The use of deep learning methods for the automatic detection and quantification bone metastases in scan images holds significant clinical value. A fast accurate automated system segmenting metastatic lesions can assist physicians diagnosis. In this study, a small internal dataset comprising 100 breast cancer patients (90 cases metastasis 10 non-metastasis) prostate (50 50 was used model trainin...

Background: Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) is synthesized by the osteoblasts and is presumed to be involved in the calcification of bone matrix, though its precise role in the formation process is unknown. The aim of the present study was to measure the BAP activity in Paget's and normal specimens by two different techniques. Methods: Total ALP (TAP) as well as BAP activity-measuring ...

Currently available non-invasive clinical methods for diagnosing osteoporosis are mainly associated with ionizing radiation. Ultrasonic assessment of bone disease is a more recent technology. A theoretical explanation for the relationship between ultrasonic parameters and bone structure is necessary. Thus, two types of bone samples of perspex (HAP) and perspex-glass beads were produced. Ea...

case: isolated talus osteomyelitis caused by koch's bacillus (bk) is extremely rare. in this paper we report an isolated talus bone tuberculosis in a 52 year-old man who presented a 2-month history of swelling, pain and functional disability of his right ankle. surgical bone curetting and histological examination showed granuloma with central caseating necrosis. acid fast stain and pcr exa...

Objective (s): Artificial bone implants have been studied as a possible bone replacement for fractured and destroyed facial tissue; the techniques employed to determine the success of the dental implants. The stability, porosity and resistance of the bone implant which is subjected to varying forces and stresses within the surrounding bone is a subject of interest among the dentists. Materials ...

of a Master's Thesis in Human Biology at the University of Indianapolis filed August 2003 Dr. Mary K. Ritke, Co-Chair Dr. Stephen P. Nawrocki, Co-Chair To investigate the relationship between gross bone condition and DNA preservation, the skeletal remains of thirty-nine adult individuals from 19th century Euro-American coffin burials from central Indiana were examined. It was hypothesized that ...

Introduction: Trans people represent a vulnerable group, and their health conditions are poorly understood. A trans woman is person who at birth has the biological sex of man, but identifies expresses herself as feminine. Objectives: to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) its associations with habits body composition in Mexican women (TW). Material methods: cross-sectional study was carried out...

ꞵ-tricalcium phosphate (ꞵ-TCP) and anorthite are the main crystalline components in bone china bodies. The difference in their thermal expansion coefficients causes a decrease in the thermal shock resistance of the body. In this study, anorthite was replaced with bone ash at the bone china body, and the effect of this new composition on different properties of bone china, after curing at 1260 °...

Surgical bone curetting and histological examination showed granuloma with central caseating necrosis. Acid fast stain and PCR examin...

introduction: nowadays various bone pain palliative therapeutic agents have been developed for bone metastases. among those, 153sm-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (153sm-edtmp) is the major therapeutic agent which is widely used in the world. in this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of this therapeutic radiopharmaceutical have been presented and foll...
