Ptosis as a unique hallmark for autosomal recessive WNT1-associated osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...

Irisin Levels Are Lower in Young Amenorrheic Athletes Compared with Eumenorrheic Athletes and Non-Athletes and Are Associated with Bone Density and Strength Estimates [PDF]
, 2014 Irisin and FGF21 are novel hormones implicated in the “browning” of white fat, thermogenesis, and energy homeostasis. However, there are no data regarding these hormones in amenorrheic athletes (AA) (a chronic energy deficit state) compared with ...

The clinical eficacy of vitamin D in children with primary low bone mass [PDF]
Pediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, 2011 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 ?

High prevalence of low bone mass in thalassaemia major [PDF]
British Journal of Haematology, 1998 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

Simultaneous Bone and Shadow Segmentation Network using Task Correspondence Consistency [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Segmenting both bone surface and the corresponding acoustic shadow are fundamental tasks in ultrasound (US) guided orthopedic procedures. However, these tasks are challenging due to minimal and blurred bone surface response in US images, cross-machine discrepancy, imaging artifacts, and low signal-to-noise ratio.

Low Bone Mass in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Internal Medicine, 2012 A 14-year-old girl with type-III Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) underwent a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) evaluation of the bone mineral density (BMD) in the scoliotic lumbar spine (L-spine), which measured 0.464 g/ cm (T-score: -5.3, Z-score: -4.23) (Picture 1).

Orexin Regulates Bone Remodeling via a Dominant Positive Central Action and a Subordinate Negative Peripheral Action [PDF]
, 2014 SummaryOrexin neuropeptides promote arousal, appetite, reward, and energy expenditure. However, whether orexin affects bone mass accrual is unknown. Here, we show that orexin functions centrally through orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) in the brain to enhance ...

Stress shielding at the bone-implant interface: influence of surface roughness and of the bone-implant contact ratio [PDF]
, 2020 Short and long-term stabilities of cementless implants are strongly determined by the interfacial load transfer between implants and bone tissue. Stress-shielding effects arise from shear stresses due to the difference of material properties between bone and the implant.
