rättsliga föräldrar till barnet när det föds. Syftet med denna framställning har varit att undersöka hur det rättsliga förälThere is no explicit prohibition against surrogacy in Swedish law, but other regulations preclude surrogate arrangements. Considering the fact that Swedish citizens still use surrogacy abroad as a means to have a child, this can become problematic. Upon returning home with their child they experience difficulties, particularly pertaining to being recognized as the legal parents. The purpose of thi
Den nya möjligheten för föräldrar att göra skatteavdrag för att hyra in läxhjälp till sina barn har varit ett hett diskuterat ämne i den svenska politiska debatten det gångna året. Det så kallade läx-RUT väcker frågor om rättvis fördelning, skattesystemets snedvridningseffekter och behovet av ökad läxläsning för bättre skolresultat. Skatteavdraget för läxläsning är ett hittills outforskat område,
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en grundläggande överblick över materiell- och processuellrättsliga överväganden som aktualiseras vid en ansökan om civilprocessuella säkerhetsåtgärder inom ramen för ett aktieägaravtalsförhållande. Målet är att illustrera den praktiska tillämpningen och funktionen av civilprocessuella säkerhetsåtgärder i en situation där en aktieägaravtalspart hotas av kontraktsThe purpose of this thesis is to give a general view over the procedural and material considerations that arise at the application for precautionary or interim measures in the context of shareholders agreements, according to Swedish law and jurisprudential doctrine. The objective is to illustrate the possibility, function and application of precautionary and interim measures in a situation where a
