The Effects of 12-months of Denosumab on Bone Density in Prevalent Kidney Transplant Recipients
This is a Phase 2 Multi-Center Clinical Trial (safety and effectiveness trial) in 60 patients (40 denosumab; 20 placebo) who have had a kidney transplant for 12-months or longer with more than 30% of kidney function. The investigators will test whether denosumab safely improves bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy …

Assessment of Vertebral Fracture Risk for First Time Liver Transplant Candidates
The Investigators hypothesize that VFA+ DXA is as effective in evaluation of asymptotic vertebral fractures compared to the current gold standard of spine x-ray. In addition, bone turnover markers in transplant patients are unknown. The investigators want to investigate bone turnover markers (Beta CTX and P1NP) as markers of bone …

Impact of the Rapid Normalization of Chronic Hyperglycemia and the Practice of Moderate Physical Activity on the "Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B Ligand / Osteoprot g rine (RANKL / OPG) System in Patients Living With Type II Diabetes
The rapid normalization of hyperglycemia can cause a neuropathy called Diabetes Treatment-Induced Neuropathy (NITD). This phenomenon induces the presence of hyper vascularization and inflammation in contact with the nerve ends. In another register in patients living with diabetes, it has been observed the development of a rare and devastating complication …

Androgen Deprivation Therapy on Bone Mineral Density Change in Prostate Cancer Patients
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a mainstay of prostate cancer treatment to improve overall survival for intermediate- and high-risk localized disease as well as metastatic disease. While ADT improves survival, it can cause significant morbidity and a decrement in quality of life. In particular, ADT is associated with decrease in …

Alendronate in an Weekly Effervescent Tablet Formulation Following Denosumab Discontinuation
Discontinuation of denosumab results in a rebound response of bone turnover markers, which rise above baseline at 3 months and remain elevated until reaching again baseline levels approximately 30 months after the last dose. Bone mineral density (BMD) gains are also lost and BMD values reach original baseline values after …

A Study on Vertebral Bone Strength by Micro-CT-Like Image
In this study, we use conditional generation adversarial network to enhance the resolution of MSCT images and obtain micro-CT-like images. Based on this, we measure the bone structure indexes of micro-CT-like images and analyzed the correlation between bone structure and bio-mechanical indexes.
