A bone mineral density test, sometimes just called abone density test, detects whether you have osteoporosis, a word that comes from Greek and literally means “porous bone.” When you have this condition, your bones get weak and thin. They become more likely to break. It’s a silent cond...
The definition of “high fracture risk” can vary across different countries and is often based on factors like previous fracture history, bone density, and calculated fracture risk using tools like FRAX®. For these high-risk patients, anabolic agents like teriparatide, abaloparatide, or romos...
In addition, the medication in the original bolus can act as a foreign body and continuous source of inflammation. Attempts may be made to remove the bolus and clean out the pocket of entrapped feed material either orally or via an external surgical incision. However, unless closed, these ...

It has been hypothesized that deformation of the osteocyte lacuna, strain energy density in the bone tissue (Mullender et al., 1994; Huiskes et al., 2000) or strain-derived fluid flow in the osteocyte canalicular channels (Cowin et al., 1995) might stimulate the cell membrane. Experiments ...
5a). The number of IL-17A+ cells significantly increased 2 and 7 days after injury and the density of these cells was higher in the drill hole than in the injured muscle at day 2 (Fig. 5c). Figure 5: γδT cells produce IL-17A on bone injury. (a) IL-17A-producing cells in ...
If over-the-counter pain relievers don't help or if your pain interferes with your regular activities, your doctor may prescribe pain medication or injections. Regardless of what's causing your tailbone pain, your doctor may recommend these treatments to manage and alleviate the pain: An ...
(Fig. 3b) and bone mineral density (BMD) (Fig. 3c) confirmed that miR-21 deficiency promotes trabecular bone mass accrual. These changes were attributed to increases in the thickness and number of the trabecular bone (Fig. 3d,e), and a decrease in the separation of the trabecular bone (...
Donepezil, an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) targeting the brain, is a common medication for Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, a recent clinical study found that administration of this agent is associated with lower risk of hip fracture independently of falling, suggesting its direct effect...
