Bone Mineral Density in Stroke Patients
Objective: Fractures after stroke are usually caused by the development of hemiosteoporosis and the high incidence of falls. The aim of this study was to compare bone mineral densities (BMDs) of paretic and nonparetic limbs in stroke patients and to ...

Predictions for the fracture toughness of cancellous bone of fracture neck of femur patients [PDF]
Current protocol in determining if a patient is osteoporotic and their fracture risk is based on dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA gives an indication of their bone mineral density (BMD) which is the product of both the porosity and density of ...

Does a Novice Technician Produce Results Similar to That of an Experienced DXA Technician When Assessing Body Composition and Bone Mineral Density? [PDF]
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry is a commonly used clinical assessment tool for body composition and bone mineral density, which is gaining popularity in athletic cohorts.

We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Longitudinal Analysis of Calcium Supplementation Preventing Bone Mass Loss in Females [PDF]
Calcium is an important nutrient for metabolism of bones (Greer & Krebs, 2006). This study hypothesizes that consuming calcium supplements for twenty years decreases women’s risk of developing osteoporosis.

We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Computed tomography-osteoabsorptiometry for assessing the density distribution of subchondral bone as a measure of long-term mechanical adaptation in individual joints [PDF]
To estimate subchondral mineralisation patterns which represent the long-term loading history of individual joints, a method has been developed employing computed tomography (CT) which permits repeated examination of living joints.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Relation Between Smoking and Bone Mineral Density
Studies examining the relation between the nicotine intake through cigarette smoking and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) are limited and contradictory. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between nicotine intake through smoking and BMD ...
