A New 3D Segmentation Methodology for Lumbar Vertebral Bodies for the Measurement of BMD and Geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper a new technique is presented that extracts the geometry of lumbar vertebral bodies from spiral CT scans. Our new multi-step segmentation approach yields highly accurate and precise measurement of the bone mineral density (BMD) in different volumes of interest which are defined relative to a local anatomical coordinate systems.

Aging Cell, EarlyView.This study identifies BRD4 as a key regulator in intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD), linking its upregulation to NP cell senescence and disrupted ECM metabolism through the BRD4/MAP2K7/PGF signaling cascade, offering a potential therapeutic target for IDD treatment.

A New 3D Method to Segment the Lumbar Vertebral Bodies and to Determine Bone Mineral Density and Geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper we present a new 3D segmentation approach for the vertebrae of the lower thoracic and the lumbar spine in spiral computed tomography datasets. We implemented a multi-step procedure. Its main components are deformable models, volume growing, and morphological operations.

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Classic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by one extra X chromosome (47, XXY), leading to hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and higher risk of alterations in glycolipid homeostasis, cardiovascular diseases, and low bone mineral density. Most frequently, KS is diagnosed in adulthood because of infertility.

Clinical Features of Seven COL2A1 Variations in Chinese Children With Type II Collagen Disorders
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACTAimType II collagen, encoded by the collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) gene, is crucial for the structure of cartilage. This study aims to improve our understanding of Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita (SEDC) caused by mutations in COL2A1.
