Adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMSCs) instead of osteoblast formation contributes to age- and menopause-related marrow adiposity and osteoporosis. Vascular calcification often occurs with osteoporosis, a contradictory association called “calcification paradox”. Here ...
Clinical information collected included age, sex, location of tumor, and personal/family history of schwannomas or genetic syndromes. Results: Out of 1960 cases of schwannoma reviewed, 23 pediatric NVS from 9 males and 13 females (age range 5 months to 18 years) were identified; sites included...
Men were categorized into similar cohorts of young men (n=9) age 20–29 years; men (n=13) age 30–39 years; men (n=7) age 40–49 years; men (n=6) age 51–60 years and older men (n=21) age 61–90 years. Materials/Methods: All subjects had their BMD assessed in both feet...
A 10-year-old Japanese boy with nonendocrine short stature who was treated with GH showed discordant pubertal development and advanced skeletal maturation. GH therapy was started at 6.8 years of age at a dose of 0.5u/kg/week, when his height age was 3.3 years and bone age was 4.8 years....
FT was significantly positive related to total hip BMD and total lumbar BMD, whereas there was no association between TT and BMD after adjusting for age, BMI and FT. SHBG levels were also inversely related to BMD. SHBG could explain 1.4-2.1% of the BMD variance after adjustment for age, ...

While other studies have shown that a 10% increase in peak bone mass during adolescence can stave off osteoporosis for up to 13 years, this team wondered what sports activities might help most. Intheir studyof close to 1,600 folks between 65 and 84 years of age, they zeroed in on ...
Bone conduction aids have been shown to improve quality of life in the elderly population, and to have a similar complication rate to those fitted with bone-conduction aids at a younger age [35]. View article The Scientific Basis for the Assessment of Hearing Mark E. Lutman, in Hearing ...
Results: The age of the patients ranged from 27 to 95 years with a mean of 60. The male to female ratio was 1.5:1. The tumor size ranged from 2.5 cm to 47 cm. Among 19 specimens without decalcification, seventeen cases (13 conventional CHS and 4 dedifferentiated CHS) tested well for ...
