Sickle cell bone disease and response to intravenous bisphosphonates in children
ConclusionChildren with SCD have the potential for extensive and early-onset bone morbidity. In this series, IV bisphosphonates were effective for bone pain analgesia and did not trigger sickle cell complications.

The Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Cardiovascular Function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In this study, we explored the relationship between BMD and cardiovascular health, and observed no association between BMD and LVEF. The primary results were in the opposite direction than the hypothesized direction, with the model beta coefficient for BMD indicating a negative relationship with LVEF; however, the size of the effect BMD had on LVEF was very small and not statistically significant. The secondary linear regression analyses provided consistent results with the primary linear regression, indicating that the primary results are sensitive to a variety of slightly modified conditions. It is possible that the nul...

Effects of weight training time on bone mineral density of patients with secondary osteoporosis after hemiplegia.
In conclusion, in order to stimulate BMD and reverse osteoporosis in patients with secondary osteoporosis after hemiplegia, daily weight training for minimum 60 and 90 min was needed for males and females, respectively. PMID: 28450926 [PubMed - in process]

Correlation between tibial measurements using peripheral quantitative computed tomography and hip areal bone density measurements in ambulatory chronic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the good correlations between tibial pQCT variables and hip aBMD, the clinical use of pQCT in assessing bone health in this population should be further pursued. PMID: 26647174 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Chronic effects of stroke on hip bone density and tibial morphology: a longitudinal study
Conclusions There is evidence of continuous trabecular bone loss in the paretic tibial distal epiphysis among chronic stroke patients, but it tends to plateau after 2 years of stroke onset. The steady state may have been reached earlier in the hip and tibial diaphysis.

Predictors of low bone mineral density of the stroke-affected hip among ambulatory individuals with chronic stroke
Conclusion Low BMD of the stroke-affected side hip is prevalent in over a third of individuals with lower limb motor impairments. These individuals may be at particular risk of accelerated loss of BMD at the hip from asymmetrical gait pattern and poor affected-side ankle dorsiflexor strength. These impairments are intervention targets that may be addressed during rehabilitation which includes resistance training and addresses gait impairments.
