Romosozumab Improves Bone Mass and Strength While Maintaining Bone Quality in Ovariectomized Cynomolgus Monkeys

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2017
Romosozumab (Romo), a humanized sclerostin antibody, is a bone‐forming agent under development for treatment of osteoporosis. To examine the effects of Romo on bone quality, mature cynomolgus monkeys (cynos) were treated 4 months post‐ ovariectomy (OVX ...

Bone Segmentation in Contrast Enhanced Whole-Body Computed Tomography [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Segmentation of bone regions allows for enhanced diagnostics, disease characterisation and treatment monitoring in CT imaging. In contrast enhanced whole-body scans accurate automatic segmentation is particularly difficult as low dose whole body protocols reduce image quality and make contrast enhanced regions more difficult to separate when relying on

Genetic architecture of bone quality variation in layer chickens revealed by a genome-wide association study

Scientific Reports, 2017
Skeletal problems in layer chickens are gaining attention due to animal welfare and economic losses in the egg industry. The genetic improvement of bone traits has been proposed as a potential solution to these issues; however, genetic architecture is ...

Untargeted metabolomics study on the effects of rearing ducks in cages on bone quality

Poultry Science, 2022
: The cage rearing model of the modern poultry industry makes the bones of birds more vulnerable to deterioration. In this study, at 8 wk of age, a total of 60 birds were randomly allocated to 2 groups, including the floor rearing group (FRD) and cage ...

Association of Condylar Bone Quality with TMJ Osteoarthritis

Journal of dentistry research, 2017
The etiology and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (TMJOA) remain complex and unclear. Based on clinical observations, we hypothesized that low condylar bone quality is significantly correlated with TMJOA and explored this ...

Hand bone age estimation using divide and conquer strategy and lightweight convolutional neural networks [PDF]

Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Volume 120, 2023, 105935, ISSN 0952-1976
Estimating the Bone Age of children is very important for diagnosing growth defects, and related diseases, and estimating the final height that children reach after maturity. For this reason, it is widely used in different countries. Traditional methods for estimating bone age are performed by comparing atlas images and radiographic images of the left ...

BS-Diff: Effective Bone Suppression Using Conditional Diffusion Models from Chest X-Ray Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Chest X-rays (CXRs) are commonly utilized as a low-dose modality for lung screening. Nonetheless, the efficacy of CXRs is somewhat impeded, given that approximately 75% of the lung area overlaps with bone, which in turn hampers the detection and diagnosis of diseases. As a remedial measure, bone suppression techniques have been introduced.

Effects of mechanical repetitive load on bone quality around implants in rat maxillae

PLoS ONE, 2017
Greater understanding and acceptance of the new concept “bone quality”, which was proposed by the National Institutes of Health and is based on bone cells and collagen fibers, are required.
