Recent Advancements in Lung Cancer Metastasis Prevention Based on Nanostrategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with lung cancer. Nanomedicine can be used to prepare efficient drug delivery systems owing to their advantages and plays an important role in the synergistic antimetastasis of lung cancer. This comprehensive review summarizes the emerging nanostrategies against lung cancer metastasis based on the ...

Towards whole-body CT Bone Segmentation [PDF]

, 2018
Bone segmentation from CT images is a task that has been worked on for decades. It is an important ingredient to several diagnostics or treatment planning approaches and relevant to various diseases. As high-quality manual and semi-automatic bone segmentation is very time-consuming, a reliable and fully automatic approach would be of great interest in ...

Bone mineral density estimation from a plain X-ray image by learning decomposition into projections of bone-segmented computed tomography [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease that causes fractures in fragile bones, leading to a decline in daily living activities. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) are highly accurate for diagnosing osteoporosis; however, these modalities require special equipment and scan protocols.

Utilization and expenditure on medicines for the management of osteoporosis in Ireland: A repeated cross‐sectional study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk. Management of osteoporosis typically involves antiresorptive and anabolic therapies, which are reimbursed in Ireland through various drug schemes.

Protocol for stage 1 of the GaP study (Genetic testing acceptability for Paget's disease of bone): an interview study about genetic testing and preventive treatment: would relatives of people with Paget's disease want testing and treatment if they were available?

BMC Health Services Research, 2006
Background Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is characterised by focal increases in bone turnover, affecting one or more bones throughout the skeleton. This disrupts normal bone architecture and causes pain, deformity, deafness, osteoarthritis, and fractures.

Towards a New Spatial Representation of Bone Remodeling [PDF]

, 2011
Irregular bone remodeling is associated with a number of bone diseases such as osteoporosis and multiple myeloma. Computational and mathematical modeling can aid in therapy and treatment as well as understanding fundamental biology. Different approaches to modeling give insight into different aspects of a phenomena so it is useful to have an arsenal ...

Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

An incidental finding of the Lincoln sign on FDG PET-CT in a patient with rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma giving rise to the diagnosis of Paget's disease

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
Background Paget's disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by disorderly bone remodeling process of excessive osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities leading to a structurally disorganized appearance of the bone.

Lipid and Corticosteroid Biomarkers Under the Influence of Bisphosphonates

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
The detection of bisphosphonates is important due to the potential integrity and welfare issues associated with use of these substances. Targeted detection of a nitrogenous and non‐nitrogenous bisphosphonate was detected for 8 h and 28 days post‐administration, respectively.
