TL;DR: It was concluded that frequent increases in BMD, influenced by beta-blockers, partly explain the minor mean changes during follow-up; however, about every 10th subject had a significant decrease.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that in healthy males, the cortical histomorphometric parameters differ between the anatomical regions of the subtrochanteric femoral shaft, and are correlated with the osteocytic parameters from the same site.

TL;DR: This is the first study presenting semiautomated segmentation of cartilage from CECT images of human knee joint with minimal user interaction and the results reveal that the proposed technique is fast and reliable for segmentationof cartilage.

TL;DR: Investigating changes in the finger blood pressure during a deep breathing test (DB) found that mean arterial pressure changes during a DB test might be used instead of systolic pressure changes in calculation of the ratio of changes in pulse interval to changes in blood pressure, which is considered to reflect baroreflex sensitivity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ultrasound arthroscopy could facilitate quantitative clinical appraisal of articular cartilage integrity in the shoulder joint and provide information on cartilage lesion depth and severity for quantitative diagnostics in surgery.
