Materials and methods. conducted by Department Clinical Physiology Pathology Musculoskeletal System State Institution “D.F. Chebotarev Institute Gerontology National Academy Medical Sciences Ukraine”. It involved 342 healthy men aged 20 89 years without osteoporosis osteoporotic fractures or any pathology with a con...

Background: Trabecular bone score (TBS) measures the underlying quality of bone texture using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and TBS, and subsequently determine whether the association varies with the body mass index (BMI). Methods: Data from 548 patients were collected a...

BACKGROUND The assessment of bone age comprises the basic element of orthodontic diagnostics as it enables the recognition of deviations from normal growth, determines the choice of treatment, helps determine the appropriate moment to begin treatment, establish prognosis and plan a retention strategy. In order to make an assessment of skeletal maturity possible in a single examination, radiolog...

To enhance preventative and therapeutic strategies for metabolic bone diseases and bone fragility disorders, we began to explore the physical properties of bone tissue at the cellular level. Proximal femurs were harvested from 27 cadavera (16 male and 11 female) for in vitro measurement of the mechanical properties. We measured the variations in lamellar-level elastic modulus and hardness in hu...

Relevance. Anatomical and functional disorders in congenital clefts may be various. Their severity depends on the cleft size combination of a lip with an alveolar cleft. Alveolar bone grafting (ACBG) is one most important surgeries for patients palate rehabilitation. The study aimed to analyze results various age groups, summarizing available data supplementing them our own experience. Material...

Bones are calcified connective tissue forming the major portion of the skeleton of most vertebrates. There are about 206 bones in our body and contains more calcium. Bones begin to develop before birth. From the moment of birth until the time one has grown up, bones go through a set a characteristic changes. Therefore the skeletal maturity, or bone age, can be estimated from radiographs of spec...
