Dynamic and cellular histomorphometry of trabeculae is the most biologically relevant way of assessing steady state bone health. Traditional measurement involves manual visual feature identification by a trained and qualified professional. Inherent with this methodology is the time and cost expenditure, as well as the subjectivity that naturally arises under human visual inspection. In this wor...

Histomorphometry or quantitative histology is the analysis on histologic sections of bone resorption parameters, formation and structure. It is the only technique that allows a dynamic evaluation of the activity of bone modelling after labelling with tetracycline. Moreover, the new measurement procedures through the use of the computer allow an assessment of bone microarchitecture too. Histomor...

Histomorphometric analysis was performed on transiliac undecalcified bone biopsies taken from eight adults and four children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Double tetracycline labelling done before the biopsy allowed measurement of the calcification rate in 11 patients. The adults, as well as the children, had thin iliac cortices and considerably decreased trabecular bone volume. In addition, th...

Increased risks of skeletal fractures are common in patients with impaired glucose handling and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The pathogenesis fragility these remains ill-defined as present normal to high bone mineral density. With increasing cases intolerance T2DM it is imperative that we develop an accurate rodent model for further investigation. We hypothesized a fat diet (60%) administer...

In the present study, pancreas glands in Mehraban breed of female sheep were histomorphometricallystudied in four different age groups included: fetus, newborn, sexually mature and old ages. The results ofhistomorphometrical analysis with regard to frequency and percentage of parenchymal and stromal structures such as, exocrine secretory units, secretory ducts, blood vessels, islets of Langerha...
