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...
Skeletal effects of long-term estrogen and testosterone replacement treatment in a man with congenital aromatase deficiency: evidences of a priming effect of estrogen for sex steroids action on bone
