We hypothesized that low bone density following early adolescent pregnancy persists into young adult life. Methods A cohort of 256 women was identified by chart review. Participants were eligible if they delivered before the age of 16 years and were aged 20 to 45 years at time of study. We ...
We constructed age- and sex-smoothed reference values for areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of total body less head (TBLH), total body (TB), lumbar spine (LS), and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) for LS, by means of Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (...
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard measure of bone density. Implementing DXA screening for osteoporosis can help prevent fragility fractures. The purpose of this retrospective chart review was to describe the screening patterns of primary care providers, using DXA scans in ...
Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone disease among pre- and postmenopausal women. As the precursors of osteoclast cells, circulating monocytes play important role in bone destruction and remodeling. The aim of study is to identify potent
Aging led to a continuous increase in bone mineral density in the femur of laying hens. The continuous deposition of medullary bone in the bone marrow cavity of aged laying hens led to significant trabecular bone loss and weakened bone metabolism. The cecal microbial composition significantly shifted...
The following parameters were scored independently by two pathologists: mesh deformation, extent of fibrous encapsulation, nerve density and ingrowth, degree of inflammation, edema, vascular thrombosis, fat necrosis, muscle involvement, polypropylene degradation. Results: All meshes showed folds and scar ...
Retrospective chart review of 38 patients (pts) with CMT seen at LCH from 2012-22 revealed 21 pts (age 7-24 years(y)) who had Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Lumbar (LS) and total body less head (TBLH) bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) were measured (GE/Lunar iDXA). ...
Bone density and hyaline-like cartilage were found, indicating endochondral ossification repairing processes. [58] Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a widely studied polyester in many tissue engineering applications. This polymer has been extensively used to fabricate electrospun PCL nanofiber scaffolds that could ...
Flow chart of the study process. Full size image The baseline characteristics of the study sample are presented in Table 1. The rate of participants who never used SRIs was lower in subjects with a new diagnosis of low bone density than in those without such a diagnosis. At the same time...
A dual energy densitometer includes a solid state linear x-ray detector which may be swept across the patient with the movement of a poly-energetic fan beam of x-rays to produce a digital bone density image. A broad spectrum film plate interposed between the detector and the patient simultaneo...
