Scuba diving does not affect bone mineral density or bone mineral content

Joint Bone Spine, 2011
Scuba diving is a very specialized, physically demanding activity. The bones of divers are subjected to stress from water pressure, from the forces generated when their muscles resist water pressure, and from weightlessness. Notably, few studies have addressed the effects of diving on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC), and the ...

Bone mineral density and bone mineral content among female elite athletes

Bone, 2019
Exercise is a protective factor for the appearance of osteoporosis, but not all physical activities have the same effect on bones. Low-impact sports, like swimming, may a have a negative or no effect. The aim of the present study is to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) and bone mineral content (BMC, kg) among female high performance athletes ...

Signalment differences in bone mineral content and bone mineral density in canine appendicular bones

Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2008
SummaryThe objective was to determine signalment-related differences in bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in dogs. Unilateral appendicular bones were harvested from 62 canine cadavers. Middiaphyseal regions of interest (ROIs) were scanned using a Hologic® DXA device Braincon, Vienna, Austria).

Roentgenographic Estimation of the Mineral Content of Bone

Radiology, 1950
It is well known that adult bone is not merely an inert structural material but is a living tissue with a mineral content which fluctuates under the influence of endocrine and enzyme activity. Hevesy (1) showed, by the use of radiophosphorus, that there is active metabolism in bone.

Bone Mineral Content in Women with Vertebral Fractures

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1980
ABSTRACT. Postmenopausal women, classified as osteoporotics on the basis of clinical and microradiographic findings, were found to have a low bone mineral content as compared with age‐matched controls. The bone mineral content in 12 patients on a dietary supplement of calcium and vitamin D did not decrease during a two‐year follow‐up period.

Dichromatic Absorptiometry of Vertebral Bone Mineral Content

Investigative Radiology, 1977
A dichromatic photon absorptiometric technique for the in vivo measurement of the bone mineral of the spine is discussed. A high purity, high activity 153Gd source which has photons of predominantly 44 and 100 keV was used as the transmission source. The transmission scans were performed on a modified Ohio Nuclear whole body rectillinear scanner.

A densitometric method of determining the mineral content of bone

The British Journal of Radiology, 1972
Abstract A new reference system for the densitometric measurement of bone mineral in vivo is proposed. A solution of ZnCl2 in water with the same effective atomic number as hydroxyapatite is described. The concentration is calculated from a modification of the equation of Spiers (1946) for determining Zeff of a chemical compound.

Anales espanoles de pediatria, 2000
To study the bone mineral density (DMO) and the bone mineral concentration (CMO) in lumbar spine (L2 and L4) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry with a lunar DPX (DEXA) in a children sample of the community of Madrid; to relate the values obtained with the age, sex and pubertal development; and to compare the values of DMO found with the publications ...
