Assessment of bone mineral density in male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by DXA and quantitative computed tomography
(2016)The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of osteoporosis in male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) ... -
Associations between nutrition, energy expenditure and energy availability with bone mass acquisition in dance students: a 3-year longitudinal study
(2021)Summary: Three years of study showed that female and male vocational dancers displayed lower bone mass compared to controls, at forearm, lumbar spine and femoral neck. Energy intake was found to positively predict bone ... -
Body composition in adult patients with thalassemia major
(2016)Objective. To assess body composition in adult male and female patients with thalassemia major by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to compare the findings with a group of healthy age-matched controls. Methods. ... -
Bone mass of female dance students prior to professional dance training: A cross-sectional study
(2017)Background Professional dancers are at risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD). However, whether low BMD phenotypes already exist in pre-vocational dance students is relatively unknown. Aim To cross-sectionally ... -
Bone mineral density in vocational and professional ballet dancers
(2017)Summary: According to existing literature, bone health in ballet dancers is controversial. We have verified that, compared to controls, young female and male vocational ballet dancers have lower bone mineral density (BMD) ... -
Disparate habitual physical activity and dietary intake profiles of elderly men with low and elevated systemic inflammation
(2018)The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence of chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. The aim of this ... -
Endocrine parameters in association with bone mineral accrual in young female vocational ballet dancers
(2019)Summary: Less is known on bone mass gains in dancers involved in vocational dance training. The present study found that, as young vocational dancers progress on their professional training, their bone health remains ... -
The Impact of Sport Participation on Bone Mass and Geometry in Male Adolescents
(2017)Purpose Exercise is an effective approach for developing bone mass and adolescence is a key period to optimize bone health. However, sports-specific training may have different effects on bone outcomes. This study examined ... -
Longitudinal Adaptations of Bone Mass, Geometry, and Metabolism in Adolescent Male Athletes: The PRO-BONE Study
(2017)Adolescence is a crucial period for bone development, and exercise can enhance bone acquisition during this period of life. However, it is not known how the different loading sports practiced can affect bone acquisition ... -
Longitudinal determinants of 12-month changes on bone health in adolescent male athletes
(2018)Summary: We identified the determinants of 12-month changes of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), hip geometry and trabecular bone score (TBS) in adolescent male athletes. Changes in region-specific lean mass and the type ... -
Physical activity may be a potent regulator of bone turnover biomarkers in healthy girls during preadolescence
(2017)This study investigated the effects of different levels of habitual physical activity (PA) assessed by pedometry on bone turnover markers of preadolescent girls according to a cross-sectional experimental design. Sixty ... -

Simultaneous bilateral posteromedial tibial epiphysis stress fractures in a healthy young man: A case report
(2021)We present a compelling case of simultaneous, bilateral tibial stress fractures occurring in a unique epiphyseal and posterior location, with unclear aetiology. An overweight, Caucasian male in his late 20s developed ... -
Time to Deal with Rheumatoid Cachexia: Prevalence, Diagnostic Criteria, Treatment Effects and Evidence for Management
(2022)Cachexia is an early result of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (rheumatoid cachexia, RC), characterised mainly by involuntary loss of fat-free mass. RC is apparent in 1-67% of patients with RA, depending on the diagnostic criteria ... -
Total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis
(2020)There is a high prevalence of osteoporosis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. There are several clinically relevant questions related to the management of such cases: the effect of ageing; the initial ...
