background: the extent of bone minerals density (bmd) gained during childhood is good index for bmd in adulthood. recent studies imply that exercise increases bmd however, there are rare studies about the best ages in which exercise gives the highest effect on children’s bmd. this study was carried out with the aim of comparing the extent of exercise effect on various ages on bmd of boys of ila...

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in Western countries and is projected to have a similar impact in the Middle East. It has been suggested that peak bone mineral density (BMD), a major determinant of osteoporotic fractures later in life, may be lower in this part of the world compared with the Western world. However, subjects have not been randomly selected or systematically screene...

OBJECTIVES The objective was to evaluate the effects of whole body vibration training on quadriceps strength, bone mineral density, and functional capacity in children with hemophilia. METHODS Thirty children with hemophilia with age ranging from 9 to 13 years were selected and randomly assigned to either the study group that received whole body vibration training (30-40 Hz, 2-4 mm of peak-to...

Knowledge of local bone quality is essential for surgeons to determine operation techniques. A device for intraoperative measurement of local bone quality has been developed by the AO-Research Foundation (Densi - Probe®). We used this device to experimentally measure peak breakaway torque of trabecular bone in the proximal femur and correlated this with local bone mineral density (BMD) and fail...

background: expansion of bone marrow cavity and decreased cortical and trabecular bone tissues and osteoporosis are resulted from beta-thalassemia. the aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density (bmd) in patients with β thalassemia major and intermedia, and to determine their biochemical and hormonal profiles that may affect bmd. materials and methods: in a cross sectional study from ...

aim :  the goal of the present study was to assess the effect of omeprazole on bone mineral density and frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis. background : the effect of omeprazole on bone turnover and the role of stomach ph alteration in calcium absorption have not been completely understood. patients and methods : in a case-control study, 58 patients who were referred to loghman hospital, ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of genistein, estradiol, estradiol/progesterone combination on the bone mineral density and biomechanical properties of ovariectomized rats' bone. METHODS 50 female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups. Bilaterally ovaeriectomy were performed in all groups except the sham-operated group. Groups were a sham-oper...

the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of 3-years of moderate multi-component exercise training on bone mineral density and bone mineral content in a female subject with osteoporosis. a 57-year-old postmenopausal woman, a known case of osteoporosis following an accident, participated in this study. bone mineral density and bone mineral content was measured in the femoral nec...
