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 ...
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
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 (...
[96]. For many years, conventional X-ray radiography has been advantageous in showing bone destruction and sclerosis due to its excellent contrast between bone and soft tissue density [97,98]. It can also reveal periosteal reaction and Codman triangle caused by the tumor, but it lacks ...
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 ...
Taking advantage of the synteny between human genome sequence and the murine introgressed region on chromosome 2, we identified histidine decarboxylase (HDC), the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of histamine, as a positional candidate gene for the observed variation in bone density. Notably,...
Flow chart of the proposed 2D–3D reconstruction method. The left half denotes training; the right half denotes test. Red frame: CNNs (TL net). Green frame: GAN (pix2pix). Full size image In step (2), as the CNNs for 2D–3D reconstruction, the TL-embedding network proposed by Girdh...
Objective: To meausre BMD changes for a year in pre-menopausal women with SLE and to identify factors associated with bone loss. Methods: Women with SLE, who participated in cross-sectional study in 2007, were invited to participate in a standardized interview, chart review and BMD measurements...
Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, MA. Background: Follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that usually arises at lymphoid tissue-rich sites. Extranodal tumors often pursue an aggressive clinical course; however, effective systemic therapies are lacking. The genetic ...
FIG. 16 is a flow chart similar to that of FIG. 14 showing the steps of obtaining the measurements shown in FIG. 15; FIG. 17 is a figure similar to FIG. 1 showing the placement of a film cassette beneath the patient table for simultaneously acquiring a digital dual energy density imag...
