Trabecular bone score (TBS) is associated with sub-clinical vertebral fractures in HIV-infected patients

Fragility fractures risk is increased among HIV infected patients. Bone microstructure alterations, in addition to bone mineral density (BMD) reduction, might be responsible for the increased risk. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vertebral fractures (VFs) and their association with trabecular bone score (TBS), an indirect index of bone microstructure, in a cohort of HIV-infected subjects.

Long-term effect of testosterone replacement therapy on bone in hypogonadal men with Klinefelter syndrome

Purpose: To assess different aspects of bone damage in untreated adult patients with Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) before and during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Methods: Fifteen untreated hypogonadal men with KS and 26 control subjects (C) matched for age and BMI were recruited. Sex hormone levels were measured in all subjects.
