Objective To have clinical confidence on treatment and monitor with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA,GE LUNAR PRODIGY)for total body bone mineral density(BMD)and body composition.
The direction and markedness of changes in bone mass—the bone mineral density and the bone mineral content—in different skeletal segments depend on their position relative to the gravity vector.
Successful parathyroid adenoma surgery resulted in progressive increase of bone mineral density and QUS parameters within 6 months, 1 year and 2 years of follow-up.
Serum levels of calcium, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, urinary calcium excretion, blood pressure, and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured.
The aim of the present study was to assess bone volume and bone density in orthodontically untreated adults using a CT analyzing method, with reference data in the clinically essential area of the lower incisors being obtained.
Bone density, which was registered in Hounsfield units at the gingival, middle and apical thirds of the root levels, increased from the gingival to the apical thirds of the roots, generally with lower lingual than labial values.
Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and impaired bone strength, which leads to an increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.
In this experiment we prepared the copolymer of L-lactide (L-LA) and (3s)-[(benzyloxycarbonyl) methyl] morpholine-2,5-dione (BMD) using tin(II)-octanoate initiated ring-opening copolymerization.
Serum levels of calcium, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, urinary calcium excretion, blood pressure, and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured.
In 3 other obligate carriers, aged between 46 and 71 years, only doubtfully abnormal findings could be made; ultrasound images showed no differences in 11 BMD carriers aged between 10 and 47 years.
Serum levels of calcium, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, urinary calcium excretion, blood pressure, and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured.
The total body and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) were measured in order to determine the prevalence and possible risk factors of decreased BMD in anorexia nervosa (AN).
This study was performed to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with low dose prednisolone.
Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) has been found in adults and children receiving both enzyme-inducing AEDs and valproate, which is an enzyme-inhibiting AED.
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is prevalent in patients with early-stage prostate cancer, and androgen-deprivation therapy by either pharmaceutical agent (including hormonal) or surgical castration causes significant decreases in BMD.
