Sexual Dimorphism in Cortical and Trabecular Bone Microstructure Appears During Puberty in Chinese Children.
...Published in Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research
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 puberty in males produces a longer delay in trabecular bone formation and coalescence, which leaves a transien...

Healthy brain ageing assessed with 18F-FDG PET and age-dependent recovery factors after partial volume effect correction...
Context and purpose: The mechanisms of ageing of the healthy brain are not entirely clarified to date. In recent years several authors have tried to elucidate this topic by using F-18-FDG positron emission tomography. However, when correcting for partial volume effects (PVE), divergent results were reported. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate t...
