Mevolonate Pathway:role of bisphosphonates and statins
Cardiovascular diseases, i.e. high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and stroke, and osteoporosis are public health problems, with several epidemiological links, and they might be related to each other in terms of pathogenesis and therapeutic agents. Bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption and are used in the treatment of osteoporosis, whereas statins inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis and are used for the treatment of atherosclerosis and lipid metabolic disorders. Some late clinical studies suggested bisphosphonates may have beneficial effect in vivo on atherosclerotic progression, lipid profiles, and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, whereas statins might increase bone density, …

Evaluation of supraspinatus tendon teras with elastosonography in comparison to US and MRI . Our experience
INTRODUCTION: Elastosonography is a new promising ultrasound tool that can evaluate soft-tissue elasticity, in particular of the tendons. The purpose of this study was to value the elasticity of the supraspinatus tendon in shoulders with clinically suspected unilateral rotator cuff tear, and to compare the findings with those of US and MRI. MATHERIALS AND METHODS: 36 shoulders of 18 patients (mean age 46 years; range: 32 – 58 years) were examined by Elastosonography using the EUB – Hitachi 7500 Japan. Electronic array transducer of 13 MHz was used. By Elastosonography, we have evaluated the tendon fibers with a seminquantitative score of different colors representing stiff tissue (blue) to …
