Growth, bone health & ambulatory status of boys with DMD treated with daily vs. intermittent oral glucocorticoid regimen.
Oral glucocorticoids (GC) preserve muscle strength and prolong walking in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Although vertebr...
Circum-menarcheal bone acquisition is stress-driven: A longitudinal study in adolescent female gymnasts and non-gymnasts.
Mechanical loading through youth exercise is highly modifiable and represents a strategy to maximize peak adult bone mass, with the pot...
Good vibrations: itch induction by whole body vibration exercise without the need of a pruritogen.
Mechanically induced itch is an important cofactor in many patients with chronic itch. However, studying mechanical itch in a controll...
Whole-body vibration training and bone health in postmenopausal women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: The aims of the present systematic review and meta-analysis were to evaluate published, randomized controlled trials that i...
Low physical performance determined by chair rising test muscle mechanography is associated with prevalent fragility fractures.
This study examined associations between physical performance assessed by chair rising test muscle mechanography and DXA T-score as wel...
Hip and spine bone mineral density are greater in master sprinters, but not endurance runners compared with non-athletic controls.
We examined bone density in older athletes and controls. Sprinters had greater hip and spine bone density than endurance athletes and c...

Type 2 diabetes is associated with higher trabecular bone density but lower cortical bone density: the Vietnam Osteoporosis Study.
It is not clear why type 2 diabetes (T2D) has an increased risk of fracture despite higher areal bone mineral density. This study showe...
Effects of a 6-week, whole-body vibration strength-training on depression symptoms, endocrinological and neurobiological parameters in adolescent inpatients experiencing a major depressive episode (the ‚Balancing Vibrations Study‘): study protocol for a r
