Physiotherapy rehabilitation for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (PROVE) : study protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Osteoporosis and vertebral fracture can have a considerable impact on an individual’s quality of life. There is increasing evidence that physiotherapy including manual techniques and exercise interventions may have an important treatment ...

Evaluation of fracture risk in osteoporosis [PDF]

open access: yesOrvosi Hetilap, 2011
Osteoporotic fractures are associated with excess mortality. Effective treatment options are available, which reduce the risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures, but the identification of patients with high fracture risk is problematic. Low bone mineral density (BMD) – the basis for the diagnosis of osteoporosis – is an important, but not the ...

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Variations in initial acceptance and continued adherence to wearing hip protectors: Are they explained by factors other than staff attitude? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Hip fractures are an important consequence of falling. Methods of preventing hip fractures include: 1. reducing the risk of falling , 2. strengthen ing (or maintaining the strength of bones) through osteoporosis treatment and prevention , and 3 ...

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 1: the influence of the prosthesis size and positioning on the remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Hip resurfacing is an established treatment for osteoarthritis in young active patients. Failure modes include femoral neck fracture and prosthesis loosening, which may be associated with medium-term bone adaptation, including femoral neck narrowing and ...

Evaluation of Bone Mineral Density in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Pediatric Academy
Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is a frequent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal replacement therapy has been shown to extend the life expectancy of patients with CKD, resulting in MBD becoming a major cause of morbidity ...

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

Does Osteoporosis with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetoporosis) increase the risk of fracture?

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2018
Our aim was to investigate whether the association of diabetes and osteoporosis caused an increased risk of fracture or not. The study included 120 patients with osteoporosis aged between 40-90 years.
