This study demonstrates that the new multisource CBCT significantly improves the accuracy of bone mineral density measurement compared to the current generation of clinical CBCT systems without increasing the imaging dose. The device provides 3D volumetric imaging capability at the quality and accuracy sim...
about the efficacy of anti-osteoporosis drugs in persons with advanced CKD (i.e., subjects with CKD G4–G5), and existing noninvasive investigations have limitations in differentiating osteoporosis from adynamic bone disease. Lastly, many patients are unwilling to undergo an invasivebone biopsy. ...
The drugs used to activate our safety switches we describe (ganciclovir and AP20) are safely used in patients44,50, suggesting the clinical translatability of our proposed safety assurance systems. Any marker-based strategy to deplete unwanted cells—such as the ones we report here—are only as...
Aim: To observe the improving effect of pulse electromagnetic field (PEF) on the bone mineral density (BMD) and low back pain(LBP) in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods: Sixteen female patients, aged 48-69 years old, with type 1 post-menopausal osteoporosis were treated by PEF...
Some drugs can indeed become habit-forming if misused or taken over a long period of time – but whether or not someone becomes addicted depends not only on the way they are administered but also on individual factors such as genetics and previous experience of drug use, as well as other ...
Most of the senior citizens need prescription drugs on a regular basis, and they end up taking a big part of the medical expenses. Hearing and dental coverage The providers of the Medicare Advantage plan understand that the senior citizens might need additional health care apart from the routine...
The effects of the drugs on body weight, thyroid function, orbital inflammation, fibrosis and lipogenesis were observed. Results: The expression of TSG-6 in the orbital tissues of TAO patient is lower than that of normal people. In our animal model, mice showed weight loss, higher TT4 and ...
the dense structure of biofilms hinders the diffusion of drugs, further reducing their ability to reach all the bacterial cells93,94. Second, biofilms contain a subpopulation of bacteria known as persister cells, which exhibit a dormant or slow-growing state that renders them highly tolerant to an...
