Age- and gender-related differences in vertebral bone mass, density, and strength
This study was designed to evaluate age- and gender-related differences in vertebral bone mass, density, and strength by dual-energy X-...
The volumetric bone density and cortical thickness in adult patients affected by osteogenesis imperfecta
In patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a disease characterized by abnormal bone fragility, bone mineral density (BMD) was found...
Cortical bone density is normal in prepubertal children with growth hormone (GH) deficiency, but initially decreases during GH replacement due to early bone remodeling
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has revealed that GH- deficient adults gain in bone mineral density during GH therapy. Measurem...
Aging bone in men and women: beyond changes in bone mineral density
Using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) we assessed trabecular and cortical bone density, mass and geometric distribut...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the tibia: pediatric reference values.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) has been used in a number of pediatric studies. Reference data for children are prim...
Effects of whole-body vibration exercise on lower-extremity muscle strength and power in an older population: a randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vibration training is a relatively new exercise intervention. This study investigated the effects of vibration ...
Effect of alendronate and exercise on bone and physical performance of postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-month trial we evaluated effects of weight- bearing jumping exercise and oral a...
Vertebral fracture and cortical bone changes in corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis
Despite an intriguing understanding of trabecular bone dynamics, little is known about corticosteroid-induced cortical bone loss and fr...
Peripheral quantitative Computed Tomography (PQCT) in the evaluation of bone geometry, biomechanics and mineral density in postmenopausal women
AIM: Non-invasive assessment of bone geometry, biomechanics, and mineral content in postmenopausal women by peripheral quantitative Com...
