Low trabecular bone density in recent sedentary modern humans.
OBJECTIVES: Research on a limited number of samples suggests that trabecular bone density (i.e., bone volume fraction, BVF) within spec...
A controlled trial comparing one-year biochemical bone metabolism outcome in postmenopausal frail osteopenic women under weekly alendronate treatment, with or without whole-body vibration intervention
Purpose:
The influence of regular exercise on bone properties is not well defined. Frail subjects have limitations to perform exercise...
Oscillatory whole-body vibration improves exercise capacity and physical performance in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a randomised clinical study.
OBJECTIVE: In patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), supportive therapies may be beneficial in addition to targeted medic...
High-Intensity Jump Training Is Tolerated during 60 Days of Bed Rest and Is Very Effective in Preserving Leg Power and Lean Body Mass: An Overview of the Cologne RSL Study.
PURPOSE:
Space agencies are looking for effective and efficient countermeasures for the degrading effects of weightlessness on the huma...
Lower insulin sensitivity is related to lower relative muscle cross-sectional area, lower muscle density and lower handgrip force in young and middle aged non-diabetic men.
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether an association between insulin resistance (IR) and muscle parameters is appreciable in youn...
Low-energy trauma-induced intercondylar femoral fracture.
We present a 44-year-old female patient with recurrent fragility fractures including an intercondylar femoral fracture and with normal ...
Effect of Exercise and Antidepressants on Skeletal Outcomes in Adolescent Girls With Anorexia Nervosa.
PURPOSE: We examined the relationships between malnutrition, lifestyle factors, and bone health in anorexia nervosa (AN) via dual-energ...
Habitual levels of higher, but not medium or low, impact physical activity are positively related to lower limb bone strength in older women: findings from a population-based study using accelerometers to classify impact magnitude.
This study assessed the effect of accelerometry-measured higher impacts resulting from habitual weight-bearing activity on lower limb b...
Unique effects of energy versus estrogen deficiency on multiple components of bone strength in exercising women.
Many female athletes are energy and/or estrogen deficient, but the independent effects on bone health have not been isolated. Energy de...
Patient-specific bone mineral density distribution in the tibia of individuals with chronic spinal cord injury, derived from multi-slice peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) – A cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND: The high risk of fracture associated with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is attributed to extensive disuse-related bone ...
