Bilateral symmetry of radial pulse in high-level tennis players: implications for the validity of central aortic pulse wave analysis.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of the central aortic pressure wave from the noninvasive recording of the radial pulse with applanation tonometry has become a standard tool in the field of hypertension. It is not presently known whether recording the ... Read more...

Reference values for quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) of radius and tibia in healthy greek pediatric population: clinical correlations.

2 Jul 2009 The aim of this study was to provide reference standards for measurements of quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) of radius and tibia in normative Greek pediatric population. Analysis was performed in 1549 healthy subjects (814 girls and 735 boys) ... Read more...

Forearm and tibial bone measures of distance- and sprint-trained master cyclists.

27 Feb 2009 PURPOSE: Cycling is very popular; however, it is often believed to be associated with below average bone mass. This study compared bone measures of sprint- and distance-trained cyclists competing at World Master Track Championships, along with ... Read more...
