Well-nourished cystic fibrosis patients have normal mineral density, but reduced cortical thickness at the forearm
SUMMARY: Our goal was to assess mineral density and geometry of the cortex at the level of the forearm in adolescents and young adults ...
Body composition, volumetric and areal bone parameters in male-to-female transsexual persons
CONTEXT: Male-to-female (M-->F) transsexual persons undergo extreme changes in gonadal hormone concentrations, both by pharmacologic...
A reference database for the Stratec XCT-2000 peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) scanner in healthy children and young adults aged 6-19 years.
SUMMARY: We have produced paediatric reference data for forearm sites using the Stratec XCT-2000 peripheral quantitative computed tomog...
Beta-adrenergic blockade and leptin replacement effectively mitigate disuse bone loss
Our objective was to test effects of beta-adrenergic blockade on hindlimb unloading (HU)-induced bone loss and serum leptin and to comp...
Serum estradiol is associated with volumetric BMD and modulates the impact of physical activity on bone size at the age of peak bone mass: a study in healthy male siblings.
This study investigates determinants of peak bone mass (PBM) in healthy men, focusing on effects and interactions of parameters reflect...
Tibial geometry in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 without anterolateral bowing of the lower leg using peripheral quantitative computed tomography.
INTRODUCTION: Lower leg bowing with tibial pseudarthrosis is associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The objective of the study...
Bone loss in the lower leg during 35 days of bed rest is predominantly from the cortical compartment.
Immobilization-induced bone loss is usually greater in the epiphyses than in the diaphyses. The larger fraction of trabecular bone in ...
Whole body vibration does not potentiate the stretch reflex
Whole body vibration (WBV) is theorized to enhance neural potentiation of the stretch reflex. The purpose of this study was to determin...
Acute enhancement of lower-extremity dynamic strength and flexibility with whole-body vibration
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on muscular strength, flexibility, and...
Ankle Flexors Produce Peak Torque at Longer Muscle Lengths after Whole-Body Vibration
INTRODUCTION:: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has become a popular training method in recent years. This study investigated the effect of W...
