Usefulness of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound stiffness for the evaluation of bone health in HIV-1-infected subjects: Comparison with dual X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]
Objectives: With the development of effective treatments and the resulting increase in life expectancy, bone mineral density (BMD) alteration has emerged as an important comorbidity in human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. The

Ptosis as a unique hallmark for autosomal recessive WNT1-associated osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder, mainly characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. Defects in the type I procollagen-encoding genes account for the majority of OI, but increasingly more rare autosomal ...

Recent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans [PDF]
Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body ...

High prevalence of low bone mass in thalassaemia major [PDF]
Cooley's original description of β‐thalassaemia major included marked bone deformities as a characteristic feature. These were thought to be due to expansion of haemopoiesis attempting to compensate for the congenital anaemia. Regular blood transfusions from infancy prevents these skeletal problems. Nevertheless, symptoms due to bone disease frequently

The clinical eficacy of vitamin D in children with primary low bone mass [PDF]
Introduction: Vitamin D suplementation in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is a widely accepted standard, but the latest studies show the necessity of increasing the intake of this vitamin to keep its concetration on higher levels ?

Diagnosis of low bone mass in CKD-5D patients [PDF]
Currently, there is no consensus whether dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or quantitative computed tomography (QCT) can be used to screen for osteoporosis or osteopenia in CKD-5D patients. This study uses iliac bone histology, the "gold standard" for bone volume evaluation, to determine the utility of DXA and QCT for low bone mass screening in ...

Bone health in cerebral palsy: Who's at risk and what to do about it?
CP is the most prevalent childhood condition associated with low bone mass. Bone density is decreased in children with CP who sustain fragility fractures that impair function and quality of life.
