Hyponatremia, bone mineral density and falls in the elderly; Results from AHAP study

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2018
Background. Hyponatremia (HN) can be associated with osteoporosis, falls and bone fractures in the elderly. Recent researches demonstrated different results about the correlation of HN with bone mineral density and bone fractures.

Higher fracture prevalence and smaller bone size in patients with hEDS/HSD-a prospective cohort study

open access: yes, 2020
Increased fracture risk in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes has been reported, but the reasons for it are incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate possible determinants of this increased risk and found that hEDS/HSD patients present with a ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Risk factor identification and prevention of osteoporosis in the primary care setting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
On one of her visits, MB Borg, a 54 year old lady, showed concern about her risk of developing osteoporosis. Lately, she had been listening to a series of radio and TV programmes on this matter where particular emphasis was put on bone density scans. She

Excessive growth hormone expression in male GH transgenic mice adversely alters bone architecture and mechanical strength [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Patients with acromegaly have a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting that GH overexpression has adverse effects on skeletal architecture and strength. We used giant bovine GH (bGH) transgenic mice

Ultrahigh Strength with Suppressed Flow Instability at Liquid Helium Temperature via Coherent Nanoprecipitation in a Medium‐Entropy Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated that severe lattice distortion and coherent nanoprecipitates overcome the strength–ductility dilemma and mitigate discontinuous plastic flow (DPF) at 4.2 K. Such microstructural design enhances both thermal and athermal stress components, leading to exceptional mechanical performance.

Effective Sliding Motions of Vibration‐Induced Emission Stoppers in Mechanically Interlocked Molecules as Artificial Muscle Tougheners and In Situ Molecular Shuttling Sensors for Self‐Healable Mechano‐Fluorescent Polyurethane Organogels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The self‐healable ratiometric mechano‐fluorescent polyurethane (PU) organogel is constructed by incorporating a minor amount (ca. 1.5 wt.%) of the unconventional daisy chain rotaxane (as an artificial molecular muscle toughener) with specific sliding motions and ratiometric emission behaviors into the PU skeleton, which reveals the progressed intrinsic

Biomechanical Computed Tomography analysis (BCT) for clinical assessment of osteoporosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The surgeon general of the USA defines osteoporosis as "a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, predisposing to an increased risk of fracture." Measuring bone strength, Biomechanical Computed Tomography analysis (BCT), namely ...
