Why Study the Bone Microstructure of Fossil Tetrapods?
Evans, D. C., Barrett, P. M., Brink, K. S. & Carrano, M. T. Osteology and bone microstructure of new, small theropod dinosaur material from the early Late Cretaceous of Morocco.
Mechanical loading by both weight bearing (SCI + PS) and muscle contraction (SCI + ES) improved the bone microstructure of the osteopenic bones, whereas the changes were greater following PS.
We have reported in vivo evaluation of the bone microstructure of the greater tuberosity of the humeral head in patients with rotator cuff tears.
Our results demonstrate the effect of Se on bone microstructure of rats; however, possible extrapolation of the results to humans may be an interesting topic for discussion.
The primary objective of the study is to explain the real relationship between OA and OP populations via differences between bone microstructure of these two diseases.
The primary objective of the study is to explain the actual relationship between OA and OP based on differences between bone microstructure of these two diseases.
In this study, we used multidetector row computed tomography to successfully perform in vivo evaluation of the bone microstructure of the humeral greater tuberosity in patients with rotator cuff tears.
Here, we hypothesized that bone microstructure of the humerus could be measured in vivo using multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), because MDCT is a new technique that has a substantially higher spatial resolution than standard spiral CT and thus promises to improve the assessment of trabecular bone microstructure [ 17].
Taken together, our results indicate that CT treatment inhibits ASDD in OVX rats, with the underlying mechanism possibly being associated with regulation of the expression of aggrecan, Col-II, Col-I, MMP-13, and ADAMTS-4, and, conversely, preservation of BMD and trabecular bone microstructure of the adjacent vertebrae.
