Case-control study of the muscular compartments and osseous strength in neurofibromatosis type 1 using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Skeletal anomalies are observed in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), but the pathogenesis is unknown. Given that muscle mass is important...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the distal radius in young subjects – new reference data and interpretation of results
Application of bone densitometry to clinical use requires the availability of accessible reference data and is helped by an interpretat...
Three children with lower limb fractures and a mineralization defect: a novel bone fragility disorder
In this report, we describe three unrelated children with an apparently novel bone fragility disorder that is associated with an idiopa...
Association of an aromatase TTTA repeat polymorphism with circulating estrogen, bone structure, and biochemistry in older women
Osteoporosis is a disease that is strongly genetically determined. Aromatase converts androgens to estradiol in postmenopausal women, t...
Growth hormone changes bone geometry and body composition in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis requiring glucocorticoid treatment: a controlled study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Osteopenia and growth retardation have been described in children with chronic arthritis. GH has an impact on both. In the present cont...
Mechanical strength of the proximal femur as predicted from geometric and densitometric bone properties at the lower limb versus the distal radius
This experimental study compares geometric and densitometric properties of cortical and trabecular bone at the lower limb and the dista...
Increased periosteal circumference remains present 12 months after an exercise intervention in preschool children
We previously reported that calcium intake enhanced the leg bone response to physical activity of preschool children in a 12-month rand...
Rural versus nonrural differences in BMC, volumetric BMD, and bone size: a population-based cross-sectional study
Despite reports of lower fracture risk among rural versus urban populations, few studies have investigated rural versus urban differenc...
The clinical significance of serum osteocalcin and N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen in predialysis patients with chronic renal failure
Several new serum markers for bone metabolism have recently become available and are being applied to clinical practice. Their clinical...
