SCORE results were compared to hip and lumbar spine bone density assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry. 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 ...

Other secondary outcomes measured by the numerical rating score on POD 1 included postoperative nausea and vomiting, sleep quality on the first postoperative night, dyspnea, restlessness/anxiety, and distress from motor and sensory blockade of the distal arm. We also documented the use of ...
Non-impact exercise (e.g., weight lifting) also resulted in improvements in the lumbar spine (1.0%). Similar results were found in pre-menopausal women (Wallace and Cumming 2000). Prevention of falls and fractures Several studies have shown that exercise reduces the risk and (or) the number...
In regards to the SDQ outcomes, the only contaminant associated with the total difficulties score was lead and a significant interaction term between lead and prenatal smoking (p = 0.029) was observed. Specifically, for each one unit increase in the ln-lead level, the odds ratio for a borderl...
Recent clinical trials have indicated that lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels below currently recommended targets results in favourable surrogate and clinical end points. The Treating to New Targets (TNT) study now confirms that aggressive cholesterol lowering to a mean LDL-C ...
demonstrated improvements in bone mineral density at the hip and spine (4.5% higher than placebo for hip and 6.2% higher than placebo for spine) with ibandronate (150 mg orally, every 28 days); in addition, ibandronate improved serum levels of NTX, CTX-I, bone AP, as well as T-score ...
