Alterations in bone characteristics associated with glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether bone characteristics in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) are influenced by blood glucose ...
Effects of joint unloading and reloading on human cartilage morphology and function, muscle cross-sectional areas, and bone density – a quantitative case report
Recent studies have shown that thinning of human cartilage occurs with unloading, but no data are available on the effect of remobiliza...
Bone adaptation to altered loading after spinal cord injury: a study of bone and muscle strength
Bone loss from the paralysed limbs after spinal cord injury (SCI) is well documented. Under physiological conditions, bones are adapted...
Bone geometric response to chronic disuse following stroke: a pQCT study
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to 1) assess volumetric bone geometry and density at the distal radius of individuals wit...
Loading modalities and bone structures at nonweight-bearing upper extremity and weight-bearing lower extremity: a pQCT study of adult female athletes
This cross-sectional study of adult female athletes assessed whether the apparent loading-related differences in bone structure are pri...
Evaluation of cortical bone by peripheral quantitative computed tomography in renal transplant recipients
BACKGROUND: The absolute risk of fractures in renal transplant patients is 3 times that of matched controls. Most of the symptomatic fr...
Effects of age, grip strength and smoking on forearm volumetric bone mineral density and bone geometry by peripheral quantitative computed tomography: comparisons between female and male
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is useful to measure volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) distinguishing trabecula...
Correlates of bone quality in older persons
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: In a population-based sample of older persons, we studied the relationship between tibial bone density and geomet...
COL1A1 Sp1 polymorphism associates with bone density in early puberty
Optimal acquisition of bone mass in puberty is a key determinant of the lifetime risk of osteoporosis and has a strong genetic basis. W...
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...
