Childhood and adolescence are critical periods of bone mineral acquisition. Children on anticoagulation (AC) might have an increased risk for reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Risk factors for impai...
To evaluate BMD in children on AC and characterize the risk factors of low BMD, including VK and Vitamin D (VD) status....
Single-center cross-sectional study of clinical, biochemical, and densitometric parameters. Assessment of VK surrogate parameters included ucOC and matrix gla protein (MGP)....
A total of 39 children (4-18 years; 12 females) receiving AC were included, 31 (79%) on VK antagonists and 8 (21%) on direct oral anticoagulants. Overall, BMD was decreased for both the lumbar spine (...
Our data indicate BMD reduction in pediatric patients on AC. Although AC-related factors did not predict reduced BMD, low BMI and pubertal stages represented important risk factors. Awareness of risk ...
This study evaluated the intraoperative physician assessment (IPA) of bone status at time of total knee arthroplasty. IPA was highly correlated with distal femur and overall bone mineral density. When...
Intuitively, intraoperative physician assessment (IPA) would be an excellent measure of bone status gained through haptic feedback during bone preparation. However, no studies have evaluated the ortho...
Seventy patients undergoing TKA by 3 surgeons received pre-operative DXA. Intraoperatively, bone quality was assessed on a 5-point scale (1 excellent to 5 poor) based on tactile feedback to preparatio...
The mean (SD) age and BMI were 65.8 (7.6) years and 31.4 (5.1) kg/m...
IPA is highly correlated with local (distal femur) and overall BMD. This study supports the International Society for Clinical Densitometry position that surgeon concern regarding bone quality should ...
Osteoporosis is a common disease that leads to a reduction in bone density and increases the risk of fractures. Stable surgical treatment is particularly important for these fractures. The aim of this...
The number of vegetarians and vegans is increasing each year. In this regard, studies of the quality of diets that exclude slaughter foods, as well as their impact on human health, are becoming more a...
Exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as phthalates, may impact bone mineral density (BMD) through a variety of mechanisms. Studies of phthalate exposure and BMD in humans are scarce....
To synthesize published data on the association between phthalate metabolites and BMD in humans and to provide methodological suggestions for future research....
A single investigator searched PubMed for relevant studies, including observational studies of phthalate exposure and BMD in children and postmenopausal women. Twelve studies were screened with 5 meet...
In one prospective study among postmenopausal women, higher levels of monocarboxyoctyl phthalate (MCOP) and monocarboxynonyl phthalate (MCNP) were significantly associated with lower BMD among nonuser...
Studies among postmenopausal women provide suggestive evidence of an association between urinary phthalate metabolite concentration and decreased BMD. Results from studies of childhood BMD are inconcl...
Sagittal spinal malalignment often leads to surgical realignment, which is associated with major complications. Low bone mineral density (BMD) and impaired bone microstructure are risk factors for ins...
A retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients who underwent lumbar fusion for degeneration was conducted. The vBMD of the lumbar spine was assessed by quantitative computed tomography. Bone biops...
A total of 172 patients (55.8% female, 63.3 years, BMI 29.7 kg/m...
Sagittal malalignment is associated with lower lumbar vBMD and trabecular microstructure. Lumbar vBMD was significantly lower in patients with malalignment. These findings warrant attention, as malali...
The aims of the study were to determine the mean trabecular bone score (TBS) of postmenopausal Taiwanese women and to analyze the value of TBS in predicting osteoporosis....
A total of 1,915 postmenopausal women with lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) and spine TBS were enrolled from a single medical center into this study. The women's BMD and TBS were measur...
The average age of the women was 62.5 ± 9.1 years (range, 25.7-93.7 years). The mean TBS was 1.300 ± 0.086 (range, 1.015-1.596). The TBS was weakly and negatively correlated with body mass index ( r =...
Bone mineral density and TBS can be used in combination to predict osteoporosis in a greater number of postmenopausal Taiwanese women. Because the incidence of osteoporosis is the highest among older ...
Children with haemophilia (CwH) have lower bone mineral density in the spine (trabecular bone) than healthy children. There are few studies focusing on bone mineral density in long bones (cortical bon...
To evaluate bi-laterally the distal third of radius and midshaft tibias using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and assess the speed of sound (SoS)....
A cross-sectional study where 91 CwH and 91 age-matched healthy boys were included. Joint evaluation was determined with the Haemophilia Joint Health Score 2.1 and SoS values. The Z scores were measur...
Ninety-one CwH (haemophilia A) were evaluated (26 mild form, 26 moderate, and 39 severe). Most patients were treated with on-demand factor replacement and had higher total HJHS scores according to sev...
There was diminished cortical bone density in radius and tibias of CwH compared to healthy controls. Changes predominated in tibias, more frequently affected according to the severity of haemophilia. ...
Low bone mineral density (BMD) and dementia commonly co-occur in older individuals, with bone loss accelerating in patients with dementia due to physical inactivity and poor nutrition. However, uncert...
In a prospective population-based cohort study, BMD at the femoral neck, lumbar spine, and total body and the trabecular bone score (TBS) were obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 3,651 ...
Among the 3,651 participants (median age 72.3 ± 10.0 years, 57.9% women), 688 (18.8%) developed incident dementia during a median of 11.1 years, of whom 528 (76.7%) developed Alzheimer disease (AD). D...
In conclusion, participants with low femoral neck and total body BMD and low TBS were more likely to develop dementia. Further studies should focus on the predictive ability of BMD for dementia....
Bone health in primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is under-investigated. We assessed patients with spontaneous POI for vertebral fractures (VFs) and related parameters of bone health....
70 cases with spontaneous POI (age 32.5 ± 7.0 years) and an equal number of controls were assessed for BMD, TBS, and VFs. BMD at the lumbar-spine (L1-L4), left hip, non-dominant forearm, and TBS (iNsi...
BMD at the lumbar-spine, hip and forearm was reduced by 11.5%, 11.4% and 9.1% in POI as compared to controls (P < 0.001). Degraded or partially degraded microarchitecture on TBS was observed in 66.7% ...
Thus, lumbar-spine osteoporosis, impaired TBS and VFs were present in 35.7%, 66.7% and 15.7% of patients with spontaneous POI in their early third decade. This indicates need for rigorous investigatio...
