Peripheral Mononuclear Cells to Screen, Monitor and Stratify the Population at Risk of Osteoporosis and Fractures
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of most common age-associated and chronic metabolic bone diseases, featured by a decrease of bone mineral density (BMD) that increases the risk of bone fractures.OP guidelines agree that Dual-X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for BMD assessment, but for the different OP stages screening and …
Assessment of Kidney Function and Osteomuscular Status After Critical Care
This observational study aims to assess kidney function through direct glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using iohexol clearance, compared to estimated GFR based on creatinine and cystatin C equations. Kidney function will also be evaluated through renal fibrosis biomarkers. Kidney function will be correlated to body composition, muscle turnover biomarkers, and …
Skeletal Effects of Type 1 Diabetes on Low-Trauma Fracture Risk
Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have a higher risk of low-trauma (osteoporotic) fracture that is 7-12 times higher than non-diabetics. The bone density of people with Type 1 Diabetes is higher at the time of fracture than in non-diabetics. This suggests the presence of underlying bone tissue mechanical …
The Impact of Hormonal Contraceptive Use and Lifestyle Factors on Fracture Risk and Bone Quality in Young Female Adults
The study on hand is based on a cross-sectional design and aims to acquire 1) descriptive data on the physical state and health condition of female soldiers in the German armed forces. 2) a possible influence of different contraceptive methods as well as physical activity, body composition, strength, nutrition, and …
Exosome microRNAs as Potential Biomarkers of Metabolic Bone Disease of Prematurity
Metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) is caused by insufficient content of calcium, phosphorus, and organic protein matrix in preterm infants or bone metabolism disorder, which is one of the complications affecting the quality of life of preterm infants. The early symptoms of MBDP are insidious, and there is no …
Accuracy of Extra-oral Bite-wing Radiography in Detecting Calculus and Crestal Bone Loss
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
Effects of mHealth Message on Metabolic Syndrome and Bone Loss of HIV Infected Persons in Taiwan
With improved AIDS treatment leading to extended survival, HIV-infected individuals face a higher metabolic syndrome incidence. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Non-AIDS related Comorbidities (NARC) in HIV-infected individuals. Using purposive and snowball sampling, the cross-sectional survey targets 400 HIV-infected individuals aged 40 and above. Data collection includes …
Bone Loss, Physical Function and Frailty in Older Women With Sickle Cell Trait Sickle Cell Trait
This is a cross-sectional, clinical research study comparing postmenopausal women of African Descent (AD) with different hemoglobin genotypes: normal and sickle cell trait (SCT). This research study has two purposes. The first purpose is to determine whether having SCT is a risk factor for the development of bone thinning in …
Subperiosteal Implants Constructed With Digital Technology
Atrophied jaw is a condition where there is insufficient bone quantity to place root form implants. Several treatment plans are available for treating atrophied jaws, including subperiosteal implants. Subperiosteal implants were introduced in the last century. Poor clinical results led those implants to be progressively abandoned. Recently, several Authors suggested …
Ultrasound for Socket Healing Evaluation
The design is a single blinded, dual comparative study of ultrasound versus micro-CT/LASCA in one study group. Up to a total of 140 subjects registered will be recruited. Subjects who are treatment planned for extraction of a hopeless tooth and socket augmentation with bone graft and are planned for a …
