Bone Quality in CKD Patients: Current Concepts and Future Directions – Part I

Kidney Diseases, 2021
Background: There is ample evidence that patients with CKD have an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. Bone fragility is not only influenced by low bone volume and mass but also by poor microarchitecture and tissue quality.

Diagnosis of sarcopenia by evaluating skeletal muscle mass by adjusted bioimpedance analysis validated with dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021
Background This study aimed to adjust and cross‐validate skeletal muscle mass measurements between bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the screening of sarcopenia in the community and to estimate the prevalence of ...

Regression of fibrous dysplasia in response to denosumab therapy: A report of two cases

Bone Reports, 2021
We present two patients with fibrous dysplasia who showed a decrease in lesional size and activity after denosumab therapy. Both patients also experienced a reduction in pain and bone turnover markers, which had not been accomplished during previous ...

Whole Bone Mechanics and Bone Quality [PDF]

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2011
The skeleton plays a critical structural role in bearing functional loads, and failure to do so results in fracture. As we evaluate new therapeutics and consider treatments to prevent skeletal fractures, understanding the basic mechanics underlying whole bone testing and the key principles and characteristics contributing to the structural strength of ...

A multidisciplinary care pathway improves quality of life and reduces pain in patients with fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome: a multicenter prospective observational study

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) may cause pain, impaired ambulation and decreased quality of life (QoL). International guidelines advocate management of FD/MAS in a tertiary multidisciplinary care pathway, but no ...

Ultra-processed food targets bone quality via endochondral ossification

Bone Research, 2021
Ultra-processed foods have known negative implications for health; however, their effect on skeletal development has never been explored. Here, we show that young rats fed ultra-processed food rich in fat and sugar suffer from growth retardation due to ...

Bone fragility in patients affected by congenital diseases non skeletal in origin

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Bone tissue represents a large systemic compartment of the human body, with an active metabolism, that controls mineral deposition and removal, and where several factors may play a role.

The Effect of Housing System and Gender on Relative Brain Weight, Body Temperature, Hematological Traits, and Bone Quality in Muscovy Ducks

Animals, 2022
The study was conducted during the summer season (June–August 2020). Two hundred sixty-four 5-week-old sexed Muscovy ducklings were randomly divided into four equal experimental groups by housing system and by gender.
