Preclinical studies in mice have demonstrated that osteoblasts influence the development of blood cells, particularly erythrocytes, B lymphocytes, and neutrophils. However, it is unknown whether osteoblast numbers or function impact blood cell counts in humans. We tested the hypothesis that men with low...
X-rays to see if you have fractures, healed fractures, weak spots, or deformed bones. A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (also called DXA or DEXA) scan to check your bone density or solidity. Lab tests of yourblood, spit, or pee. These tests can help rule out other health conditions ...
Intriguingly, these mice further developed significant trabecular bone loss after 12 weeks of HFD feeding as revealed by the significant bone volume fraction (bone volume over total volume BV/TV), lower bone mineral density (v. BMD) and trabecular number (Tb. N) of distal femoral metaphysis in...
The study aimed to utilize machine learning (ML) approaches and genomic data to develop a prediction model for bone mineral density (BMD) and identify the best modeling approach for BMD prediction. The genomic and phenotypic data of Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (n = 5130) was analyz...
If the material properties of cortical and cancellous bone are approximately equal, the properties of the two tissues were long thought to vary because trabecular bone has a lower bone volume fraction; the apparent density, sometimes referred to as tissue density, a measurement taking porosity into...
In general, multi events, such as blood clotting, inflammatory response, fibrocartilage callus formation, intramembranous and endochondral ossification, and bone remodeling are involved in the secondary bone fracture repair. Specific to the major metabolic activity, anabolism in a bone fracture is ...
(3CM) by DXA, as well as bone mineral density (BMD). Blood biochemical parameters (fasting glucose and lipid profile), physical activity (PA) measured by GPAQ, and average dietary habits (R24h) were measured. In the overweight/obesity group, the 5CM and 3CM adipose mass were indirectly ...
The risk of fracture was evaluated by using the FRAX® tool [10] based on an algorithm that takes into account demographic characteristics, medical history, some clinical risk factors as well as bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck. The exclusion criteria were risk of fracture (...
A method and apparatus for measuring bone density is disclosed. The method and apparatus use high-energy and low-energy images of hard-tissue and soft-tissue references to determine characteristics of
The 99 age-matched male controls were recruited from healthy blood-donors who were not on medication or suffering from any known condition affecting bone density or sex hormone status. Ethical consideration The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Ulm, Germany, (applicati...
