Sentence examples for propensity to fracture from inspiring English sources

These data suggest that perturbations in bone formation surface, relative to resorption surface, are potentially important in producing bone in the proximal femur with increased propensity to fracture.

It is found that the pure CO2 and the post-combustion pipelines exhibit very similar and highly temperature dependent propensity to fracture propagation.

A quantitative approach is proposed to relate the propensity to fracture anisotropy to a simple microscopic parameter characterizing the degree of anisotropy in the spatial distribution of second phase particles.

The application of the model to an hypothetical but realistic CO2 pipeline reveals the profound effects of the line temperature and the types of impurities present in the CO2 stream on the pipeline's propensity to fracture propagation.

The problem is that the same properties that give metallic glasses their strength also contribute to their propensity to fracture.

OBJECTIVES: Diminished bone density and a propensity to fracture with minimal trauma are common in children and adolescents with moderate to severe cerebral palsy (CP).

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the skeleton, characterized by the deterioration of the bones' macro and microstructures that leads to a loss in bone mass and the reduction in the bones' resistance increasing propensity to bone fracture [ 1].

A wide range of immunologic defects can result and there may be a generalized skeletal fragility, in addition to a recognized tendency to accidental injury, resulting a propensity to bone fractures.

A number of factors have been found to be associated with fragility fractures, they include advanced age, positive family history, height, existing fracture, propensity to falls, and postural instability [ 5- 7].

There are androgen receptors on bone cells, and androgen deficiency-induced loss of muscle mass likely leads to decreased lower body strength and increased propensity to falling and thus more fractures.

However, a subset of patients aged 80 or older with at least one non-skeletal risk factor for hip fracture (poor gait or propensity to fall) was also examined and no significant difference was found in fracture rate between risedronate and placebo (McClung et al 2001).
