[Poor bone quality in diabetes and arterioscelerosis]

30 Aug 2009 Type 1 and 2 diabetes deteriorate bone quality in terms of collagen cross-links formation in bone, Recently, we demonstrate that hyperhomocysteinemia also resulted in collagen cross-link abnormalities in bone (Saito M, Osteoporos Int, 2009 in press) ... Read more...

Untreated HIV infection and large and small artery elasticity.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Untreated HIV infection may increase risk for cardiovascular disease, and arterial elasticity is a marker of cardiovascular risk and early disease. METHODS: HIV-infected participants not taking antiretroviral therapy (n=32) were compared ... Read more...

Single versus dual renal transplantation from donors with significant arteriosclerosis on pre-implant biopsy.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Transplantation of kidneys from donor with arteriosclerosis seen on pre-implantation biopsy has not been well studied. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 20 dual kidney transplant (DKT) and 28 single (SKT) kidney transplant recipients ... Read more...
