Taurine supplementation has been shown to have a beneficial effect on femur bone mineral content in ovariectomized rats. It therefore seemed desirable to find out whether the beneficial effect of taurine on ovariectomized rats fed calcium deficient diet could also be reproduced. Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. One group was OVX and the other group received sham op...

A study was conducted to evaluate effects of different bone preparation methods on bone parameters and the correlations between bone breaking strength and the other bone parameters. Bone breaking strength is dramatically changed depending on bone preparation methods, whereas other bone parameters such as ash content and ash concentration are not significantly influenced by bone preparation meth...

An important application of simulating wave propagation in bone is the early detection osteoporosis. During course this disease cortical reduced and replaced by marrow, weakening increasing likelihood fractures [1]. Commonly, modeling problem to only mechanical effects. Recent research includes electrical magnetic effects as well [2-4]. In our previous contributions we introduced a two-phase ma...

Femur fractures are often treated by fixing metallic bone plates in the fractured area. But subjected to stress shielding. To overcome shielding, a material with similar strength and stiffness that of human can be better suited. The present study focuses on fabrication carbon-flax/bioepoxy hybrid composite. femur plate was modeled using SOLIDWORKS ® 2020 3D modeling software package. Hybrid com...

OBJECTIVES: Conventional imaging methods are excellent for the morphological characterization of the consequences of osteonecrosis; however, only specialized techniques have been considered useful for obtaining functional information. To explore the affinity of radiotracers for severely devascularized bone, a new mouse model of isolated femur implanted in a subcutaneous abdominal pocket was dev...

Disclosures: KP and GT are inventors on a patent application related to the Cortical Bone Mapping technique: GB0917524.1, "Image data processing systems." Abstract Regular exercisers have lower fracture risk, despite modest effects of exercise on BMC. Exercise may produce localised cortical and trabecular bone changes that affect bone strength independently of BMC. We previously demonstrated th...

a 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (on renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. the 99m tc-mdp images revealed marked hepatic uptake. in addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. as an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower pole. th...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that when located on the base of the coracoids process of the scapula is very rare and diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because of its rarity. Almost any bone can be involved, but half of cases involve the femur or tibia. The radiologic features of osteoid osteoma are well known, but these tumors may present with unusual features and be easily misd...

AIM To investigate the survival of laboratory rats after irradiation and to study the cellularity of their bone marrow and the multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in groups treated with or without a new thiol-based radioprotector (GM2011). METHODS Animals were irradiated by a Cobalt gamma source at 6.7 Gy. Treated animals were given i.p. GM2011 30 minutes before and 3 and 7 hours ...

BACKGROUND S100B is an acknowledged marker of brain damage. However, trauma without brain damage also causes an increase in S100B. S100B concentrations are highest in multiple trauma patients with long bone fractures. Clinically, extensive long bone fractures are associated with haemorrhagic shock and haemorrhagic shock per se is associated with increased S100B. The aim of our experimental stud...
