Changes in bone mass and bone turnover following tibial shaft fracture
INTRODUCTION: Bone loss occurs in the regional bone following tibial shaft fracture. An earlier cross-sectional study showed that measu...
Cortical pQCT measures are associated with fractures in dialysis patients
To determine if pQCT could identify HD patients with fractures, we conducted a cross-sectional study in 52 men and women on HD. We foun...
Structural adaptations to bone loss in aging men and women
INTRODUCTION: Bone apposition on the subperiosteal surface and bone loss from the endocortical surface during aging establish the exter...
Reduced bone mineral density in adults treated with high-dose corticosteroids for childhood nephrotic syndrome
BACKGROUND: Children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) receive repeated courses of high dose oral prednisolone. No previous...
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...

Is muscle power output a key factor in the age-related decline in physical performance? A comparison of muscle cross section, chair-rising test and jumping power
Ageing compromises locomotor capacity and is associated with an increased risk of falls. Several lines of evidence indicate that both c...
Lower estimates of net endogenous non-carbonic acid production are positively associated with indexes of bone health in premenopausal and perimenopausal women
BACKGROUND: The link between acid-base homeostasis and skeletal integrity has gained increasing prominence in the literature. Estimatio...
