The Prevalence of MRI-Defined Sacroiliitis and Classification of Spondyloarthritis in Patients with Acute Anterior Uveitis: A Longitudinal Single-Centre Cohort Study.

Background: Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is a relatively common extra-musculoskeletal manifestation of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA); however, data on the prevalence of active sacroiliitis in patients with AAU are limited.

Methods: 102 patients with AAU and 39 healthy subjects (HS) underwent clinical assessment and sacroiliac joint MRI. Patients with absence of active sacroiliitis were reassessed after two years.

Loss of bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in elderly hemodialysis patients: a 2-year follow-up, prospective, single-centre study.

Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) are established risk factors for fractures even in hemodialysis population and they seem to be significantly lower in comparison with general population. The aim of our study was to describe 2-year loss of BMD and TBS and their predictors in hemodialysis patients.

Methods: From 59 non-selected patients (mean age 67.

Real-world Management of Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Treated with Denosumab: A Prospective Observational Study in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of fracture. In randomized controlled trials, denosumab has been shown to significantly reduce the fracture risk in women with osteoporosis. However, little is known about the real-world management of women who are prescribed denosumab.

Predictors of bone fractures in a single-centre cohort of hemodialysis patients: a 2-year follow-up study.

Purpose: Bone involvement represents one of the complications of end-stage chronic kidney disease, with fractures being its major risk. The aim of our study was to assess the frequency and predictors of low-trauma fractures in a cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients followed-up on for 2 years.

Methods: 59 patients (67.

Hormonal and bone parameters in pubertal girls.

Here we analyzed associations between muscles mass, total bone mineral content (BMC), lumbar spine bone density (BMD L1-L4) and serum or urine hormones in healthy peripubertal girls. Total BMC and areal BMD L1-L4, muscle mass and fat were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Muscle force (N) was estimated by a dynamometer.
