Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major health problem worldwide that affects the joints and causes severe disability. It is characterized by pain and low-grade inflammation. However, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown and the...
This study aimed to verify which of the different cutoff points of low muscle mass (LMM) based on appendicular lean mass (ALM) is associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (PMW).Cross-sectional study. PMW (n = 355)...
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the cervical spine is known as a rare, complex genetic disease, its complexity being partly because OPLL is diagnosed by radiological findings regardless of clinical...
Activation of modeling-based bone formation (MBF – bone formation without prior activation of bone resorption), has been identified as an important mechanism by which anabolic agents, such as intermittent parathyroid...
