Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of bone disease using isomerized and racemized fragments of type I collagen.

TL;DR: The study suggests that in conditions with a localized alteration in bone turnover the ratio between aL CTX and the age-modified forms is significantly elevated, which may provide a new diagnostic and monitoring tool for diseases such as metastatic bone cancer and Paget's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Nonspecific" increases in plasma immunoreactive calcitonin in healthy individuals: discrimination from medullary thyroid carcinoma by a new extraction technique.

TL;DR: The occasional factor in plasma of healthy persons that interferes in assays for CT is eliminated by the silica extraction method, and in this way such cases can be distinguished from cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoporosis in Frail Patients: A Consensus Paper of the Belgian Bone Club

TL;DR: There is an urgent need to appreciate bone loss associated with anorexia nervosa, patients on dialysis, cancer patients, persons with sarcopenia, and the oldest old, as this may improve diagnosis and management of bone loss and fracture risk in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast Cancer Cells Release Factors That Induce Apoptosis in Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

TL;DR: FasLigand secreted by BCCs induces apoptosis and necrosis of human preosteoblastic stromal cells through caspase cascade modulated by the bax and bcl‐2 protein level, which may contribute to the inappropriately low osteoblast reaction and bone formation during tumor‐induced osteolysis in bone metastases.
