Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in HIV-infected patients: a reliable and low-cost technique for bone health assessment
Objective Bone demineralization is common in HIV-infected subjects. Reliable and low cost methods would be useful in order to identify and monitor bone alterations both in older and younger HIV+ patients. Recent data in normal population suggest that bone mineral quality (BMQ), assessed by a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technique, could be an early marker of osteopenia/osteoporosis. Therefore,...
متن کاملQuantitative Ultrasound (QUS) for the Assessment of Bone Health
Osteoporosis is known as a silent disease because bone density slowly decreases with advancing age and without symptoms. The incidence of osteoporosis is increasing yearly worldwide. Measuring bone mineral density (BMD) using conventional bone densitometry (DXA) is practical in diagnosis of osteoporosis but the cost is high and cannot be implemented in community. However, quantitative
متن کاملCalcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone analysis in adult HIV-positive patients.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients have an increased risk of developing osteopenia or osteoporosis compared with healthy individuals. Our aim was to compare dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD), with bone quantitative ultrasound (QUS), an alternative technique for predicting fractures and screening low BMD, at least in pos...
متن کاملReduced Quantitative Ultrasound Bone Mineral Density in HIV-Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Senegal
BACKGROUND Bone status in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral treatment (ART) is poorly documented in resource-limited settings. We compared bone mineral density between HIV-infected patients and control subjects from Dakar, Senegal. METHODS A total of 207 (134 women and 73 men) HIV-infected patients from an observational cohort in Dakar (ANRS 1215) and 207 age- and sex-matched controls f...
متن کاملQuantitative ultrasound and bone health.
This review of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and bone health uses the current literature to summarise the clinical and research effectiveness of QUS. QUS has been demonstrated to have the ability to predict fracture, particularly at the hip. However, the magnitude of prediction is fracture-site, measurement-site and device dependent. The correlations between dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and ...
