Radiology Case Reports
Periapical cemental dysplasia (PCD) is considered a non-neoplastic proliferation of fibrous tissues and cementum-like hard tissues, usually occurring in the periapical regions of teeth. PCD is characterized by the presence of vital pulp and is often accidentally discovered during a general radiographic survey. PCD may arise from the tissue of odont...

Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are therapeutic alternatives to warfarin that act independently of vitamin K, thus not affecting bone matrix formation. The aim of this study was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture in patients treated with DOACs versus warfarin. Cross-sectional, observational study in patients using...

An epidemiological study was conducted in North-East India (part of Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot) to better understand the distribution, diversity, and transmission of Clostridium perfringens among livestock, pets, wild animals (captive), and humans. A total of 160 C. perfringens isolates were recovered from 642 diarrhoeic faecal samples with an...

Densitometry (Siri's and Brožek's equations), hydrometry (by the deuterium dilution technique), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are three methods for estimating body composition. However, because they are all based on certain assumptions, they may not be applicable to aged and obese subjects due to changes in their body composition. Henc...

IntroductionChildhood obesity is a public health problem with repercussions in later life. As tissue formation peaks in childhood we determined how weight status influences bone mineral content.Material and methodsWe studied 553 children aged 4–18 years over 10 years (46.8% girls). We measured age, weight, height and through bone densitometry (DXA)...

BackgroundBody mass-independent parameters might be more appropriate for assessing cardiometabolic abnormalities than weight-dependent indices in Asians who have relatively high visceral adiposity but low body fat. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured trunk-to-peripheral fat ratio is one such body mass-independent index. However, there a...

To present the ballistic gelatin as a new material capable of simulating the soft tissues in cone-beam CT (CBCT) images. CBCT images of three piglet heads were acquired with their soft tissues intact (standard group). Subsequently, the piglet heads were fixed in a container using metallic pins and moulded with acrylic resin; the soft tissues were t...

Background Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has evolved from pencil-beam (PB) to narrow fan-beam (FB) densitometers. We performed a meta-analysis of the available observational studies to determine how different modes of DXA affect bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. Methods A total of 1,233 patients (808 women) from 14 cohort studies we...
