- Gonadal sex steroid status and bone health in middle-aged and elderly European men
SUMMARY The influence of sex steroids on calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters was assessed in a population sample of middle-aged and elderly European men. Higher free and ...
- OSTEOLOGY OSTEOPOROSIS: -Hip fractures in Italy: 2000–2005 extension study
SUMMARY A total of 507,671 people ≥65 experienced hip fractures between 2000 and 2005. In 2005, 94,471 people ≥65 were hospitalized due to hip fractures, corresponding to a 28.5% ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -Population-based Canadian hip fracture rates with international comparisons
SUMMARY We identified hospitalizations throughout Canada during 2000–2005 in which the most responsible diagnosis was a proximal femoral fracture. Use of the US fracture ...
- OSTEOLOGY IN MEN: Bone mineral density and prevalent osteoarthritis of the hip in older men for the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study Group
SUMMARY We evaluated the association of bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip in elderly men. We found that elderly men with moderate to severe ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -International comparison of cost of falls in older adults living in the community: a systematic review
SUMMARY: Our objective was to determine international estimates of the economic burden of falls in older people living in the community. Our systematic review emphasized ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -OSTEOPOROSIS: -INTERLEUKIN -6: The role of interleukin-6 in rheumatoid arthritis-associated osteoporosis
Introduction Osteoporosis is highly prevalent in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a frequent cause of fractures, disability, reduced quality of life and increased use ...
- OSTEOLOGY: OSTEOPOROSIS GENETIC: -Common variants in FLNB/CRTAP, not ARHGEF3 at 3p, are associated with osteoporosis in southern Chinese women
Summary We performed an association study of five candidate genes within chromosome 3p14-25 in 1,080 Chinese female subjects. Polymorphisms in FLNB/CRTAP are associated with bone ...
- OSTEOLOGY IN HEMIPARETIC DISTAL TIBIA:- Compromised bone strength index in the hemiparetic distal tibia epiphysis among chronic stroke patients: the association with cardiovascular function, muscle atrophy, mobility, and spasticity
Summary The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of the bone strength index of the distal tibia epiphysis in chronic stroke patients. The results showed that ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -Longitudinal changes in femur bone mineral density after spinal cord injury: effects of slice placement and peel method
Summary Surveillance of femur metaphysis bone mineral density (BMD) decline after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be subject to slice placement error of 2.5%. Adaptations to ...
- OSTEOPOROSIS: -Selecting men for bone densitometry: performance of osteoporosis risk assessment tools in Portuguese men
Abstract & Summary Clinicians need tools to identify patients most likely to benefit from bone mineral density (BMD) testing, for which cost–effectiveness does not allow ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -PTH improves titanium implant fixation more than pamidronate or renutrition in osteopenic rats chronically fed a low protein diet
Summary We evaluated the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH), pamidronate, or renutrition on osseo integration of titanium implants in the proximal tibia of rats subject to ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -HIP STRUCTURAL GEOMETRY: -Hip structural geometry and incidence of hip fracture in postmenopausal women: what does it add to conventional bone mineral density?
Summary Hip geometry measurements of outer diameter and buckling ratio at the intertrochanter and shaft of the hip dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan predicted incident hip fracture ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -Relationship between 3-month changes in biochemical markers of bone remodelling and changes in bone mineral density and fracture incidence in patients treated with strontium ranelate for 3 years
Summary From two randomised controlled trials, it is shown that 3-month changes in biochemical markers of bone formation (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and C-terminal propeptide ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -Bone mineral density reference ranges for Australian men: Geelong Osteoporosis Study
Summary A large population-based random sample of Australian white men was used to provide normative bone mineral density (BMD) data at multiple anatomical sites. The femoral neck ...
- OSTEOLOGY: -The Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy: implementation of a population-based osteoporosis action plan in Canada
In the last decade, there have been a number of action plans published to highlight the importance of preventing osteoporosis and related fractures. In the province of Ontario Canada, the Ministry ...
