Prosthodontic Rehabilitation Of Hypophosphatasia With 13-Year Implant Follow-Up Open
Introduction: This case presents a 13-year follow-up of a patient with odontohypophosphatasia (odonto-HPP), the most prevalent form of hypophosphatasia (HPP), who underwent prosthodontics rehabilitation using dental implants. Odonto-HPP is…
Health-related quality-of-life, complications, and mortality rates after geriatric acetabular fracture, non-operative compared to operative management: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Objective: to compare the Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL) and functional outcomes, complications, and mortality rates between non-operative management (NOM) and operative management (OM) of geriatric acetabular fracture (GAF). Metho…
Efficiency and Accuracy of Computerized Adaptive Testing for the Oswestry Disability Index and Neck Disability Index Open
Background: This study aimed to determine the efficiency and accuracy of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) models of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Methods: The study involved simulation using retros…
Owner‐reported outcome measures in veterinary care for companion animal orthopedic patients: An international online survey of veterinarians' expectations and practices Open
Objective To report veterinarians' familiarity with and perceptions of owner/observer‐reported outcome measures (OROMs) and their applications in routine clinical practice. Study design Cross‐sectional online survey. Animals or sample popu…
The Accuracy of Wrist Skin Temperature in Detecting Ovulation Compared to Basal Body Temperature: Prospective Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy Study Open
Background As a daily point measurement, basal body temperature (BBT) might not be able to capture the temperature shift in the menstrual cycle because a single temperature measurement is present on the sliding scale of the circadian rhyth…

Chinese Women in Both the United States and Hong Kong Have Cortical Microstructural Advantages and More Trabecular Plates Compared With White Women Open
We cross‐sectionally compared racial differences in bone quality between Chinese women in the United States (US) and Hong Kong (HK) with white women. A total of 514 women were included. We measured bone geometry, mass, microstructure, and …
Sexual Dimorphism in Cortical and Trabecular Bone Microstructure Appears During Puberty in Chinese Children Open
Distal forearm fractures during growth are more common in males than females. Because metaphyseal cortical bone is formed by coalescence of trabeculae emerging from the periphery of the growth plate, we hypothesized that the later onset of…

Bone Mass, Microstructure, and Strength Can Discriminate Vertebral Fracture in Patients on Long-Term Steroid Treatment Open
Patients with GIOP and vertebral fracture have a significant reduction in total vBMD and cortical thinning independent of aBMD and FRAX. These changes may help identify high-risk patients in the subgroups currently considered to have low f…
Normative Standards for HRpQCT Parameters in Chinese Men and Women Open
Assessing bone architecture using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) has the potential to improve fracture risk assessment. The Normal Reference Study aimed to establish sex-specific reference centile curv…

Effect of Treat-to-target Strategies Aiming at Remission of Arterial Stiffness in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized Controlled Study Open
Objective. To determine the efficacy of 2 tight control treatment strategies aiming at Simplified Disease Activity Score (SDAI) remission (SDAI ≤ 3.3) compared to 28-joint count Disease Activity Score (DAS28) remission (DAS28 < 2.6) in the…
Underestimation of Risk of Carotid Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Cardiovascular Risk Scores in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis Open
Objective. To test the performances of established cardiovascular (CV) risk scores in discriminating subclinical atherosclerosis (SCA) in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Methods. These scores were calculated: Framingham risk score (FRS)…
Carotid plaque and bone density and microarchitecture in psoriatic arthritis: the correlation with soluble ST2 Open
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients have increased risk of both atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. Previous studies revealed that IL-33/ST2 axis may be related to both conditions; however, these associations were never evaluated in a single …
Improvement in muscle performance after one-year cessation of low-magnitude high-frequency vibration in community elderly. Open
The benefits of LMHFV for balancing ability, muscle strength and risk of falling in elderly were retained 1 year after cessation of LMHFV.
