TL;DR: Protein modeling predicts destabilization of the GS domain, consistent with constitutive activation of ACVR1 as the underlying cause of the ectopic chondrogenesis, osteogenesis and joint fusions seen in FOP.
Journal ArticleDOI
The estimation of two collagens from human dermis by interrupted gel electrophoresis
TL;DR: This paper describes the comparative behaviour of two human soft tissue collagens on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and describes how this has been applied to the rapid estimation of the relative proportions of the twoCollagens in a range of human skin samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoporosis of pregnancy.
TL;DR: Eight women with pregnancy-associated osteoporosis were studied for up to ten years and it is suggested that in these patients there may have been a transient failure of the usual changes in calciotropic hormones to prepare the maternal skeleton for the stress of childbirth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diphosphonates and paget's disease of bone
TL;DR: The diphosphonate, CH 3 C(OH)(PO 3 HNa) 2 (disodium etidronate), has been given at a daily oral dose of 20 mg. per kg. body-weight to 4 patients with biochemically active Paget's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pregnancy-associated osteoporosis: does the skeleton recover?
TL;DR: It is concluded that a reversible part of the bone loss is related to the pregnancy itself and knowledge that the bone density increases after an affected pregnancy, combined with the known rarity of recurrent symptoms in subsequent pregnancies, is important in prognosis.
