Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) in Osteoporosis Risk: Gene Polymorphism and Soluble RANKL Level in Indonesia Post-Menopausal WomenLuluk Yunaini, Dwi Anita Suryandari, Linda Kusdhany et al.Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women may increase osteoclastogenesis that can lead to increased risk of osteoporosis. Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) have an important role in osteoclastogenesis that involve in the regulation of bone resorption. In this study, we analyzed the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) within the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,180 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Bone Properties due to Skeletal Diseases on Stability of Cementless Hip StemsMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: There are two types of implant fixation in hip joint replacement-cemented and cementless. The cemented types are, in general, more popular due to concerns of possible inability of cementless implants achieving maximum primary stability for bone integration. The concern is more significant in cases where there are major losses of cancellous bone stock and thinning of the trabeculae … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,169 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtracting the Potential Features of Digital Panoramic Radiograph Images by Combining Radio Morphometry Index, Texture Analysis, and Morphological FeaturesEnny Itje Sela, SutarmanOsteoporosis is a type of disease that is not easily detected visually. It contributes to bone fracture and so early diagnosis is particularly important to prevent bone fracture. An integrated approach for extraction of cortical and trabecular bone on the digital panoramic radiograph (DPR) images was proposed to screen osteoporosis. We performed radio morphometry index (RMI), texture analysis, and morphology … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Dec 2017 · 8,026 accessesView PDF Cite
