Modeling of cross-sectional bone size, mass and geometry at the proximal radius: a study of normal bone development using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
It is becoming increasingly accepted that bone size is an important determinant of bone mass. Studies on the development of bone size m...
The developing bone: slave or master of its cells and molecules
A large number of molecular, cellular, and epidemiologic factors have been implicated in the regulation of bone development. A major un...
Anthropometric assessment of muscularity during growth: estimating fat-free mass with 2 skinfold-thickness measurements is superior to measuring midupper arm muscle area in healthy prepubertal children
BACKGROUND: Anthropometric measurements are widely used to determine body composition, especially in children. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was t...
The muscle-bone relationship: methods and management – perspectives in glycogen storage disease
Currently bone development is commonly presented as a process leading to the 'accumulation of peak bone mass'. Consequently, the usual ...
The bone behind a low areal bone mineral density: peripheral quantitative computed tomographic analysis in a woman with osteogenesis imperfecta
Areal bone mineral density (BMD) is the most widely used densitometric parameter. However, this approach makes it difficult to understa...
Influence of puberty on muscle development at the forearm
Despite its fundamental importance for physical development, the growth of the muscle system has received relatively little considerati...
Cut-off values determined for vertebral fracture by peripheral quantitative computed tomography in Japanese women
In spite of the benefits of bone mass measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the use of DXA has limitations. It is unab...
Site-specific skeletal response to long-term weight training seems to be attributable to principal loading modality: a pQCT study of female weightlifters
Physical training may be able to improve bone strength through site-specific changes in the composition, size and structure of the bone...
Musculoskeletal analyses of the forearm in young women with Turner syndrome: a study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with multiple skeletal abnormalities. Fracture incidence appears to be increased, but the reasons fo...
Correlation of bone mineral density with strength and microstructural parameters of cortical bone in vitro
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of microstructural parameters, such as porosity and osteon dimensions, on strength....
