Autosomal dominant hyperostosis/osteosclerosis with high serum alkaline phosphatase activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

We studied eight affected and four unaffected individuals from a Colombian family with autosomal dominant diffuse high bone density. Affected individuals have normal, proportional height and high serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Radiographically, affected members exhibit generalized,

Serum soluble factors induce the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and transforming growth factor-beta signal in osteoblastic cells in the patient with hepatitis C-associated osteosclerosis.

Hepatitis C-associated osteosclerosis (HCAO) is a rare syndrome characterized by severe, acquired, generalized osteosclerosis and hyperostosis in adults who are infected with the hepatitis C virus. However, the detail of the pathogenesis of HCAO is still unknown. We examined the effects of serum of

Hepatitis C-associated osteosclerosis (HCAO): report of a new case with involvement of the OPG/RANKL system.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a new case of hepatitis C-associated osteosclerosis (HCAO). The clinical presentation of the patient was an acquired deep severe bone pain with increased serum bone alkaline phosphatase activity (up to 12 times the upper limit of normal), and generalized bone sclerosis, temporally related

Idiopathic acquired diffuse osteosclerosis in a young woman.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe a young woman who acquired a painful, diffuse osteosclerosis of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, pelvis, and long bones of the legs as an adult. Bone densitometry showed a large increase in apparent bone density. Skeletal radiographs demonstrated progressive endosteal and

Idiopathic Acquired Osteosclerosis in a Middle-Aged Woman With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Widely distributed osteosclerosis is an unusual radiographic finding with multiple causes. A 42-year-old premenopausal Spanish woman gradually acquired dense bone diffusely affecting her axial skeleton and focally affecting her proximal long bones. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosed in

Autosomal dominant osteosclerosis: report of a kindred.

Only registered users can translate articles

Autosomal dominant osteosclerosis (ADO), a rare inherited craniotubular bone disorder, is a generalized hyperostosis that manifests itself as increased cortical thickening of the skull, mandible, metacarpals, metatarsals, long bones, vertebral bodies, ribs, and clavicles. Jaw abnormalities, which

Bone densitometry of a patient with osteosclerosis.

A 30-yr-old Caucasian man with a history of dorsal and lumbar back pain, which responded partially to antiinflammatory agents, was seen at our Unit. The biochemical bone markers showed an increment in bone alkaline phosphatase and urinary CTX. Serum phosphate tended to be low. Radiographic

Evidence for an osteoblast-activating factor in a patient with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and osteosclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient with peripheral T-cell Lymphoma and acquired, systemic osteosclerosis is described. Bone histology showed a spectacular activation of osteoblasts accompanyed by massive new bone formation. Alkaline phosphatase in serum was elevated and increased to greater than 2000 U/l when the lymphoma

Procollagen type I carboxy-terminal extension peptide in serum as a marker of collagen biosynthesis in bone. Correlation with Iliac bone formation rates and comparison with total alkaline phosphatase.

Only registered users can translate articles

We measured iliac bone formation rates on all surfaces after double tetracycline labeling, serum levels of type 1 procollagen carboxy-terminal extension peptide (pColl-I-C), and serum levels of total alkaline phosphatase activity (TAP) in four normal subjects and in 44 patients with various forms of

Measurement of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the brain isoenzyme of creatine kinase accurately diagnoses type II autosomal dominant osteopetrosis but does not identify gene carriers.

Only registered users can translate articles

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is typically diagnosed from radiographs, which demonstrate the pathognomonic findings of osteosclerosis and endobone formation. Individuals with ADO2 also have elevated serum levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and the BB isoenzyme of

Hepatitis C-associated osteosclerosis: late onset after blood transfusion in an elderly woman.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 69-yr-old woman with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection from blood transfusion 14 yr earlier was evaluated in 1997 for increasing appendicular skeletal pain. Diffusely elevated radioisotope uptake on bone scanning had appeared during the past 15 months. Radiographs spanning 1978-1997 showed

Qualitative bone defect in uremic osteosclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Osteosclerosis, an increased volume of trabecular bone, is a common but often misinterpreted feature of uremic osteodystrophy. Despite the apparent radiographic density of osteosclerotic bone, pain and fracture may be associated. If accumulated osteoid and woven bone exceed the volume of lamellar

Diffuse osteosclerosis in a patient with prostate cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 61-year-old man was referred to our outpatient clinic because of severe bilateral upper leg pain for 1 year. On admission, the patient had anemia and a high serum alkaline phosphatase level. Lumbar and femoral neck T-scores were +10.5 and +9.6, respectively. His radius 33 % T-score was -2.8. Plain

Autosomal dominant osteosclerosis associated with familial spinal canal stenosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We studied a family with autosomal dominant osteosclerosis associated with familial spinal canal stenosis. The propositus, a 44-year-old Japanese woman, had a 9-month history of occipitalgia and left tinnitus, and also had a 2-month history of pain and numbness of the right upper limb. Radiographic

Adult osteosclerosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Quantitative bone histology was carried out in five osteosclerotic adults. The bone was extremely hard in all patients, and open biopsy was usually required. One patient, aged 18 years, presented with hypoplastic anemia, and the most probable explanation for the osteosclerosis is a marrow stem cell
