Introducing Anisotropic Minkowski Functionals for Local Structure Analysis and Prediction of Biomechanical Strength of Proximal Femur Specimens [PDF]
Master's Thesis - 2013, 2020 Bone fragility and fracture caused by osteoporosis or injury are prevalent in adults over the age of 50 and can reduce their quality of life. Hence, predicting the biomechanical bone strength, specifically of the proximal femur, through non-invasive imaging-based methods is an important goal for the diagnosis of Osteoporosis as well as estimating ...

Osteoporosis Prediction from Hand and Wrist X-rays using Image Segmentation and Self-Supervised Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Osteoporosis is a widespread and chronic metabolic bone disease that often remains undiagnosed and untreated due to limited access to bone mineral density (BMD) tests like Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In response to this challenge, current advancements are pivoting towards detecting osteoporosis by examining alternative indicators from ...

SIRT6 Ameliorates Cancer Cachexia–Associated Adipose Wasting by Suppressing TNFR2 Signalling in Mice
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2025.ABSTRACT Background Cachexia is a wasting syndrome associated with imbalanced energy metabolism and loss of adipose and muscle tissues and contributes to morbidity and mortality in ageing as well as in patients with severe chronic diseases, including cancer. At present, there are no treatments addressing cachexia that have reached validation to be used

Downturn in Childhood Bone Mass: A Cross‐Sectional Study Over Four Decades
JBMR Plus, 2022 Screen time and physical inactivity have increased among children. As physical activity is a determinant of bone mass, there is a concern that children today have lower bone mass than earlier.
