BACKGROUND The incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and osteoporosis increases with age, especially in the elderly. Many studies have shown that vessel calcification is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of bone fractures. Experimental studies have shown that osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene knockout mice have aortic calcification and osteoporosis at the same t...

The role and frequency of human herpesviruses (HHV)-6 and -7 in central nervous system (CNS) diseases of children are unclear. Cerebrospinal fluid samples from 245 pediatric patients (median age 43 days), submitted for evaluations of possible sepsis or of neurologic symptoms, were tested for HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA by polymerase chain reaction. HHV-6 DNA was found in 3 of 245 samples, and HHV-7 was...
