A short-term whole body vibration therapy is not enough to cause any changes on bone mineral content or bone mineral density and it only produces a slight variation on bone structure among elderly people. Autor: Gómez-Cabello … Leer más
We provide strong and significant evidence from both linkage and association analyses that the SOST gene may affect the strength of the femoral shaft. Future investigations should study the relationship between bone mass formation and … Leer más
After examining results for 10 different bone fracture sites, advanced age appeared the single best possibility for uniting several different sites, resulting in an empirically based composite fracture risk model. Several fracture prediction models that … Leer más
In our series, the plasma rich in growth factors showed better results than the teriparatide in the treatment of recurrent oral bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis. The aim of this study is to describe and compare the evolution … Leer más
In patients with prostate carcinoma, estrogen levels influence bone resorption and bone formation whereas androgens may exert actions only in bone resorption. These results suggest that estradiol is the main sex steroid that regulates bone … Leer más
