There is a small correlation between quantitative US measurements at the calcaneus and phalangeal BMD that increases to a moderate level with quantitative US measurements at the phalanges in elderly Spanish men.
Osteoporosis International 2014; 25: 2685-2700. doi: 10.1002/biof.1186. The osteocyte network plays a central role in directing bone response either to mechanical loading, or to unloading, leading correspondingly to bone formation or resorption. This review shows … Leer más
Published evidence suggests that olive oil phenols can be beneficial by preventing the loss of bone mass. It has been demonstrated that they can modulate the proliferative capacity and cell maturation of osteoblasts by increasing … Leer más
Rheumatologists should be alert to osteomalacia in patients receiving tenofovir. The main complaint reported by these patients is diffuse pain, predominantly in the lower limbs, indicating multiple stress fractures. Serum phosphate and appropriate screening for … Leer más
This review summarizes the complex pathophysiology of CKD-MBD and outlines which laboratory abnormalities represent biomarkers of disease severity, which laboratory abnormalities are predictors of cardiovascular disease, and which laboratory abnormalities should be considered (direct) uremic … Leer más
According to our results, VDR locus association follows an additive model in which increased genetic risk score for the VDR is directly correlated with AIDS progression rates. Our data supports a role of vitamin-D pathway … Leer más
To further foster this research, the pathway to eventually obtain authorisation from the National Competent Authorities and Research Ethics Committees under the European regulation is reviewed, and the experience of the REBORNE European project offers … Leer más
There are currently substantial developments being made in the understanding of the interplay between bone metabolism and the metabolic system. These insights could potentially lead to the development of new treatment strategies and interventions with … Leer más
Our results demonstrate that: 1) 17β-estradiol (E2) at physiological plasma levels in female rats is neuroprotective in male rats when given at the acute stage of the ischemic challenge; and 2) bazedoxifene acetate at clinically … Leer más
These results reinforce the role of antioxidant pathways and of B-cells in bone metabolism. Furthermore, it shows that a genome-wide gene expression approach in animal models is a useful method for detecting genes associated to … Leer más
