Differentiating between orchiectomized rats and controls using measurements of trabecular bone density: a comparison among DXA, histomorphometry, and peripheral quantitative computerized tomography
In studies of rat bone metabolism, trabecular bone density should be measured. Three established methods of measuring trabecular bone i...
Tomographic (pQCT) and biomechanical effects of hPTH(1-38) on chronically immobilized or overloaded rat femurs
Six-month old rats chronically submitted to right hindlimb immobilization (IM) with mechanical overload (OL) of the left leg were treat...
Mobil bleiben – Pflege bei Gehstörungen und Sturzgefahr
Die Selbstständigkeit älterer Menschen wird durch kaum ein anderes Problem so stark bedroht wie durch die Einschränkung der Bewegungsfä...
Fall risk assessment in very old males and females living in nursing homes
BACKGROUND: Several studies identified muscle weakness, history of falls, gait deficit and balance deficit as the most common risk fact...
Effect of primary hyperparathyroidism on volumetric bone mineral density and bone geometry assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography in postmenopausal women
CONTEXT: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PH) is characterized by inappropriate PTH elevation with or without hypercalcemia. Bone disease i...
Effects of on/off anabolic hPTH and remodeling inhibitors on metaphyseal bone of immobilized rat femurs. Tomographical (pQCT) description and correlation with histomorphometric changes in tibial cancellous bone
An anabolic effect of hPTH(1-38) (s.c. doses of 200 micrograms/kg/d during 75 days) on trabecular and cortical bone mass is tomographic...
Intravenous olpadronate restores ovariectomy-affected bone strength. A mechanical, densitometric and tomographic (pQCT) study
Female Wistar rats aged 3 months were ovariectomized (OX, n = 27). Three months later they were given i.v. doses of 150 (6), 300 (7), o...
Perspectives of pQCT technology associated to biomechanical studies in skeletal research employing rat models
Assessment of bone material quality and architectural indicators by means of peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) offers ...
Mechanical validation of a tomographic (pQCT) index for noninvasive estimation of rat femur bending strength
Cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) and volumetric cortical bone mineral density (vCtBMD) were assessed by peripheral quantitative...
