Quality Control of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

International Journal of Medical Physics, Clinical Engineering and Radiation Oncology, 2018
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a dominant technique for the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD). Quality control (QC) of DXA is very important for the accuracy of results and correct interpretation made by the physician. We have performed the quality control procedures of Lunar DPX Pro bone densitometer according to the manufacturer’s ...

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry diagnostic discordance between Z scores and T scores in a young Iranian population [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is considered the gold standard for non-invasive measurement of bone mass. T-scores and Z-scores are used to present the results of bone mass. The present study was designed to evaluate the discordance

The influence of dairy consumption, sedentary behaviour and physical activity on bone mass in Flemish children : a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2015
Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to look for an association in young children between whole body bone mineral content (BMC) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and dairy consumption as well as sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (

Impact of age at first visit on glycolipid metabolism, bone metabolism, and fertility potential in patients with Klinefelter syndrome

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Classic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by one extra X chromosome (47, XXY), leading to hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and higher risk of alterations in glycolipid homeostasis, cardiovascular diseases, and low bone mineral density. Most frequently, KS is diagnosed in adulthood because of infertility.

Muscle Strength and Power Changes With Gender‐Affirming Hormone Therapy

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Androgen receptors are highly expressed in upper body muscles, but changes in maximal muscle strength and power in major upper body muscles have not been investigated during gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Objective To assess prospective changes in maximal muscle strength and muscle power from before and after 1 year of ...

Urinary Calcium and Phosphorus Excretion in Vitamin D‐Sufficient Preterm Infants: Establishing Age‐Specific Normative Data

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated urinary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) excretion in very low birth weight infants ( < 1500 g, VLBW) without severe morbidity, treated with methylxanthines. Methods Eighty‐one VLBW infants were analysed. Urinary Ca and P and their creatinine ratios were measured biweekly until day 56.

Efficacy and Safety of Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) Followed by TAF in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients of East Asian Ethnicity Following 5 Years of Treatment

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In East Asian patients with chronic hepatitis B, rates of virologic suppression through 5 years were high in those treated continuously with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and in those switched from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to TAF. Improved renal and bone safety was observed in patients switching from TDF to TAF.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

, 2017
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), was first developed to assess bone mass, however it also provides information on fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) (Mazess et al., 1990) As such, the DXA is commonly used to assess body composition in both research and clinical practice Participants of this study will be scanned using the Lunar Prodigy (GE ...
