Keep in mind: Focusing too closely on the DEXA bone density scores can be a mistake. Many doctors admit that the DEXA T-score is not a perfect predictor for bone health or fracture risk. That’s why it’s important to consider taking the other tests. Furthermore, your risk factors are...
The aim was to describe baseline characteristics and changes in bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores among women with PMO receiving denosumab in Bulgaria. This multicenter chart review included women with PMO receiving denosumab for ≥1 year in Bulgaria (October 2011–August 2013). Participants ...
However, the influence of bone mineral density and parathyroidectomy on subsequent fracture risk is unclear. The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with PHPT based on administrative discharge abstract data. The dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan T-scores at the ...
The following parameters were scored independently by two pathologists: mesh deformation, extent of fibrous encapsulation, nerve density and ingrowth, degree of inflammation, edema, vascular thrombosis, fat necrosis, muscle involvement, polypropylene degradation. Results: All meshes showed folds and scar ...
Blood samples were obtained to quantify serum glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Subjects with BMI Z scores of +3 or −3; values of glucose ≥100 mg/dL, total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL; HDL...
Patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) may have several risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of low BMD in IBMFS and determine the associated risk factors. Patients with IBMFS with at
(Fn). Elevated angiogenic and pro-inflammatory secretions were associated with more unfolded Fn adsorbed on nanoscale rough HAP facets with low surface charge density. The study suggested that the complex interactions between crystal surface properties, protein deposition, and cancer cell interactions ...
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
To determine the effects of high velocity resistance training (HVRT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in older adults. Methods A systematic review was conducted using five databases. Records were screened by two independent reviewers. Inclusion criteria: adults ≥50 years old, HVRT defined as rapid ...
