"VÄRDEFULLA PERSPEKTIV PÅ HÖFTLEDSOPERATIONER" Läkartidningen 2021

Vad innebär en höftprotesoperation, hur kan man förbereda sig på bästa sätt och hur ser rehabiliteringen ut efteråt?

Vi sökte svaret på den frågan för sent, efter att John opererats och drabbats av komplikationer. Att vara välinformerad för att kunna vara delaktig i sin egen vård är viktigt och kunskap ger trygghet. Därav denna bok. Som läsare får du följa John genom hans operation och rehabilitering samtidigt som du får ta del av råd och fakta – före, under och efter en höftledsoperation som görs på grund av artros. Du får även läsa om Anders Jelander som sprungit 75 maraton med sina nya höftleder och om Maria Ahlberg, en alldeles ”vanlig” höftprotespatient.

Din nya höftled vänder sig till dig som lever med artrossmärta och inväntar operation, men också till dig som fått en ny höftprotes och söker mer information. Boken kan med fördel även läsas av anhöriga eller vårdpersonal som vill ha inblick i patientperspektivet. Boken är faktagranskad av Olof Sköldenberg, Professor i Ortopedi.

Sagt om boken: 

"Boken tillför ett värdefullt perspektiv som inte alltid förmedlas via sjukvården och ger läsaren en mer nyanserad bild av vad en höftprotesoperation innebär och medför, både ur positiv och ur negativ synvinkel. Även om texten huvudsakligen handlar om en person är den tillräckligt bred för att de flesta läsare ska kunna känna igen sig. Boken »Din nya höftled« har alla förutsättningar att fylla ett behov av nyanserad och saklig information ur ett patient- och närståendeperspektiv på höftprotesoperation.” Pelle Gustafson, docent och medicinsk redaktör, Läkartidningen 2021

”Detta är den första boken som tar ett samlat grepp om vad höftledsartros är, hur den utvecklas och behandlas, när det är dags för operation och vad efterföljande rehabilitering innebär. Om den här boken hade funnits då jag sköt på operationen på grund av rädsla hade jag blivit modigare och vågat ta steget till höftledsbyte mycket snabbare.” Gunvor Maazon, bibliotekarie och ”dubbelhippie” sedan nov 2019

”Mycket bra och välskriven bok som alla med höftledartros kan ha stor glädje av.” Per Wickman, höftledsopererad och patientföreträdare i NAG (nationell arbetsgrupp) för höftledsartros

”Boken innehåller viktiga fakta och högst läsvärda personliga berättelser, för alla med artros som vill bli opererade eller som har gjort en höftledsoperation.” Lotta Frithiof, journalist och nyopererad höftprotespatient

The population balance modeling is a statistical approach for achieving accurate counts of any populations. It is an efficient way of counting traffic on roadways as well as to bacteria in lakes. In the biomedical world, it is used to count cell populations for the creation of biomaterials. Despite their undisputed accuracy, they have been underutilized for design and control purposes due to two main reasons: a) they are hard to solve and b) the functions that describe single-cell mechanisms and appear as parameters in these models are typically unknown.

The world''s most highly regarded reference text on the mechanisms and clinical management of blood diseases

A Doody''s Core Title for 2020!

Edition after edition, Williams Hematology has guided generations of clinicians, biomedical researchers, and trainees in many disciplines through the origins, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management of benign and malignant disorders of blood cells and coagulation proteins. It is acknowledged worldwide as the leading hematology resource, with editors who are internationally regarded for their research and clinical achievements and authors who are luminaries in their fields.

The Ninth Edition of Williams Hematology is extensively revised to reflect the latest advancements in basic science, translational pathophysiology, and clinical practice. In addition to completely new chapters, it features a full-color presentation that includes 700 photographs, 300 of which are new to this edition, and 475 illustrations. Recognizing that blood and marrow cell morphology is at the heart of diagnostic hematology, informative color images of the relevant disease topics are conveniently integrated into each chapter, allowing easy access to illustrations of cell morphology important to diagnosis.

Comprehensive in its depth and breath, this go-to textbook begins with the evaluation of the patient and progresses to the molecular and cellular underpinnings of normal and pathological hematology. Subsequent sections present disorders of the erythrocyte, granulocytes and monocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells, malignant myeloid and lymphoid diseases, hemostasis and thrombosis, and transfusion medicine.

Bioceramics 10 contains the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Paris, France, in October 1997. These annual symposia bring together distinguished researchers in the fields of ceramics and medicine to exchange ideas and to discuss recent research results.

Bioceramics in medicine has become one of the more important fields of biomaterials. The clinical applications of bioceramics are numerous. In particular in areas such as orthopaedic surgery, dentistry and plastic surgery, but also E.N.T., percutaneous devices and embolisation materials. In addition to the many clinical applications, Bioceramics 10 deals with a range of fundamental subjects in depth.

This book will be an essential reference tool for both clinicians, academics and industrial researchers interested in the use of ceramics in medicine. The book will also be of great value to students and lecturers in materials science, biomedical engineering and orthopaedics. This volume contains 140 papers, more than 200 high quality photographs, and both author and keyword indexes.

The materials industry has sought to observe and appreciate the relationship between structure, properties and function of these biological materials. A multidisciplinary approach, building on recent advances at the forefront of physics, chemistry and molecular biology, has been successful in producing many synthetic structures with interesting and useful properties.

Structural Biological Materials: Design and Structure-Property Relationships represents an invaluable reference in the field of biological materials science and provides an incisive view into this rapidly developing and increasingly important topic within materials science.

This book focuses on the study of three sub-groups of structural biological materials:

. Hard tissue engineering, focussing on cortical bone. Soft tissue engineering. Fibrous materials, particularly engineering with silk fibers.

The fundamental relationship between structure and properties, and certain aspects of design and engineering, are explored in each of the sub-groups. The importance of these materials, both in their intrinsic properties and specific functions, are illustrated with relevant examples. These depict the successful integration of material properties, architecture and shape, providing a wide range of optimised designs, tailored to specific functions.

Edited by Manuel Elices of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, this book is Volume 4 in the Pergamon Material Series.

Modelling and Control in Biomedical Systems (including Biological Systems) was held in Reims, France, 20-22 August 2006. This Symposium was organised by the University of Reims Champagne Ardenne and the Soci�t� de l'Electricit�, de l'Electronique et des TIC (SEE).

The Symposium attracted practitioners in engineering, information technology, mathematics, medicine and biology, and other related disciplines, with authors from 24 countries. Besides the abstracts of the four plenary lectures, this volume contains the 92 papers that were presented by their authors at the Symposium.

The papers included two invited keynote presentations given by internationally prominent and well-recognised research leaders: Claudio Cobelli, whose talk is titled "Dynamic modelling in diabetes: from whole body to genes"; and Irving J. Bigio, whose talk is titled "Elastic scattering spectroscopy for non-invasive detection of cancer". Two prestigious industrial speakers were also invited to give keynote presentations: Terry O'Brien from LIDCO, whose talk is titled "LIDCO: From the laboratory to protocolized goal directed therapy"; and Lorenzo Quinzio of Philips, whose talk is titled "Clinical decision support in monitoring and information systems".
