BACKGROUND Prostate cancer subjects with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse who are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are recommended to have baseline and serial bone densitometry and receive bisphosphonates. The purpose of this community population study was to assess the utilization of bone densitometry and bisphosphonate therapy in men receiving ADT for non-metastatic pros...

Using a cluster sampling method, a group of menopausal women from three geographic areas in Tehran were asked to participate in the study. Demographic data was obtained using a questionnaire. Subjects were than referred to perform bone mass densitometry (BMD). The relationship between various variables (i.e. age of menarche, number of years of endogenous estrogen exposure, ... ) with minera...

CONTEXT Osteoporotic fractures are common among elderly men. OBJECTIVE To evaluate among older men the cost-effectiveness of bone densitometry followed by 5 years of oral bisphosphonate therapy to prevent fractures for those found to have osteoporosis (femoral neck T score < or =-2.5), compared with no intervention. DESIGN, SETTING, AND POPULATION Computer Markov microsimulation model using...

Bone loss leads to increase risk of fractures in renal transplantation. The aim this study was analyse the relationship between bone densitometry (DXA) findings, histomorphometry and bone-related molecules 1-year after We performed a cross-sectional de novo transplanted patients that agreed perform biopsy DXA examination 1 year All underwent laboratory evaluation, biopsy, cardiac CT 67 were inc...

Periprosthetic adaptive bone remodelling after total hip arthroplasty can be simulated in computer models, combining bone remodelling theory with finite element analysis. Patient specific three-dimensional finite element models of retrieved bone specimens from an earlier bone densitometry (DEXA) study were constructed and bone remodelling simulations performed. Results of the simulations were a...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether osteoporosis influenced the clinical results of distal radius fractures in women above the age of 40 years. Forty patients underwent bone mineral densitometry of the distal forearm, hip and lumbar spine. Radiographs of both wrists were taken at the time of fracture healing and the difference in ulnar variance, palmar tilt and radial inclination...

Infants and children <5 yr were not included in the 2007 International Society for Clinical Densitometry Official Positions regarding Skeletal Health Assessment of Children and Adolescents. To advance clinical care of very young children, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry 2013 Position Development Conference reviewed the literature addressing appropriate methods and skeletal s...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between weight in infancy and bone mass during the seventh decade of life in a population based cohort for which detailed birth and childhood records were preserved. METHODS 189 women and 224 men who were aged 63-73 years and were born in East Hertfordshire underwent bone densitometry by dual energy x ray absorptiometry. Measurements were also made of seru...

Incidental detection of lumbar Paget's disease by bone densitometry SIR, Bone densitometry of the hip and lumbar spine using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to diagnose osteoporosis. We report three patients who were referred for bone densitometry, in whom a diagnosis of Paget's disease was made after the investigation of significantly increased bone mineral density (BMD) of a si...
