Generation and Validation of Normative, Age-Specific Reference Curves for Bone Strain Index in Women Open
Bone Strain Index (BSI), based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), is a densitometric index of bone strength of the femur and lumbar spine. Higher BSI values indicate a higher strain applied to bone, predisposing to higher fracture …

Assessment of DXA derived bone quality indexes and bone geometry parameters in early breast cancer patients: A single center cross-sectional study Open
Bone geometry parameters are variably associated with VFs in EBC patients, either AI-naive or AI treated in combination with denosumab. These data suggest a tailored choice of fracture risk parameters in the 3 subgroups of EBC patients.

A single-centre study on predictors and determinants of pubertal delay and growth impairment in Epidermolysis Bullosa Open
Background Delayed puberty is a possible complication of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), though the actual incidence is still unknown. In chronic illnesses delayed puberty should be correctly managed since, if untreated, can have detrimental e…

Beyond bone mineral density: new developments in dual X-ray absorptiometry assessment of bone quality Open
Bone mineral density, bone texture, bone geometry and bone strength are all elements necessary for a proper osteoporotic fragility fracture prediction assessment. Data regarding bone quantity (density) and, in part, bone quality (structure…

Spine Bone Texture Assessed by Trabecular Bone Score in Active and Controlled Acromegaly: A Prospective Study Open
Context Acromegalic patients have an increased vertebral fracture (VFx) risk due to bone quality reduction, independently of bone mineral density (BMD). Objective The aim of the study is to describe bone quality in acromegaly, measured by …
