Oral glucocorticoid-induced fall in cortical bone volume and density in postmenopausal asthmatic patients
Despite a deepening understanding of the influence of glucocorticoids (GC) on trabecular bone, little is known about GC-induced cortica...
Trabecular bone architecture in the distal radius using magnetic resonance imaging in subjects with fractures of the proximal femur. Magnetic Resonance Science Center and Osteoporosis and Arthritis Research Group
To determine whether magnetic resonance (MR)-derived measures of trabecular bone architecture in the distal radius are predictive for p...
Bone density measurements in pediatric patients with renal osteodystrophy
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can selectively measure the densities of cortical and trabecular bone, but there is ...
High and low density in the same bone: a study on children and adolescents with mild osteogenesis imperfecta
Children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) generally have low bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and hip. H...
Frailty syndrome and skeletal muscle: results from the Invecchiare in Chianti study
BACKGROUND: Frailty is a common condition in elders and identifies a state of vulnerability for adverse health outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Our...
Bone density comparison of selected carpal and tarsal bones: validation for their use in compression fracture fixation studies of scaphoid screws
