To examine the frequency and severity of low bone mineral density (BMD) among patients enrolled in a methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program and to ascertain risk factors for low BMD in this population. Design Cross-sectional. Measurements Data derived from standardized survey, medical record ...
Within spinal surgery, low bone mineral density is associated with several postoperative complications, such as proximal junctional kyphosis, pseudoarthrosis, and screw loosening. Although modalities such as CT and MRI can be utilized to assess bone quality, DEXA scans, the “Gold Standard” for diag...
These measures for prevention and treatment can include gentle exercise, dietary modifications, and some lifestyle changes, depending on why the patient is considered at risk. In women, low estrogen levels can cause a decline in bone density. Young female athletes can be at risk because they ...

Osteoporosis is a global health problem for ageing populations. The goals of osteoporosis treatment are to improve bone mineral density (BMD) and prevent fractures. One major obstacle that remains a great challenge to achieve the goals is how to select t

Significantly torsional strength, stiffness, bone mineral content, bone mineral density and cartilage formation were observed in the callus from the group treated with 30 μg/kg PTH compared to that from the control group over 21 days; no difference in osteoclast density was detected. Other animal...
measure the health of the bones. It is a comparison of the person's bone density or mass to that of a healthy person who is of the same age and sex. Bone mineral density can show whether a person hasosteoporosis, risk for breaking bones and whether the osteoporosis treatment is working....
159 Canonical Wnt signaling starts when Wnt ligands bind to Frizzled and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 (Lrp5/6) receptors located on the cell membrane. The activation of Wnt signaling facilitates the accumulation of β-catenin through inhibition of GSK-3β-induced β-...
