    No difference was observed in fracture rates between groups (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.9-1.3). The protective effect of tamoxifen was not statistically significant (HR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.6-1.2). CONCLUSION: Long-term survivors of early-stage breast cancer diagn...

    BMD obtained by DXA at the lumbar spine and radius was significantly higher in hip OA patients than in controls. However, at the calcaneus, no significant differences were observed between the groups in BMD obtained by DXA. SOS, BUA, and stiffness index obtained by QUS were significantly lower in th...

    The mechanism of formation of an os odontoideum is controversial and likely multifactorial. One theory states that the apex of the odontoid separates from the body because of a fracture. The intact alar and apical ligaments pull the fractured segment superiorly. The independent vascular supply of th...
