Modelling the anabolic response of bone using a cell population model [PDF]
To maintain bone mass during bone remodelling, coupling is required between bone resorption and bone formation. This coordination is achieved by a network of autocrine and paracrine signalling molecules between cells of the osteoclast lineage and cells of the osteoblastic lineage.

Paget's disease of the skull causing hyperprolactinemia and erectile dysfunction: a case report
Introduction Hyperprolactinemia is an uncommon cause of erectile dysfunction in men. Paget's disease of the skull is a relatively common disease. This case proposes a rare example of a causative link between the two and how treatment of the Paget's ...

The essential requirement for effective treatment of Paget’s disease of bone is that the characteristic abnormality of bone remodelling is predictably corrected without the occurrence of significant side effects. Although the ideal agent is not currently available, appropriate use of the calcitonins or diphosphonates goes a long way to achieving this ...

Paget's disease of bone: A rare case report
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a localized bone remodeling disorder that is chronic, non-inflammatory.. It is also known as “osteodystrophia deformans” as described by Sir James Paget. PDB is the second most common bone disease after osteoporosis. This

An unusual presentation of metastatic bone disease in a subject with Paget's disease of bone
Solid organ malignancies involving breast, prostate, and lung frequently metastasize to the skeleton. However, the occurrence of Paget's disease and metastatic bone disease in the same patient is uncommon.

Abstract Paget's disease of bone is a localized disorder of bone remodeling. Increased numbers of larger than normal osteoclasts initiate the process at affected skeletal sites, and the increase in bone resorption is followed by an increase in new bone formation, altering bone architecture.

Background Paget's disease of bone (PDB) disrupts normal bone architecture and causes pain, deformity, deafness, osteoarthritis, and fractures. Genetic factors play a role in PDB and genetic tests are now conducted for research purposes.

Bone Marrow Cell Recognition: Training Deep Object Detection with A New Loss Function [PDF]
For a long time, bone marrow cell morphology examination has been an essential tool for diagnosing blood diseases. However, it is still mainly dependent on the subjective diagnosis of experienced doctors, and there is no objective quantitative standard.

Multiscale modeling of cancellous bone considering full coupling of mechanical, electrical and magnetic effects [PDF]
Modeling of cancellous bone has important applications in the detection and treatment of fatigue fractures and diseases like osteoporosis. In this paper, we present a fully coupled multiscale approach considering mechanical, electrical and magnetic effects by using the multiscale finite element method and a two-phase material model on the microscale ...

Paget's disease is an osteoclastic-mediated disorder of bone that results in abnormal bone resorption associated with inadequate remodeling that leads to mechanically weakened bone. Demonstrating variable geographic prevalence, it is becoming less frequent and age of onset is lengthening in areas of once high prevalence prior to the institution of ...
