Nutritional status assessment in anorexia nervosa (AN) includes the evaluation and monitoring of body composition throughout the treatment period. The gold standard for the study of body composition is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), although electrical bioimpedance (BIA) is a more accessible, cheaper and faster method that does not involv...
The objective was to develop a reference database for body composition of pediatric subjects in the province of Mendoza (Argentina). Data on 14 body composition variables (bone mineral density and composition; lean and soft mass; lean and body mass index, among others) were obtained from 198 subjects (96 women) aged 4 to 19 years. Subjects were cla...

This updated version of the Spanish Society for Research in Osteoporosis and Mineral Metabolism (SEIOMM) osteoporosis guides incorporate the most relevant information published in the last 7 years, since the 2015 guides, with imaging studies, such as vertebral fracture assessment and bone trabecular score analysis. In addition, therapeutic advances...

The loss of bone mass, as a consequence of bone remodelling, in the proximal third of the femur, is a factor that contributes to the failure of hip prostheses in the medium to long term. This periprosthetic remodelling occurs mainly during the first 12 months after the operation. The aim is to evaluate the behaviour at one year of a new anatomical ...

The aim of this study is to compare the bone density around the otic capsule in otosclerotic patients with a control group, and find the cut-off values of bone density from which we can diagnose the disease. A retrospective case-control study was performed. Bone densities in Hounsfield units (HU) from 28 otosclerotic ears were compared to the densi...

In 1994, the World Health Organisation established osteoporosis criteria based on bone mineral density (in terms of T-Score), granting a risk factor the category of disease. Given that it has a low positive predictive value of fractures when applied to low-risk populations, its use as a screening test is controversial because it favours overdiagnos...

To determine whether vitrectomised eyes have a higher lens optical density, when measured with a Scheimpflug camera, compared to non-vitrectomised eyes. The peak and linear Scheimpflug optical density (DOS), and area of both eyes were measured in a sample size of 81 vitrectomised phakic patients. A comparison was made between the DOS of the vitrect...
