Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool Performance in a Large Sample of Postmenopausal Women of Mendoza, Argentina

open access: yesJournal of Osteoporosis, 2013
The Osteoporosis Self-assessment Tool (OST) is a clinical instrument designed to select patients at risk of osteoporosis, who would benefit from a bone mineral density measurement. The OST only takes into account the age and weight of the subject. It was

Predictors of Bone Mineral Density Reduction in Patients with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Associated with Pathogenetic Therapy

open access: yesАрхивъ внутренней медицины, 2023
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is more common in the younger patient population. An increase in overall and recurrence-free survival increases the likelihood of developing post-cytostatic complications in the form of a decrease in bone mineral density and associated

Quantitative evaluation of corneal epithelial edema after cataract surgery using corneal densitometry: a prospective study

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2018
Purpose The optical density of the cornea can be evaluated quantitatively by “densitometry” using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Densitometry allows evaluation of corneal opacity in the anterior segment of the eye by quantitative measurement of ...
