The roles of miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA in the development of osteoporosis
Biological Research, 2020 Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, that increases bone fragility and fracture risk and, therefore, has a serious adverse effect on the quality of life of patients.

Opportunistic Assessment of Hip Fracture Risk Based on Chest CT
Orthopaedic SurgeryObjective Hip fracture (HF) has been described as the “last fracture of life” in the elderly, so the assessment of HF risk is extremely important. Currently, few studies have examined the relationship between imaging data from chest computed tomography ...

Make Your Bone Great Again : A study on Osteoporosis Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Osteoporosis can be identified by looking at 2D x-ray images of the bone. The high degree of similarity between images of a healthy bone and a diseased one makes classification a challenge. A good bone texture characterization technique is essential for identifying osteoporosis cases.

3D Convolutional Sequence to Sequence Model for Vertebral Compression Fractures Identification in CT [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An osteoporosis-related fracture occurs every three seconds worldwide, affecting one in three women and one in five men aged over 50. The early detection of at-risk patients facilitates effective and well-evidenced preventative interventions, reducing the incidence of major osteoporotic fractures.

Downturn in Childhood Bone Mass: A Cross‐Sectional Study Over Four Decades
JBMR Plus, 2022 Screen time and physical inactivity have increased among children. As physical activity is a determinant of bone mass, there is a concern that children today have lower bone mass than earlier.

osteoprotegerin-deficient mice develop early onset osteoporosis and arterial calcification.
Genes & Development, 1998 Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted protein that inhibits osteoclast formation. In this study the physiological role of OPG is investigated by generating OPG-deficient mice.

Human Bone Typing Using Quantitative Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
International Dental Journal, 2023 Introduction: Bone typing is crucial to enable the choice of a suitable implant, the surgical technique, and the evaluation of the clinical outcome. Currently, bone typing is assessed subjectively by the surgeon.

Introducing Anisotropic Minkowski Functionals for Local Structure Analysis and Prediction of Biomechanical Strength of Proximal Femur Specimens [PDF]
Master's Thesis - 2013, 2020 Bone fragility and fracture caused by osteoporosis or injury are prevalent in adults over the age of 50 and can reduce their quality of life. Hence, predicting the biomechanical bone strength, specifically of the proximal femur, through non-invasive imaging-based methods is an important goal for the diagnosis of Osteoporosis as well as estimating ...
