Effect of testosterone replacement on trabecular architecture in hypogonadal men.
UNLABELLED We evaluated the effect of testosterone treatment on trabecular architecture by microMRI in 10 untreated severely hypogonadal men. After 2 years, microMRI parameters of trabecular connectivity improved significantly, suggesting the possibility that testosterone improves trabecular architecture. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis, characterized by low BMD and diminished bone quality, is a si...
متن کاملCombined implications of bone′s structural and material impairment following renal transplantation assessed by μMRI based finite-element modeling
INTRODUCTION: High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI) based micro-finite-element (μFE) modeling at peripheral sites is emerging as an attractive means to assess short-term alterations in bone’s mechanical competence caused by disease or in response to intervention [1, 2]. In this approach, subject-specific bone’s 3D micro-architecture derived from in-vivo μMRI is taken as input to a f...
متن کاملThread Pitch Variant in Orthodontic Mini-screws: A 3-D Finite Element Analysis
Orthodontic miniscrews are widely used as temporary anchorage devices to facilitate orthodontic movements. Miniscrew loosening is a common problem, which usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment. Macrodesign can affect the stability of a miniscrew by changing its diameter, length, thread pitch, thread shape, tapering angle and so on. In this study, a 3-D finite element analysis wa...
متن کاملAccuracy of high-resolution in vivo micro magnetic resonance imaging for measurements of microstructural and mechanical properties of human distal tibial bone.
Micro magnetic resonance imaging (µMRI) is an in vivo imaging method that permits 3D quantification of cortical and trabecular bone microstructure. µMR images can also be used for building microstructural finite element (µFE) models to assess bone stiffness, which highly correlates with bone's resistance to fractures. In order for µMRI-based microstructural and µFE analyses to become standard c...
متن کاملEffects of testosterone replacement therapy on cortical and trabecular bone mineral density, vertebral body area and paraspinal muscle area in hypogonadal men.
Loss of bone and muscle mass are major findings of male hypogonadism. In order to determine the long-term effect of testosterone replacement therapy on spinal bone and muscles, the trabecular and cortical bone mineral density, vertebral body area and paraspinal muscle area were assessed by quantitative computed tomography in 32 testosterone-substituted patients, aged 18-74 years, with idiopathi...
