hyperostosis/obesity

A manual dexterity test was performed in a population of elderly women. Obese subjects with hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) had a poorer performance than subjects with either HFI alone or obesity alone. The combined effects of cerebral arteriosclerosis and HFI is suggested as a possible

BACKGROUND Hyperostosis is a common pathological change among people more than 50 years old; it is connected with many risk factors, which are all indefinite. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the correlation between obesity and female hyperostosis. METHODS Totally 4326 females

BACKGROUND Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a rheumatic disease characterized by a significant association with metabolic alterations, such as an impaired lipidic profile. METHODS One-hundred-thirty consecutive patients and 40 normal subjects were studied. The patients were

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common but often unrecognized systemic disorder observed mainly in the middle-aged and elderly population, characterized by ankylosing formations of the spine and ossifications of peripheral ligaments, tendons and joint capsule insertion points

We report a patient with Morgagni syndrome. The main aim of this paper is to discuss hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) and coexisting clinical feature and to describe the pathomorphology in detail on the basis of MRI images of the skull. The patient, a woman, was 82 years old when she first came

Clinically, the presence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has been linked to a disturbance of glucose and insulin metabolism, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity associated with a rich diet. The prevalence of DISH in archaeological skeletal samples may therefore be a valuable

BACKGROUND Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is associated with increasing age, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. However, little is known about the clinical impacts of DISH on physical function and spinal deformity in elderly populations. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common but often unrecognized systemic disorder observed mainly in the elderly. DISH is diagnosed when the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine is ossified on at least four contiguous spinal levels or when multiple peripheral enthesopathies

Serum insulin and C-peptide response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and serum growth hormone (GH) response to an intravenous insulin tolerance test (IVITT) were investigated in six non-obese patients, with normal glucose tolerance, affected by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis

The aim of this article is to present evidence of hyperostosis frontalis interna in a 40-year-old female recovered from a Meroitic cemetery (ca. 300 A.D.) in Sudanese Nubia. A review of the literature concerning the Morgagni-Stewart-Morel (MSM) syndrome suggests that the changes in the skull
