As HIV-infected patients live longer they are experiencing diseases normally associated with ageing, sometimes at higher frequency and at younger ages than expected. Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis is one example. Rates of low BMD are high in HIV-infected patients and fracture rates occur more commonly and at a younger age than the ...

Molecular Basis of Bone Aging [PDF]
A decline in bone mass leading to an increased fracture risk is a common feature of age-related bone changes. The mechanisms underlying bone senescence are very complex and implicate systemic and local factors and are the result of the combination of several changes occurring at the cellular, tissue and structural levels; they include alterations of ...

Clinical data and basal gonadotropins in the diagnosis of central precocious puberty in girls
Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze whether some auxological characteristics or a single basal gonadotropin measurement will be sufficient to distinguish the prepubertal from pubertal status.

Bone age assessment (BAA) is clinically important as it can be used to diagnose endocrine and metabolic disorders during child development. Existing deep learning based methods for classifying bone age use the global image as input, or exploit local ...

Bone and Muscle Crosstalk in Aging [PDF]
Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are two age-related diseases that affect the quality of life in the elderly. Initially, they were thought to be two independent diseases; however, recently, increasing basic and clinical data suggest that skeletal muscle and bone are both spatially and metabolically connected.

Factors associated with Advanced Bone Age in Overweight and Obese Children
Purpose Obese children may often present with advanced bone age. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between factors associated with childhood obesity and advanced bone age. Methods We enrolled 232 overweight or obese children.

The Mechanism of Bone Remodeling After Bone Aging
Senescence mainly manifests as a series of degenerative changes in the morphological structure and function of the body. Osteoporosis is a systemic bone metabolic disease characterized by destruction of bone microstructure, low bone mineral content, decreased bone strength, and increased brittleness and fracture susceptibility. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts

Determinants of Muscle and Bone Aging [PDF]
Loss of bone and muscle with advancing age represent a huge threat to loss of independence in later life. Osteoporosis represents a major public health problem through its association with fragility fractures, primarily of the hip, spine and distal forearm.
