Daily School Physical Activity Improves Academic Performance

Sports, 2020
Physical activity (PA) may improve brain development, cognition, concentration and academic performance. In this prospective controlled intervention study, we increased the level of PA in 338 children aged 6–8 years at study start, from the Swedish ...

Birth and death of bone cells: basic regulatory mechanisms and implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis.

Endocrine reviews, 2000
The adult skeleton regenerates by temporary cellular structures that comprise teams of juxtaposed osteoclasts and osteoblasts and replace periodically old bone with new.

Exercise and Nutrition Impact on Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia—The Incidence of Osteosarcopenia: A Narrative Review

Nutrients, 2021
Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are diseases which affect the myoskeletal system and often occur in older adults. They are characterized by low bone density and loss of muscle mass and strength, factors which reduce the quality of life and mobility. Recently,

T-Cell Mediated Inflammation in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease that affects half the women in the sixth and seventh decade of life. Osteoporosis is characterized by uncoupled bone resorption that leads to low bone mass, compromised microarchitecture and ...

Vertebral HU value and the pectoral muscle index based on chest CT can be used to opportunistically screen for osteoporosis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Existing studies have shown that computed tomography (CT) attenuation and skeletal muscle tissue are strongly associated with osteoporosis; however, few studies have examined whether vertebral HU values and the pectoral muscle index (PMI ...

Membrane estrogen receptor α signaling modulates the sensitivity to estradiol treatment in a dose- and tissue- dependent manner

Scientific Reports, 2023
Estradiol (E2) affects both reproductive and non-reproductive tissues, and the sensitivity to different doses of E2 varies between tissues. Membrane estrogen receptor α (mERα)-initiated signaling plays a tissue-specific role in mediating E2 effects ...

Semi-Supervised Learning for Bone Mineral Density Estimation in Hip X-ray Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a clinically critical indicator of osteoporosis, usually measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Due to the limited accessibility of DEXA machines and examinations, osteoporosis is often under-diagnosed and under-treated, leading to increased fragility fracture risks. Thus it is highly desirable to obtain BMDs

Endocortical bone loss in osteoporosis: The role of bone surface availability [PDF]

Int J Numer Meth Biomed Engng (2013) 29:1307-1322, 2012
Age-related bone loss and postmenopausal osteoporosis are disorders of bone remodelling, in which less bone is reformed than resorbed. Yet, this dysregulation of bone remodelling does not occur equally in all bone regions. Loss of bone is more pronounced near and at the endocortex, leading to cortical wall thinning and medullary cavity expansion, a ...

Screening for Osteoporosis to Prevent Fractures: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2018
Importance By 2020, approximately 12.3 million individuals in the United States older than 50 years are expected to have osteoporosis. Osteoporotic fractures, particularly hip fractures, are associated with limitations in ambulation, chronic pain and ...
