La osteoporosis se caracteriza por una masa ósea baja con deterioro de la microarquitectura del
tejido que conduce a la fragilidad, lo que aumenta el riesgo de fracturas.
Después de la menopausia, la deficiencia de estrógenos aumenta la exposición del tejido al ligan-
do RANK, lo que resulta en un au...

Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5Is) exert positive effects on bone healing and mineralization by activation the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate/protein kinase-G (NO/cGMP/PKG) signaling pathway. In this study, the effects of zaprinast and avanafil, two PDE-5Is, on the NO signaling pathway...
Introduction. Diabetes is a chronic disease associated with important comorbidities. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with a three times increased risk of hip fracture but reports describing potential associations with vertebral fractures (VF) are contradictory. Our objective was to evaluate the fact...
Abstract Introduction: Age-related hearing impairment is the most common sensory dysfunction in older adults. In osteoporosis, the mass of the ossicles will be decreased, affecting the bone density of the cochlea, and interfering with the sound transmission to the cochlea. Age related hearing loss might...
Abstract Introduction Subjective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a form of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in which during the diagnostic positional maneuvers patients only present vertigo symptoms with no nystagmus. Objective To study the characteristics of subjects with subjective benign...
Introdución: la osteoporosis juvenil idiopática (OJI) es el término descriptivo aplicado a la osteoporosis de etiología desconocida en la edad pediátrica. Se caracteriza por la pérdida progresiva de la masa ósea y el deterioro de su microarquitectura, lo que lleva al aumento de la fragilidad ósea...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) combined with osteoporosis. METHODS: Eighty patients with LSS combined with osteoporosis were divided into a control and PTED group, whi...
