Correlação entre valores de pixel de tomografia computadorizada e a intensidade do sinal proveniente da medula óssea da mandíbula adquiridos por meio da Ressonância Magnética

A análise por imagem das condições morfológicas do osso alveolar é essencial para o planejamento de tratamentos de diversas especialidades na odontologia. Porém, a maioria dos métodos de imagem utilizam radiação ionizante. Assim, a ressonância magnética (RM) ganha grande importância na pesqui...

Mandibular radiomorphometric assessment of bone mineral density in survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) childhood survivors of hematologic malignancies are prone to develop late osteopenia and osteoporosis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to quantitatively and qualitatively assess bone mineral density (BMD) in HSCT childhood survivors an...

Muscle strength training is better than the use of growth hormone (GH) in bone health of Wistar rats

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth hormone (GH) and muscle strength training (ST) on the composition of bone tissue of Wistar rats through Raman spectroscopy. In total, 40 male rats were randomly distributed into four groups: (N = 10) control (C), control with the ...

Effect of stem cells combined with a polymer/ceramic membrane on osteoporotic bone repair

Abstract Cell therapy associated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) can be used to treat bone defects under challenging conditions such as osteoporosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in combination with a poly(vinylidene-trifluoroethylene)/barium titanate (PVDF...

Milk consumption, dietary calcium intake and nutrient patterns from adolescence to early adulthood and its effect on bone mass: the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of milk consumption, dietary calcium intake and nutrient patterns (bone-friendly and unfriendly patterns) from late adolescence to early adulthood, on bone at 22 years of age. Cross-sectional analysis was performed with 3,109 participants from 1993 Pe...
