Bone age assessment by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in children: An alternative for X-ray?

, 2012
Objective: The aim of the study was to validate dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a method to assess bone age in children. Methods: Paired dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans and X-rays of the left hand were performed in 95 children who ...

Ganoderic Acids Alleviate Dexamethasone‐Induced Muscle Atrophy Potentially via Regulating Protein Synthesis/Degradation, Attenuating Oxidative Stress, and Antagonizing Glucocorticoid Receptor

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
This work proposes a mechanism in which ganoderic acid A (GAA), the active monomer of ganoderic acids (GA) from Ganoderma lucidum, binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to form a GR‐GAA complex, thereby inhibiting DEX‐induced GR activation. This inhibition suppresses oxidative stress (ROS, MDA and 4‐HNE) by upregulating antioxidant proteins (Nrf2 ...

Reducing unnecessary osteoporosis treatment in prostate cancer with FRAX‐BMD integration

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Men on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer frequently develop osteoporosis, and up to 20% fracture within five years. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) estimates 10‐year fracture probability with or without bone mineral density (BMD), but data in this population are scarce.

What Happens After Menopause (WHAM)? A Progress Report of a Prospective Controlled Study of Women After Pre‐Menopausal Risk‐Reducing Bilateral Salpingo‐Oophorectomy

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical menopause, the removal of both ovaries prior to natural menopause, may impact short‐and long‐term physical and emotional health. An increasingly common cause of surgical menopause is risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) in those at high inherited risk of ovarian cancer.

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry reference standards for percent body fat and lean body mass in adults

, 2013
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides accurate measurements of percent body fat (%BF) and lean body mass (LBM), however no reference standards currently exist using DXA-derived data.
