Skeletal Bone Age Assessment
Bone age assessment is a procedure frequently performed in pediatric radiology. Based on a radiological examination of skeletal development of the left-hand wrist, bone age is assessed and then compared with the chronological age. A discrepancy between these two values indicates abnormalities in skeletal development. The procedure is often used in the management and diagnosis of endocrine disor...
متن کاملPathophysiology of age-related bone loss and osteoporosis.
Aging is associated with significant bone loss in women and in men [1]. Fig. 1, which draws on numerous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), depicts the overall pattern of bone loss in both sexes. The menopause in women is associated with a rapid loss of trabecular bone, as is present in the vertebrae, pelvis...
متن کاملDoes differential strategy use account for age-related deficits in working-memory performance?
The strategy-deficit hypothesis states that age differences in the use of effective strategies contribute to age-related deficits in working memory span performance. To evaluate this hypothesis, strategy use was measured with set-by-set strategy reports during the Reading Span task (Experiments 1 and 2) and the Operation Span task (Experiment 2). Individual differences in the reported use of ef...
متن کاملPoint:Counterpoint: Skeletal muscle mechanical efficiency does/does not increase with age POINT: SKELETAL MUSCLE MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY DOES INCREASE WITH AGE
We thank Dr. Ortega for the opportunity to debate the concept that aging affects exercise efficiency. From the outset we must acknowledge that, indeed, some studies report an age-related reduction task efficiency during walking and other rather complex tasks (2, 12, 20, 21). However, in contrast, our recent study of leg cycling in centenarians (28), as well as other work focused more specifical...
متن کاملImplications of combined Ovariectomy/Multi-Deficiency Diet on rat bone with age-related variation in Bone Parameters and Bone Loss at Multiple Skeletal Sites by DEXA
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a multi-factorial, chronic, skeletal disease highly prevalent in post-menopausal women and is influenced by hormonal and dietary factors. Because animal models are imperative for disease diagnostics, the present study establishes and evaluates enhanced osteoporosis obtained through combined ovariectomy and deficient diet by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) for ...
