OBJECTIVE The study tested the hypothesis that females who sustain stress fractures of cancellous bone have decreased bone density. DESIGN A retrospective, controlled, cross-sectional study. SETTING The setting of the study was a tertiary care center for Women's Sports Medicine. PATIENTS 20 female patients under the age of 40 who had suffered a stress fracture and who had a positive diagn...

Background and Aim: The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 consensus defined sarcopenia as "age-related loss of muscle mass, plus low strength, and/or physical performance". Low mass is using height-adjusted on whole body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) <7.0 kg/m2 in men <5.4 women. We looked at the prevalence a cohort cirrhotic patients DEXA Scan. aimed to assess adult with...

The development of a novel rapid dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) system provides the opportunity to improve measurement beef carcase composition. A prototype DEXA was built in shipping container scan 51 carcases selected for wide range weight and fatness. One side each spray chilled other conventionally overnight before being quartered scanning then cut into 16 pieces CT determine Spray...

Aims and objectives: To compare the accuracy of prediction of osteoporosis in digital panoramic radiography with Dual Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans and serum investigations such, as calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase in postmenopausal women. The objective of the study is to detect the appearance of eroded mandibular cortex (cortical shape), inferior cortical width appearance on Digit...

OBJECTIVE It is a well-known fact that osteoporosis affects the people with old age and remains unnoticeable until the patient presents with fracture. Various studies in the literature reveal that panoramic radiographs may prove to be beneficial in the detection of Osteoporosis in patients. Henceforth this present study was aimed to validate the use of Klemetti Index (KI) on panoramic radiograp...

INTRODUCTION Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) predispose breast cancer patients to accelerated bone loss. Guidelines recommend initial screening and follow up of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. In this audit we assessed the rate of adherence to these guidelines and introduced awareness measures to improve it. METHODS All post-menopausal women who sta...

An increase in femoral and tibio/fibular bone mass following periosteal membrane stimulation by Moloney sarcoma virus inoculation into thigh muscles of mice was measured in situ on formalin fixed excised hind limbs using a Hologic 4500A Fan Beam X-ray bone densitometer adapted for small bone samples. These results were verified by measurements of constant dry bone mass of the same bones liberat...

Bone is a dynamic tissue. It remodels, thereby maintaining serum calcium, repairing micro damage and maintaining strength. A reduction in the strength of bone leads to osteoporosis that may manifest clinically as low energy vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. The bone strength, in turn, is determined by its material, structural properties and on its remodeling potential. Commonly, osteoporos...
