Another problem arising from the change in the alignment is spondylolisthesis – slippage of one vertebrae (bone in the spine) over the other. It can slip in the front or back – slippage of ...

Strontium ranelate increased bone mineral density at month 36 by 14.4 percent at the lumbar spine and 8.3 percent at the femoral neck (P<0.001 for both comparisons).

Using bone-like "organoids" made from vertebral stem cells, they showed that the known tendency of tumors to spread to the spine - more than to long bones such as leg bones - is due largely to a ...

The vertebral bones that form the spine are derived from a distinct type of stem cell that secretes a protein favoring tumor metastases, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell ...

There were significant differences between the two groups in the mean changes in bone mineral density at 48 weeks in the lumbar spine (P<0.001), trochanter (P=0.003), total hip (P=0.005), and ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: The results for my last bone density test show not only a T-score but also a Z-score. For my spine (L1 through L4), the T-score is -3.4, while the Z-score is -1.4. Can you please ...

Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine (LS) was measured in 201 singleton infants with birth weights from 1152 to 3970 g and gestational ages from 27 to 42 wk. All infants were ...
