From the study of the architectural features of the system connecting the neck to the femoral diaphysis on pelvic radio-grams, osteoporosis can be classified into seven stages (7 to 1) of increasing severity. It is thus possible to estimate the risk of fracture, the latter being over 50 per cent from stage 4 onward. The cortex-diaphysis relationship (RCD) follows a parallel course but is less reliable. The investigation of a control group of 20 subjects and 37 patients with osteoporosis, aged 50 to over 80, shows the value of this method, with which it is moreover possible to check the evolution of the disease and the effects of treatment.

Background: Trichoscopy is a simple, noninvasive tool to help in the diagnosis of various hair and scalp disorders. There is paucity of data on the normal trichoscopic parameters of hair density and diameter in the Indian population.
Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the trichoscopic patterns of hair and scalp in healthy Indian males and to provide a framework for future reference.

Introdution: Although oral and dental diseases may occur in unexpected or even emergency conditions, but some of the diagnosis and treatments can be algorithmically done following some guidelines. The development and implementation of a system that provides users with a record of history and a proposal of required actions can be not only efficiently practical, but also virtually simple.
Materials And Method: A system made up of web and mobile apps is proposed and evaluated for screening and self-care of oral and dental problems and for providing advice on dental emergencies and therapeutic measures.

Developing scaffolds supporting functional cell attachment and tissue growth is critical in basic cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine approaches. Though poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and its derivatives are attractive for hydrogels and scaffold fabrication, they often require bioactive modifications due to their bioinert nature. In this work, biomimetic synthesized conductive polypyrrole-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) copolymer doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PPy-PEDOT:PSS) was used as a biocompatible coating for poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel to support neuronal and muscle cells' attachment, activity, and differentiation.

During randomized controlled trials, it is critical to remain vigilant in safety monitoring. A common approach is to present information over time, such as frequency tables and graphs, when analyzing adverse events. Nevertheless, there is still a need for developing statistical methods for analyzing safety data of a dynamic nature.
