Cigarette smoking has deleterious effects on the musculo-skeletal system.The loss of bone mineral content and increased incidence fractures are best known negative consequences.The pathogenesis is complex, due to direct toxic osteoblasts/osteoclasts activity nicotine, indirect actions sex adrenocortical hormones, vitamin D, intestinal calcium absorption, vessels oxygen supply.Smoking may favour onset or aggravate progression rheumatoid arthritis back pain.Negative influences have been...
Return to play (RTP) decisions in football are currently based on expert opinion. No consensus guideline has been published demonstrate an evidence-based decision-making process (soccer). Our aim was provide a framework for RTP following lower limb muscle injuries sustained football. A 1-day meeting held Milan, 31 August 2018, involving 66 national and international experts from various academic backgrounds. narrative review of the current evidence provided delegates. Assembled came best...
The nomenclature and the lack of consensus clinical evaluation imaging assessment in groin pain generate significant confusion this field.

A 1-day was on 5 February 2016, Milan (Italy). 41 experts with different backgrounds participated discussion. previously drafted discussed, eventually modified, finally approved by all members Conference. Unanimous reached...
Abstract Rebound bone loss following denosumab discontinuation is an important barrier in the effective long-term treatment of skeletal disorders. This driven by increased osteoclastic resorption offset RANKL inhibition, and sequential osteoclast-directed therapy has been utilised to mitigate this. However, current strategies intervene inhibition this approach fails consistently prevent loss. Our previous work, using a mouse model discontinuation, shown that processes drive rebound...
In women the menstrual cycle influences mood and anxiety. Aim of this study was to preliminarily investigate whether different ovarian steroid hormone levels may modulate psychophysiological responses elicited by test Specifically, we compared secretion anxiety-induced salivary proteins healthy in early follicular (Pre-Ov group) (low hormones levels) mid-luteal (Post-Ov (medium/high phase cycle, during simulation an oral examination. Saliva samples were collected before after a relaxation...
Abstract Background Stem cells isolated from amniotic fluid are known to be able differentiate into different types, being thus considered as a potential tool for cellular therapy of human diseases. In the present study, we report novel single step protocol osteoblastic differentiation cells. Results The described is provide producing nodules calcium mineralization within 18 days withdrawal samples. These display complete expression osteogenic markers (COL1, ONC, OPN, OCN, OPG, BSP, Runx2)...
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has shown positive and long-lasting effects in patients with tendinopathies. However, information about age-related differences the clinical outcome is limited. Aim of this retrospective study was to compare efficacy PRP therapy young elderly subjects suffering for Achilles tendinopathy.Patients recalcitrant non-insertional tendinopathy were enrolled. Clinical (VISA-A) instrumental (ultrasonography) data collected at baseline after 1, 3, 6, 12 months. injections...
Introduction: The prevalence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) increased in the last years. Compression promote a progressive spine kyphosis increase, resulting weight shift and anterior column overload, with OVF additional risk (domino effect). aim this study is to evaluate treatment outcome using Spine Jack ®, titanium device for third generation percutaneous augmentation procedures (PVAPs). Materials Methods: From February 2010, prospective randomized was performed examining 300...
