    • A feasibility study on microwave imaging of bone for osteoporosis monitoring 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Crocco, Lorenzo; Wang, Mengchu; O'Halloran, Martin; González-Suárez, Ana; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (Springer, 2021-03-30)
      The dielectric properties of bones are found to be influenced by the demineralisation of bones. Therefore, microwave imaging (MWI) can be used to monitor in vivo dielectric properties of human bones and hence aid in the ...

    • Mechanisms of osteocyte stimulation in osteoporosis 

      Verbruggen, Stefaan W.; Vaughan, Ted J.; McNamara, Laoise M. (Elsevier, 2016-05-10)
      Experimental studies have shown that primary osteoporosis' caused by oestrogen deficiency results in localised alterations in bone tissue properties and mineral composition. Additionally, changes to the lacunar-canalicular ...

    • A three-scale finite element investigation into the effects of tissue mineralisation and lamellar organisation in human cortical and trabecular bone 

      Vaughan, Ted J.; McCarthy, Conor T.; McNamara, Laoise M. (Elsevier, 2012-03-20)
      Bone is an exceptional material that is lightweight for efficient movement but also exhibits excellent strength and stiffness imparted by a composite material of organic proteins and mineral crystals that are intricately ...

    • Utility of osteoporosis self-assessment tool as a screening tool for osteoporosis in Irish men and women: Results of the DXA-HIP project 

      Erjiang E.; Wang, Tingyan; Yang, Lan; Dempsey, Mary; Brennan, Attracta; Yu, Ming; Chan, Wing P.; Whelan, Bryan; Silke, Carmel; O'Sullivan, Miriam; Rooney, Bridie; McPartland, Aoife; O'Malley, Gráinne; Carey, John J. (Elsevier, 2021-03-03)
      Many algorithms have been developed and publicised over the past 2 decades for identifying those most likely to have osteoporosis or low BMD, or at increased risk of fragility fracture. The Osteoporosis Self-assessment ...

    • Vertebral fractures in Ireland: A sub-analysis of the DXA HIP project 

      Carey, John J.; Yang, Lan; Erjiang, E.; Wang, Tingyan; Gorham, Kelly; Egan, Rebecca; Brennan, Attracta; Dempsey, Mary; Armstrong, Catherine; Heaney, Fiona; McCabe, Eva; Yu, Ming (Springer, 2021-06-03)
      Osteoporosis is an important global health problem resulting in fragility fractures. The vertebrae are the commonest site of fracture resulting in extreme illness burden, and having the highest associated mortality. ...

    • Vertebral fractures in Ireland: A sub-analysis of the DXA HIP Project 

      Yang, Lan; Carey, John; Erjiang, E.; Wang, Tingyan; Gorham, Kelly; Egan, Rebecca; Brennan, Attracta; Dempsey, Mary; Armstrong, Catherine; Heaney, Fiona; Yu, Ming (Elsevier, 2021-04-30)
      The vertebrae are the commonest site of osteoporotic fracture osteoporosis, are associated with the highest mortality, and a huge illness burden. Some have questioned the value of screening for spine fractures, but studies ...
