Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the femoral neck in 60 Japanese women
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is able to evaluate trabecular and cortical bone separately, and to determine geomet...
Age-related changes assessed by peripheral QCT in healthy Italian women
The purpose of this study was to describe the normal cross-sectional pattern of radial bone loss associated with aging in healthy women...
Age-related changes in the biochemical properties of human cancellous bone collagen: relationship to bone strength
The metabolism of bone collagen has received little attention in relation to age-related loss of bone mass and strength. The aim of the...
Bone metabolism and bone mineral density in childhood hypophosphatasia
Childhood hypophosphatasia (HP) is an inborn error of bone metabolism, characterized by a reduced tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkal...
Tomographical description of tennis-loaded radius: reciprocal relation between bone size and volumetric BMD
Effects of long-term tennis loading on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and geometric properties of playing-arm radius were exami...
Trabecular bone mineral and calculated structure of human bone specimens scanned by peripheral quantitative computed tomography: relation to biomechanical properties
The relationship of cortical bone mineral density (BMD), and geometry to bone strength has been well documented. In this study, we used...
Age at menarche and cortical bone geometry in premenopausal women
Previous studies have suggested that the timing of puberty might have an impact on the adult skeleton. What composite of bone structure...
