Investigation of spine loading to understand vertebral fractures
Vertebral fractures are the most common complication of osteoporosis and are associated with significant pain, height loss, disfigurement, respiratory impairment, depression, and decreased life span. Despite the high personal and societal costs of vertebral fractures, little is known regarding …

COMPLICANZE DELL'IPERCORTISOLISMO SUBCLINICO: RISCHIO DI INSORGENZA DI FRATTURE VERTEBRALI E POSSIBILE RUOLO DELL'ORMONE DELLA CRESCITA.
… Subclinical hypercortisolism’ s complications: vertebral fracture’s risk and possible role of GH deficiency. In patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AI), subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) has been associated with vertebral fractures and reduction of bone mass and quality. Spinal deformity index …

Il trattamento delle fratture e lussazioni vertebrali nei piccoli animali
… column: close to the skull, thorax and pelvis. Fractures may occur alone or in combination with luxation as fracture/luxation. When the fractures are not stable the best solution is the surgical fixation. Internal and external fixation are the surgical methods for the treatment of vertebral …

Analysis of the forces on the spine during a fall with applications towards predicting vertebral fracture risk
Age-related vertebral fractures are a common public health problem for the elderly with an estimated 27 percent of U.S. women aged 65 years and over thought to have at least one vertebral fracture. It is important, therefore, to characterize the "at risk" patient and to find methods of reducing …

A Comparative Study of Vertebral Pathologies and Anomalies in Two Medieval British Populations
… frequencies of degenerative conditions and vertebral fractures, whereas Poulton displays higher frequencies of congenital conditions such as lumbosacral anomalies and cervical vertebral synostosis (possible Klippel-Feil Syndrome). Age of onset of degenerative conditions is markedly earlier …

Widened mediastinum on chest radiography as a prompt for further imaging in suspected blunt traumatic aortic injury: 3-year experience at a major trauma centre
… (2%). Other serious injuries included thoracic vertebral fractures of at least one vertebral body which was present in 19 patients (8.5%), and 1 patient (0.45%) had a diaphragmatic rupture. None of the patients had a cardiac injury. 200 out of 223 patients (89.7%) had neither an aortic injury …

Knowledge, Causes, and Risk Factors Associated with Fractures in the Elderly Population at Hospital Zacamil in El Salvador
… population's life expectancy increases, fractures among the elderly are also increasing. There is a dearth of data available on the incidence and cause of fractures in the elderly within developing countries including El Salvador. Inadequate knowledge about bone health and osteoporosis …

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CONCOMITANT USE OF BISPHOSPHONATES AND SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS AND INCREASED RISK OF OSTEOPOROTIC-RELATED FRACTURES: AMONG COMMUNITY-DWELLING POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
… the increased risk of osteoporotic-related fractures among propensity score matched (1:1 ratio) cohorts of concomitant users of BPs and SSRIs and BP alone users. Concomitant use of BPs and SSRIs was prevalent and increased with age for each timeframe examined. Findings showed that …

Risk factors for fractures - a link between metabolic bone disease and cardiovascular disease
Introduction: Fractures and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a burden to society, as they result in high morbidity and mortality in both men and women. Aim: The aim was to study prospectively modifiable risk factors for fractures in the general population and to possibly identify a link between …

Biomechanical and Finite Element Analyses of Alternative Cements for use in Vertebral Kyphoplasty
A vertebral compression fracture occurs when the vertebral body of the spine collapses due to osteoporosis or trauma. Depending on the degree of osteoporosis, the forces required to induce vertebral compression fracture can vary while the forces required to induce fractures via trauma are large. …
