Effect of chromatin structure on quantitative ultrasound parameters
High-frequency ultrasound (~20 MHz) techniques were investigated using in vitro and ex vivo models to determine whether alterations in chromatin structure are responsible for ultrasound backscatter changes in biological samples. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and their isolated nuclei were exposed to various chromatin altering treatments. These included 10 different ionic environments, DNA ...
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 ...
متن کاملCalcaneal Quantitative Ultrasound as a Determinant of Bone Health Status: What Properties of Bone Does It Reflect?
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has emerged as a convenient and popular screening tool for osteoporosis. This review aimed to provide basic information on the principle of QUS measurement and discuss the properties of bone reflected by QUS indices. QUS employed high frequency sound waves generated by the device to determine bone health status in humans. In vitro studies showed that QUS indices we...
متن کاملHigher body mass, older age and higher monounsaturated fatty acids intake reflect better quantitative ultrasound parameters in Inuit preschoolers
OBJECTIVES Investigate the effects of selected factors associated with quantitative ultrasound parameters among Inuit preschoolers living in Arctic communities (56° 32'-72° 40'N). MATERIALS AND METHODS Children were selected randomly in summer and early fall (n=296). Dietary intake was assessed through the administration of a 24-h dietary recall (24-h recall) and a food frequency questionnair...
متن کاملChanges of bone mineral density, quantitative ultrasound parameters and markers of bone turnover during treatment of hyperthyroidism.
BACKGROUND The extent of reversibility of loss of bone mass density (BMD) in hyperthyroid patients after treatment is not clear. METHODS The bone density measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the parameters of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and biochemical markers of bone turnover of 22 patients were measured before and after one year of treatment with thiamazole and levothyroxine. RE...
