of the eccentric phase of the lift (strength training group), and an explosive concentric phase of the lift (power training group) and found that the power training group maintained BMD more effectively at the lumbar spine and proximal femur in postmenopausal women over a two-year period [15]...
A conventional bone density test such as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is usually not feasible and could unnecessarily delay the time to surgery. In this context, the DTI is a validated and simple instrument for assessing local bone quality in the proximal humerus, making it ...
This is a cross-sectional observational study of the relation of lumbar spine bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) and related clinical parameters to X-linked MECP2 mutations in 49 girls with RTT syndrome, aged 1.9 –17 y, one male child, aged 6 y, and five women...
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
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene. In 49 female RTT children, aged 1.9–17 y, bone mass was assessed and correlated with clinical parameters and mutations involving the MECP2 gene. We als
These patients accumulated 22,990 PYs for the risk of refracture. Then, the majority of the included studies were focused on post-menopausal women. Fig. 1 Flow chart Full size image Table 1 Characteristics of included randomized controlled trials Full size table Figure 2 shows the forest plots...
BC is one of the most common cancers among women. Similarly, in the absence of estrogen or androgen, increased osteoclast activity and bone remodeling lead to the release of osteogenic factors from resorbed bone, creating a favorable environment for the survival and growth of tumor cells. In add...
Croix A, McCloskey E, Mellstrom D, Melton LJ, Pols H, Reeve J, Sanders K, Schott AM, Silman A, Torgerson D, Van Staa T, Watts NB, Yoshimura N: The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women....
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,...
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 ...
