Muscle atrophy and bone loss after 90 days’ bed rest and the effects of flywheel resistive exercise and pamidronate: results from the LTBR study
Muscle atrophy and bone loss pose substantial problems for long-term space flight and in clinical immobilization. We therefore tested t...
Maturity- and sex-related changes in tibial bone geometry, strength and bone-muscle strength indices during growth: a 20-month pQCT study
During growth, bone strength is conferred through subtle adaptations in bone mass and geometry in response to muscle forces. Few studie...
Bone structure and volumetric density in young adults born prematurely: a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study
Prematurity is known to be associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in childhood, but whether this condition has long-term de...
Bone geometry and density in the skeleton of pre-pubertal gymnasts and school children
We have studied the differences between the peripheral and axial skeleton of pre-pubertal gymnasts and controls. We hypothesised that c...
Fracture threshold in the femur and tibia of people with spinal cord injury as determined by peripheral quantitative computed tomography
OBJECTIVE: To determine bone traits of the femur and tibia with peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) that best distinguis...
L-arginine, the natural precursor of NO, is not effective for preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women
NO is an important regulator of bone turnover. L-Arginine, the natural precursor of NO, can enhance NO production. However, no effect o...
Speed of sound: relation to geometric characteristics of bone in children, adolescents, and adults
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relation between volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and speed of sound (SOS). STUDY DESIGN: Total an...
Quantitative bone analysis in children: current methods and recommendations
Over the past decade there have been an increasing number of published manuscripts dealing with pediatric bone mineral density (BMD). T...
Co-existence of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and primary hyperparathyroidism: case report and review of the literature
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a dominant disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia due to impaired renal tubular reabsorp...
