Volume 80, Number 4 | Bone mineral density testing: Is a T score enough to determine the screening interval?VolumeCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine
This prospective study was carried out to assess trabecular bone score, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone biochemistry in Indian subjects with symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), and to study the influence of baseline parathyroid hormone (PTH) on recovery of these parameters following ...
Notably, DXA bone mineral density (BMD) was not found to be significantly predictive of new-onset fractures in the multivariable analysis (p=0.081). CONCLUSION Here we demonstrate the novel, MRI-derived VBQ score is both an independent predictor of fragility fracture in at-risk patients and a...
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
The specific inclusion criteria were: (1) the patient was aged ≥ 70 years, or the bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was T ≤ -2.5; (2) the patient had a known history of hypochondriac pain and/or back pain, with or without limited ...
density-mediated attrition has affected the assemblage, cattle elements with higher density values would be present in higher quantities than elements with lower density values. Using this technique, I compared previously calculated cattle-specific bone density values against percent survivorship of elements...
Sensitivity and specificity of a range of SCORE cut-points were assessed in a receiver operating characteristics analysis to determine the optimal cut-point for SCORE. With low bone density defined as a T-score ≤ −2.0, a SCORE cut-point of 6 in women ages 50–59 yr displayed a ...
(D) False-color intensity images and raw integrated density measurements reveal the decrease of bglap:GFP intensity in segment 0 (yellow arrowheads and graph), while segment −1 and segment −2 remain unaffected. Red arrowheads, amputation plane. Red line, length of the regenerate. Lines in...
Vitamin D deficiency is a candidate risk factor for osteoporosis, characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD). We performed this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effect of vitamin D on BMD. We extracted 143 single-nucleotide polymorphisms from a re...
advantage is that the effects of various imaging parameters related to the contrast of the image, such as X-ray irradiation time and irradiation dose, can be removed from the input image because the intensity of CT in Hounsfield units is normalized so that it linearly correlates with density. ...
