Background: During lactation, metabolic changes in the bone in different areas of the body may affect the amount of bone mineral density.The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between breastfeeding and bone mineral density in women. Materials and Methods:  In this study, articles were searched at Cochran, Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases until June 201...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, we evaluated all patients referred to a single rheumatology clinic for bone mineral density measurements from 2009 to 2010. all patients who had bone mineral density measurements taken from the hip, lumbar spine, forearm, and whole body were enrolled in the study. standard bone mineral density measurements were performed using a dual energy x-...

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

fracture. several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. this study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. materials and methods: 336 normal bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (bmds) by means of dual x-ray absorptiometry (dxa). results:...

Body weight is positively associated with bone mineral density but the relationship between obesity and bone mineral density is unclear. Leptin and adiponectin are potential independent contributors to bone mineral density. We assessed the correlations of body composition, leptin and adiponectin with bone mineral density, and whether leptin, adiponectin and body composition determine bone miner...

Background: Total bone mass acquired during childhood is known to be the most important determinant and base of lifelong skeletal health. The present study investigated the prevalence of low bone mass for chronological age (LBM) in lumbar and femoral areas of leukemic children in the south of Iran and evaluated the association of anthropometric, clinical and laboratory data of these children ...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term changes in bone density profile among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients and Methods: This was a 5 year prospective study comprised of thirty-one survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a mean age of 11.8 (4.6) years, who completed therapy at least 1 year previously (according to the ...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Surgical treatment is preferred in our department in all patients with type II and type III dens fractures, regardless of their age, with the exception of non-displaced or completely reduced fractures in young patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients over 65 years of age treated by direct osteosynthesis of the dens or posterior atlanto-axial fixation and spo...

background: osteoporosis (op) is a common complication of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (ra). in this study we evaluated osteoporosis and its related factors in ra patients. methods: this cross - sectional study was carried out from 2010 to 2011 on 121 women with ra aged 45-75 years. these patients were selected and divided in two groups according to their bone mineral den...
