prevalent in both women and men. Established therapies for treating this disorder consist …

There is growing interest in the use of mesenchymal stem cells for bone repair. As a major
reason for normal bone remodeling is the removal of fatigue microcracks, advances in our …

Background and Purpose—Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging
(PWI) are relatively new MR techniques increasingly used in acute stroke. During the first …

The aim of this study was to compare radiation exposure in panoramic radiography (PR),
dental CT, and digital volume tomography (DVT). An anthropomorphic Alderson-Rando …

Sclerostin is a potent inhibitor of Wnt signaling and bone formation. However, there is currently
no information on the relation of circulating sclerostin levels to age, gender, or bone mass …

Objective Laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) using a neodymium: yttrium aluminum
garnet (Nd: YAG) laser is a new therapeutic approach in the treatment of brain tumors. …

Context: Intermittent PTH treatment stimulates bone formation, but the mechanism(s) of this
effect remain unclear. Sclerostin is an inhibitor of Wnt signaling, and animal studies have …

Sex steroids are important regulators of bone turnover, but the mechanisms of their effects
on bone remain unclear. Sclerostin is an inhibitor of Wnt signaling, and circulating estrogen (E…

Plastic adherent bone marrow stromal cells have become synonymous with skeletal stem
cells, and perhaps rightfully so, as these cells have been extremely well characterized over the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess patient radiation exposure in comprehensive
stroke imaging using multidetector row CT (MDCT) combining standard CT of the head, …
