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...
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...
Bone mass and density response to a 12-month trial of calcium and vitamin D supplement in preadolescent girls
BACKGROUND: Maximal bone acquisition in adolescent girls through dietary and lifestyle practices is advocated to prevent or minimize th...
Analysis of muscle strength and bone structure in children with renal disease
Bone structure and muscular strength of 30 children with renal disease were investigated by peripheral computed tomography and grip str...
Analysis of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents receiving anticonvulsant monotherapy with valproic acid or carbamazepine
OBJECTIVE: To examine bone development in children and adolescents who have uncomplicated idiopathic epilepsy and had received monother...
