The efficacy of monophosphonate dimephosphon and diphosphonate xydiphon was compared by experiments in rats with an osteoporosis model induced by the chronic administration of prednisolone. The glucocorticosteroid decreased the total density of trabecules (in both bone and cartilage tissues) in histological micropreparations of lumbar vertebrae and reduced the total bone cell count and the calcium content in the bone tissue. Dimephosphon, administered on the prednisolone background over the same period of time, normalized the total relative density of trabecules (by increasing the cartilage content), the total bone cell count, and the calcium content. Under the same conditions, xydiphone normalized the total relative density of trabecules (by increasing the bone content), but did not influence the prednisolone-decreased content of cartilage, total cell count, and calcium content in the vertebrae. Thus, the test results reveal a significant advantage of dimephosphon over xydiphone.

Objective: To investigate if changes in body mass index (BMI) result in changes of the mandibular trabecular bone structure.
Materials And Methods: Females (18-35 years at baseline, mean BMI 42,3) were followed from before (n = 117) until two years (n = 66) after obesity treatment (medical or surgical). The mandibular bone trabeculation was classified as sparse, dense, or mixed on intraoral radiographs (Lindh's index).

Introduction: Statistical shape analysis (SSA) with clustering is often used to objectively define and categorise anatomical shape variations. However, studies until now have often focused on simplified anatomical reconstructions, despite the complexity of studied anatomies. This work aims to provide insights on the anatomical detail preservation required for SSA of highly diverse and complex anatomies, with particular focus on the left atrial appendage (LAA).

Introduction: Monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis (OA) is the most commonly used rodent model for testing anti-OA drug candidates. Herein, we investigated the effects of our patented multitarget drug candidate SZV-1287 (3-(4,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl) propanal oxime) that is currently under clinical development for neuropathic pain and characterized the mouse model through complex functional, imaging, and morphological techniques.
Methods: Knee OA was induced by intraarticular MIA injection (0.

Aim: Cone beam computed tomography has become an attractive method for implant planning. However, in most cases, not all the information is taken advantage of and often the radiographic evaluation of bone quality is based on subjective assessment by the individual clinician. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine classifications of bone tissue characteristics and methods for assessing them in dental implant planning and placement studies.
