Increased cortical porosity and reduced cortical thickness of the proximal femur are associated with nonvertebral fracture independent of Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and Garvan estimates in postmenopausal women. [PDF]
The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and Garvan Calculator have improved the individual prediction of fracture risk. However, additional bone measurements that might enhance the predictive ability of these tools are the subject of research.

Introduction Cortical thinning is a marker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the age‐related trajectory of cortical thickness across the lifespan (9‐59 years) in a Colombian kindred with autosomal dominant AD (ADAD ...

Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents [PDF]
Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown.

Genetic analysis of cortical thickness and fractional anisotropy of water diffusion in the brain [PDF]
Objectives: The thickness of the brain’s cortical gray matter (GM) and the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the cerebral white matter (WM) each follow an inverted U-shape trajectory with age. The two measures are positively correlated and may be modulated

Network-Level Structural Abnormalities of Cerebral Cortex in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) usually begins in childhood and adolescence and causes lifelong damage to several major organs including the brain. Despite increasing evidence of T1DM-induced structural deficits in cortical regions implicated in higher ...

Amyloid β influences the relationship between cortical thickness and vascular load
Introduction Cortical thickness has been proposed as a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD)– related neurodegeneration, but the nature of its relationship with amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition and white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) in cognitively ...

Altered cerebral hemodyamics and cortical thinning in asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. [PDF]
Cortical thinning is a potentially important biomarker, but the pathophysiology in cerebrovascular disease is unknown. We investigated the association between regional cortical blood flow and regional cortical thickness in patients with asymptomatic ...
