Body composition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a narrative literature review
Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease, 2021 There is growing interest in the alterations in body composition (BC) that accompany rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this review is to (i) investigate how BC is currently measured in RA patients, (ii) describe alterations in body composition in

Effects of simple hysterectomy on bone loss
São Paulo Medical JournalLumbar spine and proximal femoral bone densities of Caucasian women, aged 35-45, were measured by dual photon densitometry model DPX. The measurement sites were assessed at the lumbar spine (vertebrae L2 to L4) and at the proximal femur (trochanter ...
