Bone Mineral Density Screening System Using CMOS-Sensor X-ray Detector

Sensors, 2021
This research concerns a design and construction of a bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) measurement system based on dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

Effect of 2–6 weeks of systemic steroids on bone mineral density in children [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, 2022
Background The use of systemic steroids for 6+ weeks in children is associated with decreased bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD). However, the effects of a shorter duration of use on BMD are unknown.

Bone Mineral Is More Heterogeneously Distributed in the Femoral Heads of Osteoporotic and Diabetic Patients: A Pilot Study

JBMR Plus, 2020
Osteoporosis is associated with systemic bone loss, leading to a significant deterioration of bone microarchitecture and an increased fracture risk.

Greater lean tissue and skeletal muscle mass are associated with higher bone mineral content in children

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2010
Background To compare the relationship of skeletal muscle mass with bone mineral content in an ethnically diverse group of 6 to 18 year old boys and girls. Methods 175 healthy children (103 boys; 72 girls) had assessments of body mass, height, and Tanner

Bone Autofluorescence and Mineral Content [PDF]

Nature, 1965
WHEN ground bone sections are examined microscopically using an ultra-violet light source, some of the osteons autofluoresce with less intensity than others. By reference to tetracycline-marked osteons, it can be shown that the less-fluorescent osteons are those most recently formed.

Effect of Gradual Demineralization on the Mineral Fraction and Mechanical Properties of Cortical Bone

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009
Bone is often regarded as a composite material consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAp-like) mineral particles, organic matrix (mostly Type I collagen) and water phases in microscopic scale.

Bone mineral content in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1987
Fourteen preterm infants who developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia diagnosed radiologically were compared with a group of similar infants who did not. The two groups were of comparable maturity and birth weight. The clinical histories indicated that those infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia had had longer periods of supplemental oxygen, more ...
