Mandibular trabecular bone pattern before and two years after medical or surgical obesity treatment in young Swedish women.

Objective: To investigate if changes in body mass index (BMI) result in changes of the mandibular trabecular bone structure.

Materials And Methods: Females (18-35 years at baseline, mean BMI 42,3) were followed from before (n = 117) until two years (n = 66) after obesity treatment (medical or surgical). The mandibular bone trabeculation was classified as sparse, dense, or mixed on intraoral radiographs (Lindh's index).

Does mandibular bone structure predict subsequent height loss? A longitudinal cohort study of women in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Background: Several risk factors for loss of height with increasing age have been identified.

Objective: To investigate if mandibular bone structure predicts future height loss in middle-aged and elderly Swedish women.

Design: Prospective cohort study with longitudinally measured heights, radiographical assessments of the cortical bone using Klemetti's Index (normal, moderate or severely eroded cortex) and classification of the trabecular bone using an index proposed by Lindh (sparse, mixed or dense trabeculation).

Effects of gender and fatigue on strength and activity of gluteus medius muscle during a controlled cutting maneuver in preadolescent athletes.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of gender on hip muscle strength and activity during a controlled cutting maneuver in preadolescent athletes. Fifty-six football and handball preadolescent players participated (35 females and 21 males). Normalized mean activity of the gluteus medius (GM) muscle was measured using surface electromyography during cutting maneuvers in pre-activation and eccentric phases.

Antibiotic oral provocation challenge in children.

Aim: The main objective of this study was to see how many of the children, with a suspected antibiotic allergy, developed an allergic or adverse reaction to a drug provocation test.

Methods: Data on children that had undergone a drug provocation test for a suspected antibiotic allergy were compiled retrospectively for the period from 2007-2018. The median age at the first provocation was 2.

Mandibular cortical bone structure as risk indicator in fractured and non-fractured 80-year-old men and women.

Objective: To investigate the association between mandibular cortex parameters and fracture in a group of 286 men and women, 79-80 years of age.

Study Design: In a cross-sectional study, the mandibular cortex was evaluated with Klemetti's index for cortical erosion. The cortical thickness was measured with a ruler adjusting for the magnification factor.
