TL;DR: Daily vitamin D and calcium supplementation have a positive effect on the skeleton in ambulatory postmenopausal women with adequate nutritional calcium intake.

TL;DR: The indentation analysis showed that the repair tissue stiffness could, in some cases, reach the same level as the adjacent cartilage, but there was a large variation among the grafts.

TL;DR: Investigation of the ability of quantitative ultrasound pulse-echo imaging, conducted over a broad range of frequencies, to predict the mechanics, composition and microstructure of trabecular bone finds useful information for optimizing the use of pulse- echo measurements, and further emphasizes the diagnostic potential of the ultrasound backscatter measurements of trablityular bone.

TL;DR: The non-linear cartilage response to release and sinusoidal displacements therefore appear to be physiologically interesting and compressive stress observed during release may be a beneficial adaptation to repeated loading where temporal variations in tissue stresses would be minimized.

TL;DR: The results suggest that statin use does not protect from early postmenopausal bone loss and Randomized trials are needed to confirm these results.
