Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the axial skeleton and is often associated with secondary osteoporosis. Currently, there are no established international consensus or guidelines for managing AS‐related osteoporosis (AS‐OP). This guideline was jointly developed by several Chinese academic institutions,

Concordance between muscle mass assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry: a cross-sectional study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2015
BackgroundBesides magnetic resonance imaging, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) seems the most reliable tool to evaluate body composition and is often considered as the gold standard in clinical practice. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) could

Waist-to-Hip Ratio is Related to Body Fat Content and Distribution Regardless of the Waist Circumference Measurement Protocol, in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients [PDF]

, 2016
Central accumulation and distribution of body fat (BF) is an important cardiometabolic risk factor. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), commonly elevated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, has been endorsed as a risk related marker of central ...

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.
