Bone Density Measurement via Radiographic Calibration
… for the development of a large animal model of bone injury (USDA 2001). In human and veterinary medicine, digital radiography represents the primary diagnostic tool the physician uses to diagnose skeletal injury. Advances in digital radiography have provided the veterinarian with opportunities …

Identification, Prevention and Treatment of Children with Decreased Bone Density
… in children is the presence of low bone mineral content or decreased bone mineral density with a significant fracture history. The future economic consequences and quality of life issues associated with osteoporosis are considerable, justifying this skeletal disorder as a public …

Assessment of Human Alveolar Bone Density by Using Volumetric CT Machine
<p>This study evaluated bone density in designated implants sites using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and compared the measurements to those of quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and subjective bone density evaluation. Sixty-two designated implant sites in 9 human cadavers jaws were …

Significancer of Osteoporosis in Facial Bone Density using the Computed Tomography Scan
The study was to compare the variations of bone density in the mid-facial bones as measured by quantitative CT scans between the osteoporosis and control groups, and to evaluate the regions that facial trauma and iatrogenic problem often occurs in the mid face. The 96 patients who underwent both …

The effect of whole red raspberry juice on bone density and biomarkers of bone in postmenopausal osteopenic women
… to examine the effect of red raspberry juice on bone mineral density and bone biomarkers in postmenopausal women with mild-to-moderate bone loss. A total of 57 women were recruited and randomized into two groups for a period of 6 months (180 days). The treatment group (n= 30) consumed 2 oz of red …

The Effects of a Uniformly Weighted Exercise Suit on Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Response to Aerobic Exercise in Postmenopausal Women with Low Bone Density
… options for maintaining or slowing aging-related bone mineral density (BMD) loss in postmenopausal women primarily include pharmaceutical agents. More recently, physical activity and exercise have been suggested as highly effective, low cost alternatives. Weighted aerobic exercise, utilizing load …

The Relationship of Dietary and Lifestyle Factors to Bone Mineral Density of Healthy Singaporean Chinese Women
… the risk factors associated with reduced bone mass in Asians, but none specifically investigated Singaporean Chinese women. The subjects in this study were 16 premenopausal, 8 perimenopausal and 13 postmenopausal women who participated in a larger study which began in 1986. Bone density …

Longitudinal study to assess the prevalence of hypogonadism in HIV-infected South African men and its association with bone density, body composition, metabolic abnormalities (dysglycaemia, dyslipidaemia) and quality of life.
… levels were not associated with alcohol intake, bone miner density, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting glucose, HOMA IR, HOMA β, fasting cholesterol or blood pressure at baseline or 12 months. Conclusions: There were no cases of hypogonadism in HIV-infected ART-naïve men and there were …

Funktionell-anatomische Untersuchungen an den Zehengelenken (Articulationes interphalangeae) der Schultergliedmaße des Pferdes
… (CT-OAM), the distribution of the subchondral bone density was determined topographically in three-dimensional reconstructions of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints. The specimens were divided into 6 age groups. Following exarticulation the joints were evaluated for chondral …

In Vitro and In Vivo Studies on Bone Formation
… to osteoporosis, the most common metabolic bone disease. These two aspects are: 1) mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of peak bone density, and 2) evaluation of the in vivo effects of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-5 (IGFBP-5) as a potential means to treat …

Biomechanische Untersuchungen am Fesselgelenk (Articulatio metacarpophalangea) des Pferdes
… (CT-CCM) the distribution of the subchondral bone density and the cartilage thickness were determined topographically in the 3D reconstruction of the joint. Generally the subchondral bone density increases in all bones forming the fetlock joint with increasing age of the horses. Up to the age …

Numerical Study of Nutrient Mixing in Trabecular Bone in Microgravity, Disuse and Normogravity
<p>Mechanical loading is known to regulate bone remodeling by driving interstitial fluid flow which stimulates cells and drives nutrient transport within the trabecular network. In microgravity, the absence of mechanical stimulation or loading suppresses convective flow processes, causing …

Osteoarthritis Induced Glenoid Morphology and Bone Quality: An Evaluation of Augmented Glenoid Components
Osteoarthritis of the glenoid results in regional bone density variations and bone loss that may compromise early component fixation and support. The two common morphologies, symmetric and asymmetric erosion, were characterized by bone density and morphology, and assessed on the basis of bone …

Comparison of Pharmacologic Treatment on Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Osteopenia
… and calcium and vitamin D supplements on bone mineral density in patients with osteopenia. METHOD: We evaluated the data of 94 patients who were diagnosed as having osteopenia with bone mineral densitometry in the health promotion center of a hospital from January, 2002 to October, 2006. …

Estrogen, energy, and bone: a life history approach to understanding skeletal phenotypes
Bone is affected by estrogen throughout the lifespan. Changing concentrations of estrogen shape the structure of bone and influence bone maintenance processes over time. Understanding bone health in women as both a function of earlier life experiences, as well as a reflection of current …
