Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment
Медицинский совет, 2014 Currently, there are a number of effective drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis that increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fractures. However, till now there is no consensus of scientists on the optimal method of assessing response to ...

Osteoporosis Prescreening using Panoramic Radiographs through a Deep Convolutional Neural Network with Attention Mechanism [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with an attention module can detect osteoporosis on panoramic radiographs. Study Design. A dataset of 70 panoramic radiographs (PRs) from 70 different subjects of age between 49 to 60 was used, including 49 subjects with osteoporosis and 21 normal ...

An atlas of genetic influences on osteoporosis in humans and mice
Nature Genetics, 2018 Osteoporosis is a common aging-related disease diagnosed primarily using bone mineral density (BMD). We assessed genetic determinants of BMD as estimated by heel quantitative ultrasound in 426,824 individuals, identifying 518 genome-wide significant loci

Osteoporosis in Men: A Review of an Underestimated Bone Condition
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Osteoporosis is called the ‘silent disease’ because, although it does not give significant symptoms when it is not complicated, can cause fragility fractures, with serious consequences and death.

Time trends in pediatric hand fracture incidence in Malmö, Sweden, 1950–2016
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021 Background The hand is the second most fractured region in children. It is therefore important to update fracture epidemiology to be able to identify time trends for adequate health care planning. This study reports pediatric hand fracture incidence 2014–

Multiscale modeling of cancellous bone considering full coupling of mechanical, electrical and magnetic effects [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Modeling of cancellous bone has important applications in the detection and treatment of fatigue fractures and diseases like osteoporosis. In this paper, we present a fully coupled multiscale approach considering mechanical, electrical and magnetic effects by using the multiscale finite element method and a two-phase material model on the microscale ...
