The development of reliable techniques to measure bone densitometry and evolving effective drug treatment have kindled great interest in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in adults with inflammatory bowel disease. A number of studies have examined the prevalence of abnormal bone mineral me

Background: Decreased bone mineral density has been reported in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We used peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) to assess bone mineralization, geometry, and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in pediatric IBD. ## Methods: In a cross-sectio
It is well known that retinoids are effective in the treatment of various dermatological disorders. It has been reported that retinoids have inhibitory effects on the generation of superoxide (O2-) by stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). In the present study, we investigated the effects o
## Aims: To assess bone mineral density (bmd) in children with crohn's disease (cd) and ulcerative colitis (uc) and to investigate the role of inflammation and steroids on bmd. ## Methods: Lumbar spine areal bmd was measured by dxa, and volumetric bmd was then estimated (bmad); inflammatory cytok
