, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis are highly prevalent among stroke patients. The adverse effects of vitamin D deficiency on bone metabolism seem to be aggravated by immobilization of paretic extremities. ...
Serum Uric Acid Level Is Positively Associated With Higher Bone Mineral Density at Multiple Skeletal Sites Among Healthy Qataris
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Background: Oxidative stress has been implicated as a fundamental mechanism in the decline of bone mass. Although serum uric acid (SUA) has potent antioxidant properties, the findings of many epidemiological and experimental ...
A Whole-Genome Sequencing Association Study of Low Bone Mineral Density Identifies New Susceptibility Loci in the Phase I Qatar Biobank Cohort.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Bone density disorders are characterized by a reduction in bone mass density and strength, which lead to an increase in the susceptibility to sudden and unexpected fractures. Despite the serious consequences of low bone ...

(
Springer London
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Objectives: The aim of this research was to examine the degree and types of physical activity (heavy physical activity, medium heavy and light physical activity) in female patients with lower bone mineral density compared ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
Composition and characteristics of trabecular bone in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Background
Bone strength depends on multiple factors such as bone density, architecture and composition turnover. However, the role these factors play in osteoporotic fractures is not well understood.
Purpose
The aim ...
Can Polymorphisms in NLRP3 Inflammasome Complex Be Associated with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Severity?
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The immune system plays a critical role in bone homeostasis and, consequently, in the pathophysiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) since estrogen deficiency induces the inflammasome and increases production of ...
