Hip fractures are common, especially in older adults, and require timely medical and surgical intervention. These injuries can significantly impact a patient’s mobility, quality of life, and overall health. Hip fractures are a medical emergency, and delayed treatment can lead to severe consequences. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from prolonged immobility, ...
MSCs exhibit specific morphology, which makes them unique compared to other cell types typically used in CLD. While forming spindle-shaped, elongated, and transparent cell projections, the MSCs can pose a significant challenge when it comes to imaging and subsequent image analysis. Many imaging systems on the market are simply not fit for precise detection of these unusual cell types. ...
Introduction to OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic multi-causal skeletal disease that is prone to fractures due to changes in systemic bone mass and microstructure of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility. ...
In addition to gastric diseases, colonization with these bacteria is also associated with dysfunction of everything from bone density to stem cell division. However, H. pylori have also been associated with health benefits like decreased asthma, eczema and other allergic disorders, and protection of the tissue of the esophagus. ...
ABL = abaloparatide; ALN = alendronate; BMD = bone mineral density; Ct.sBMD = cortical surface BMD; Ct.Th = cortical thickness; Ct.vBMD = cortical volumetric BMD; DXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; PBO = placebo. ...
Abstract Objective: Predominance of bone loss in cortical sites with relative preservation of trabecular bone, even in postmenopausal women, has been described in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). ...
A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related complications and verifies that the rods are placed according to the dimensions of the bone structure. This in turn eliminates the need for a rework and enhances the patient outcomes. ...
METHODS AND RATIONALE It is my personal preference to place a wider and longer fixture in the posterior maxilla where bone quality and density is considered less than ideal and where the highest incidences of implant failures occur. While it has been shown that short implants function and have predictable long-term success, this is likely a reflection of shorter ...
Abstract In postmenopausal osteoporotic women in ACTIVE, abaloparatide reduced fracture risk and increased areal bone mineral density (BMD) more than teriparatide at the hip and wrist. ...
Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight bearing from daily use or decrease due to a lack of movement or applied ...
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. ...
Testing included DXA- and pQCT-derived measures of bone mass and indices of bone strength and QUS-derived measures of bone quality of the dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) upper (radius) and lower limbs (femoral neck, tibia, calcaneus). ...
Bone related infectious diseases (including osteomyelitis and prosthesis infection) are of great concern to the medical world. ...
This work is aimed to study the effect of diabetes on bone health and to evaluate the impact of feeding flaxseed oil on delaying osteoporosis. ...
Kremen1 and Kremen2 (Krm1 and Krm2) are transmembrane coreceptors for Dickkopf1 (Dkk1), an antagonist of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The physiological relevance of Kremen proteins in mammals as Wnt modulators is unresolved. We generated and characterized Krm mutant mice and found that double mutants show enhanced Wnt signaling accompanied by ectopic postaxial forelimb digits and expanded apical ...
