"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

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.

These biosensors are miniaturised, portable, and are designed to be used at the point-of-care by untrained individuals, providing real-time and remote health monitoring.

Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles to address challenges in the fields of biology and medicine encompassing the principles of engineering design to the full spectrum of living systems. In surgery, recent advances in minimal invasive surgery and robotics are the culmination of the work that both engineers and surgeons have achieved in the medical field through an exciting and challenging interface. This interface rests on the medical curiosity and engineering solutions that lead eventually to collaboration and development of new ideas and technologies. Most recently, innovation by surgeons has become a fundamental contribution to medical research in the surgical field, and it is through effective communication between surgeons and biomedical engineers and promoting collaborative initiatives that translational research is possible. Bioengineering for Surgery explores this interface between surgeons and engineers and how it leads to innovation processes, providing clinical results, fundraising and prestige for the academic institution. This book is designed to teach students how engineers can fit in with their intended environment and what type of materials and design considerations must be taken into account in regards to medical ideas.
