Development of a multi-scale finite element model of the osteoporotic lumbar vertebral body for the investigation of apparent level vertebra mechanics and micro-level trabecular mechanics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Osteoporotic spinal fractures are a major concern in ageing Western societies. This study develops a multi-scale finite element (FE) model of the osteoporotic lumbar vertebral body to study the mechanics of vertebral compression fracture at both the ...

Bone Health and Aging in Klinefelter Syndrome

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is typically diagnosed in young adults, but advances in prenatal testing have led to its recognition at a much earlier age. Conversely, diagnosis in late adulthood remains uncommon, but still occurs. Independently from the age at diagnosis, KS individuals now receive more accurate and tailored care management than in ...

Genetically Proxied GIP‐GIPR Pathway Perturbation and Fracture Risk

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To determine whether genetic proxies for incretin pathway perturbation are associated with fracture risk and bone mineral density, providing human genetic evidence relevant to the skeletal safety of incretin‐based therapies. Materials and Methods We conducted drug‐target Mendelian randomisation using cis genetic variants near GIP, GIPR ...

Recognizing and reporting osteoporotic vertebral fractures [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Spine Journal, 2003
Vertebral fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis, and occur with a higher incidence earlier in life than any other type of osteoporotic fractures. It has been shown that both symptomatic and asymptomatic vertebral fractures are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Bone fractures after menopause [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Every year 30% of individuals above age 65 fall, and falls are the principal cause of bone fractures. To reduce fracture incidence requires both prevention of falls and maintenance of bone strength.PubMed searches were performed, for studies of the ...
