The phrase "assessed by bone" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to refer to a method of evaluation related to bone, but without context, it is ambiguous and unclear.
Example: "The patient's condition was assessed by bone density measurements to determine the risk of osteoporosis."
Alternatives: "evaluated through bone analysis" or "measured using bone assessment".
The skeletal response was assessed by bone mineral density (BMD), osteopontin and osteocalcin measurements.
The increase in the enzyme activity is believed to be correlated with the increased intensity of collagen degradation This study aimed to evaluate serum prolidase activity and urinary deoxypyridinoline cross links in type 2 diabetic subjects with and without osteoporosis assessed by bone mineral density.
Despite the missing proof that progress as assessed by bone scintigraphy is correct, Imbriaco et al. introduced a method of measuring metastatic bone involvement in bone scintigraphy of prostate cancer the so-called bone scan index (BSI) [24] and could show that it features a high correlation with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and low intra- and inter-observer variability.
In vivo we found that epithelial- and leukocyte-associated functional TLR4 contribute in a similar proportion to renal dysfunction and injury as assessed by bone marrow chimeric mice.
This may be due to several factors including volume averaging of the small mouse trabeculae [37], [38] and sampling error, since only three bone slices (right, mid, and left sagittal planes/fermur) per femur were assessed by bone histomorphometry and bone loss in the metaphysis was expectedly inhomogeneous in the tumor model.
Disease activity assessed by SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) and BMD was assessed by bone densitometry using DEXA.
Cutaneous tolerance was clinically evaluated 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery with a physical examination of the retroauricular and external auditory canal (EAC) skin and the presence of otalgia; the inner ear tolerance was assessed by bone-conduction hearing threshold 1 day after surgery and by the presence of vertigo or imbalance.
Bone resorption, as assessed by both bone degradation products (CTX and NTX) and TRACP-5b values, was increased in patients with AL amyloidosis versus healthy controls (P<0.001 for all comparisons; Table 2; Figures 1a and c).
Finally, the differences between dynamic confined and non-confined tests were assessed by the bone marrow influence and the cancellous bone response to different boundary conditions.
In a recent study (Piert et al. 2001), kinetic F-fluoride PET was compared to bone formation rate in pigs as assessed by invasive bone histomorphometry, and a significant correlation was found.
The performance was qualitatively and semi-quantitatively assessed by analyzing bone neoformation, osteointegration and osteoconduction, osteoblastic and osteoclastic/giant cells, bone remodelling and neovessels.
