Bone mineral density measurements are used increasingly to asses the future risk of fracture and t monitor the response to treatment. The lumbar region, which is usually used for these measurements (L1-L4), is the most reproducible. It is also commonly affected by degenerative spinal disease, ...

Early diagnosis and treatment led to complete resolution, avoiding late and serious complications associated with this pathology in the geriatric population, especially severe and progressive dysphagia and risk of pulmonary aspiration, and the consequent morbidity and mortality associated. A multidisciplinary ...

It is known that local anti-inflammatory treatment with drugs such as triamcinolone acetonide or COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib inhibits osteophyte formation very efficiently [8,22]. Synovial inflammation and, more specifically, the macrophages in the synovial lining are known to play a role in osteophyte...
suggesting the higher inflammatory levels in Sprague Dawleys are mostly on a local level. This increased inflammation could also be connected to the high number of osteophytes that were observed in Sprague Dawley rats. It is known that local anti-inflammatory treatment with drugs such as triamcinolo...
