Context: Skeletal muscle is essential for proper bodily functions by playing key roles in strength and movement, and it accounts for roughly 50% of our total body mass. Decreases in total muscle mass or mass-specific function...

Context: This research may provide insight into human articular cartilage development, repair mechanisms, and diseases such as arthritis. Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the proximal femur articular cartilage...
30-60 min. Changes in SkBF spectral power in VLF and LF ranges from baseline to heating were determined using fast-Fourrier transform. Both groups increased spectral power within both the VLF and LF ranges. Compared to healthy...
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mineral density due to the rate of bone resorption exceeding that of bone formation. Substantial evidence indicates the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway promotes bone...
Osteoporosis is a disease that results from changes in bone mineral density (BMD). In the United States, over 10 million people have low BMD and have an increased risk for fractures, hospitalization and mortality. BMD is the...
Osteoporosis is a disease of decreased bone density that occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, thereby placing individuals at greater risk of fracture and disability. We previously reported that deletion of the...
Context: Patients with large staghorn calculi are commonly treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL access can be technically challenging and has potential to result in significant radiation exposure to both the...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify which texture analysis metrics calculated from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps from patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) provide quantifiable...
Context: In states of health, bone mass is sustained in a coordinated effort by osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. WNT signaling through low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5/6 (LRP5/LRP6) is one of the...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD), is a relatively rare but dangerous occurrence for athletes across the globe. Increasing attention has been drawn to the condition, especially for the likes of highly competitive athletes. Current...
There are limited data regarding the level of research experience and/or interest among osteopathic medical students despite a rapidly increasing enrollment and expansion of the number of osteopathic medical schools. A 2016...

There is a lack of data regarding real and perceived barriers to research participation among osteopathic medical students (OMS’s). We have previously addressed this open question by surveying incoming first-year OMS1’s and...
Phosphorus equilibrium in the body is regulated through uptake and release via the intestine, kidney and bone. These processes are coordinated through the activity and regulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23). FGF23 is...
70% at 2 weeks post-surgery (p>0.05). Stimulus- independent pain behavior was also evident in both vehicle and BMP-2 treated CSD animals as defined by asymmetric directed behaviors including flinching, licking, lifting, and...
BACKGROUND: With an aging world population, there is an increased risk of fracture and impaired fracture healing. Enhancement of angiogenesis is one potential mechanism for improved fracture healing. The question then becomes:...
Context: Prior studies have identified significant health benefits and socioeconomic barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption. Objective: This study describes characteristics and physiological outcomes relative to the fruit...
Introduction: It is well documented in the literature that Bitter Melon Extract (BME) inhibits the growth and proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. While the exact mechanism of this inhibition is unknown, it is possible...
