The development of metaphyseal cortex–implications for distal radius fractures during growth
Fractures of the distal radial metaphysis are very common in otherwise healthy children. The reasons for this high fracture incidence a...
Inhomogeneity of human vertebral cancellous bone: systematic density and structure patterns inside the vertebral body
In the spine, cancellous bone quality is usually assessed for the whole vertebral body in a transverse central slice. Correct identific...
pQCT measurement of bone parameters in young children: validation of technique
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures areal bone mineral density (BMD) and is affected by bone size. Peripheral quantitative ...
Peripheral computed tomography (pQCT) detected short-term effect of AAACa (heated oyster shell with heated algal ingredient HAI): a double-blind comparison with CaCO3 and placebo
Trabecular bone density at the distal radius and cortical bone density at the midradius were measured in four randomized groups of wome...
Dietary influences on bone mass and bone metabolism: further evidence of a positive link between fruit and vegetable consumption and bone health
BACKGROUND: The role of nutritional influences on bone health remains largely undefined because most studies have focused attention on ...
Association of the vitamin D receptor genotype BB with low bone density in hyperthyroidism
Bone mineral density (BMD) is modulated by genetic and environmental factors or certain diseases. In several conditions such as low cal...
Bone densities and bone size at the distal radius in healthy children and adolescents: a study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) has the ability to improve the diagnostic utility of densitometry in children and ad...
The development of bone strength at the proximal radius during childhood and adolescence
Current investigations of bone development mostly focus on bone mass, but bone strength may be functionally more important than mass. T...
Bone-muscle strength indices for the human lower leg
This cross-sectional study is based on images from the lower leg as assessed by peripheral quantitative computer tomography (pQCT). Mea...
Bone density in asthmatic children treated with inhaled corticosteroids
Volumetric trabecular bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (vTBMD) and distal radius (rTBMD) were measured in 20 prepubertal white ...
