Low Bone Mass in Prepubertal Children with Thalassemia Major: Insights into the Pathogenesis of Low Bone Mass in Thalassemia

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2004
Low bone mass occurs frequently in the aging thalassemic population. However, limited information exists on bone mass in children with thalassemia major (TM) during their first decade of life.Spinal bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 18 children (age 5.8 +/- 1.5 yr; M:F 8:10) with TM on ...

The Association Between Cysteine, Bone Turnover, and Low Bone Mass

Calcified Tissue International, 2007
With the identification of hyperhomocysteinemia as a risk factor for developing osteoporosis, the contribution of thiols metabolically linked with homocysteine (tHcy) may be of importance. Cysteine (Cys) is formed from tHcy and is involved in bone metabolism via incorporation into collagen and cysteine protease enzymes.We investigated the association ...

Bone Mass Is Low in Relatives of Osteoporotic Patients

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
To determine whether the failure to attain normal bone mass in young adulthood contributes to the later development of osteoporotic fractures.Case-control study.Referral-based bone clinic at a large teaching hospital.Sequential sample of 35 asymptomatic relatives, aged 19 to 59 years, of patients with osteoporotic fractures, and 24 patients with ...

Detecting patients with low skeletal bone mass

Journal of Dentistry, 2002
The object of this study was to determine the relative usefulness of clinical and radiographic indices in the diagnosis of patients with low skeletal bone mass amongst 135 healthy perimenopausal women, aged 45-55 years, attending for routine dental treatment.Bone mineral density was measured for the spine and femoral neck, using dual energy X-ray ...

LOW BONE MASS IN CHILDREN WITH MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, 2007
The aim of this work was to study the effect of disease process on bone mass and calcium homeo-stasis in children with malignant lymphoma at diagnosis, 3 months after starting chemotherapy, and after 1 year. Evaluation of lumber vertebrae (L2-L4) bone mineral density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcium homeostasis parameters and bone ...

Causes of low peak bone mass in women

Maturitas, 2018
Peak bone mass is the maximum bone mass that accrues during growth and development. Consolidation of peak bone mass normally occurs during early adulthood. Low peak bone mass results from failure to achieve peak bone mass genetic potential, primarily due to bone loss caused by a variety of conditions or processes occurring at younger ages than usual ...

Prevalence of low bone mass in individuals with HIV infection

Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 2021
There are no population data on bone mass in individuals with HIV in Spain, adjusted for age and sex.Bone mineral density (BMD) data were obtained by dual X-ray absorptiometry in a cohort of individuals with HIV infection compared with cohort data from the general population in Spain and the United States of America.Of 928 individuals (mean 46 years ...

Drug Treatment of Low Bone Mass and Other Bone Conditions in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric Drugs, 2022
Osteoporosis may affect young individuals, albeit infrequently. In childhood, bone mass increases, reaching its peak between the second and third decades; then, after a period of stability, it gradually declines. Several conditions, including genetic disorders, chronic diseases, and some medications, can have an impact on bone homeostasis. Diagnosis in

Promoting adherence to bone-loading exercises in postmenopausal women with low bone mass

Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2021
ABSTRACT Background: We recently completed a parent study (Bone Loading Exercises versus Risedronate on Bone Health in Post-menopausal Women [NIH# R01NR015029]) examining bone-loading exercises to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
