Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is associated with an increased prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia. They aim to evaluate the use of the World Health Organization Fracture Risk Assessment … Leer más
Different model systems using osteoblastic cell lines have been developed to help understand the process of bone formation. Here, we report the establishment of two human osteoblastic cell lines obtained from primary cultures upon transduction … Leer más
Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody to the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), might be a novel preventative therapy for BRCA1-mutation carriers at high risk of developing breast cancer. They tested the alternative but not … Leer más
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of a simple exercise program on the balance and strength of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that a physical exercise program based on balance and strength exercises, … Leer más
Abdominal CT images obtained for other reasons can identify patients with osteoporosis BMD without additional radiation exposure or cost. Uncalibrated values at L1 can detect more osteoporosis patients with spinal compression fractures than DXA in … Leer más
Paget’s disease of bone is the second most common bone disease after osteoporosis. It is characterized by focal regions of highly exaggerated bone remodeling, with abnormalities in all phases of the remodeling process. This study … Leer más
MicroRNAs are small, noncoding single-stranded RNAs that have emerged as important posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression, with an essential role in vertebrate development and different biological processes. This review highlights the recent advances in the … Leer más
