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. ...
No parent wants to hear their child has a condition that might affect their education, family life, and overall well-being. Unfortunately, there’s currently no restorative treatment for short bowel syndrome (SBS). Monitoring nutrition is a lifelong necessity for anyone with this disorder. This means that no matter the cause of SBS, there are certain things you should know about nutrition ...
ABSTRACT Previous subgroup analyses from the ACTIVE trial in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (NCT01343004) using three-dimensional (3D)-processing of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans indicated greater increases in total hip cortical volumetric bone mineral density (Ct.vBMD) and estimated indices of hip strength following 18 months of ...
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. ...
Despite this, few direct comparisons of the effect of impact-style loading and resistance training on bone have been made. We therefore aimed to compare the effects of 10-month, twice-weekly, high-impact loading and 10-month, twice-weekly, high-intensity resistance training on indices of bone strength of both the upper and lower limbs of young ...
Mixing techniques used to reduce porosity in bone cement demonstrate large improvements in fatigue behaviour in test specimens, but do not appear to reduce the rate of loosening of implants in vivo. We examined data showing the effect of notches on fatigue strength and found, surprisingly, that notches with low stress-concentration factors (Kt Keywords: mixing ...
