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...
Estrogens are essential for male pubertal periosteal bone expansion
The skeletal response to estrogen therapy was studied in a 17-yr-old boy with congenital aromatase deficiency. As expected, estrogen th...
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...
Bone mineral density in children with primary hyperoxaluria type I
BACKGROUND: In primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH 1), hepatic overproduction of oxalate leads to its deposition in various organ systems ...
Estimation of bone mineral density and architectural parameters of the distal radius in hemodialysis patients using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
We analyzed bone changes in a series of hemodialysis patients followed up for a maximum of 299 months by assessing bone mineral density...
Total, trabecular, and cortical bone mineral density in different regions of the glenoid
The purpose of this study was to analyze total, trabecular, and cortical bone mineral density (BMD) of different regions of the glenoid...
Can geometry-based parameters from pQCT and material parameters from quantitative ultrasound (QUS) improve the prediction of radial bone strength over that by bone mass (DXA)
The diagnosis of osteoporosis is generally based on the assessment of bone mineral content with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) but doe...
Hemoglobin levels and skeletal muscle: results from the InCHIANTI study
BACKGROUND: Anemia is associated with reduced physical performance and muscle strength. The aim of the study was to explore whether ane...
Analysis of the functional muscle-bone unit of the forearm in pediatric renal transplant recipients
BACKGROUND: Renal transplantation in children and adolescents is associated with various skeletal complications. The incidence of spont...
Accuracy and precision of peripheral quantitative computed tomography measurements at the tibial metaphysis
The ability of 29 peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) software analysis modes at defining cortical from trabecular bone ...
