Automated 3D trabecular bone structure analysis of the proximal femur—prediction of biomechanical strength by CT and DXA [PDF]

, 2009
SummaryThe standard diagnostic technique for assessing osteoporosis is dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measuring bone mass parameters. In this study, a combination of DXA and trabecular structure parameters (acquired by computed tomography [CT]) most ...

An Analysis of Radiographers' False Preliminary Image Evaluation Comments in One New Zealand District

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Preliminary image evaluation (PIE) comment errors were evaluated for common errors. These include missed avulsion fractures in the finger, hand, and wrist, while accessory bones in the feet and ankle were mistaken for abnormalities. Identifying these errors provides guidance for ongoing, regular, targeted training to help improve PIE accuracy rates ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Long‐Term Outcomes Associated With Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Hip Fracture Surgery: A Retrospective Comparison of Medicare Data

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are increasingly recommended as analgesia for hip fractures. Their association with outcomes beyond the immediate pharmacological effects remains unclear. This study examined the association between the use of PNBs and the number of days alive and at home after hip fracture surgery among Medicare ...
