Assessment of osteoporosis-associated fracture risk during clinical routine is based on the evaluation of clinical risk factors and T-scores, as derived from measurements of areal bone mineral density (aBMD). However, these parameters are limited in...

To investigate whether finite element (FE) analysis of the spine in routine thoracic/abdominal multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) can predict incidental osteoporotic fractures at vertebral-specific level; Baseline routine thoracic/abdominal MD...

Identifying vertebral fractures is prudent in the management of osteoporosis and the current literature suggests that less than one-third of incidental vertebral fractures are reported. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of reported...

Background/Objectives: To assess the risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients with rheumatic diseases (RDs), we introduced a new approach for predicting incident osteoporotic fractures (OF), employing a risk-weight calculation for each candidate ri...

Purpose: We investigated loco-regional degenerative changes’ association with incidentally found non-traumatic vertebral body fractures of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine in older patients. Methods: The patient collective included patients...

Background/Objectives: The objective of this study was to clinically validate the performance of the Nanox.AI HealthOST software in detecting incidental vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) on outpatient chest and abdomen CT scans using sensitivity...

Background: Teriparatide (TPT) acts against severe primary (postmenopausal) osteoporosis (MOP), and it requires continuation with another anti-resorptive drug to conserve or enhance the effects on fracture risk reduction. Objective: To analyse the se...

Opportunistic osteoporosis screening using multidetector CT-scans (MDCT) and convolutional neural network (CNN)-derived segmentations of the spine to generate volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) bears the potential to improve incidental osteoporot...

Background and Objectives: We investigated whether nutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphoycte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) are associated with the presence of osteoporosis (OP) and vertebral fractures in patien...

Normocytic anaemia is caused either by hypoproliferation of haemopoietic tissue or increased destruction of red cells. Osteope­trosis is a rare cause of anaemia. Infantile osteopetrosis (also called malignant osteopetrosis) is diagnosed early in life...

Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate incidental findings in the mandible after the placement of dental implants using a new cone–beam computed tomography (CBCT) software. Methods: The initial sample consisted of 2872 CBC...

Background/Objectives: Benign bone tumors and tumor-like conditions are commonly encountered in the pediatric population, often discovered incidentally during radiographic evaluation or presenting with symptoms such as pain, swelling, or pathologic f...

Thyroid hormones are essential for normal skeletal development and normal bone metabolism in adults but can have detrimental effects on bone structures in states of thyroid dysfunction. Untreated severe hyperthyroidism influences the degree of bone m...

Vertebral hemangiomas of the spine are rare benign tumors. They occur primarily in the thoracic region and are often asymptomatic and found incidentally on radiological examination; however, some are symptomatic, aggressive, and gradually increase in...

The Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) inhabits the entire northern hemisphere. In northern Europe, the flyway population reaches from the southern Wadden Sea to the northern Baltic coast. The European population is classified as endangered due to d...

Our aim is to analyse the bone profile in adults with (non-functioning) adrenal incidentalomas (AIs), specifically addressing the impact of autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS). This narrative review, based on a PubMed search from inception to Februar...

Objectives: This study aimed to provide reliable information on the impact of low-dose glucocorticoids (GCs) on the bone mineral density (BMD) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 933 patients with RA...

Background: Calcaneal fracture fixation can generate severe postoperative pain and analgesia can be supported by a sciatic nerve block. However, following resolution of the sensory blockade, rebound pain may ensue. The aim of this study was to assess...

Background and Clinical Significance: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an effective procedure for patients with osteoporosis and fractures. However, notable side effects may occur. Cement leakage into the vascular system may be incidental, with effects...

Simple bone cysts (SBCs) and intraosseous lipoma (IOL) of the calcaneus are rare tumor entities that are primarily diagnosed due to unspecific heel pain, incidental findings, or rarely due to pathological fractures. Compared to traditional open tumor...
