Vyvial, Brent Aron (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Hindlimb unloading is a widely used model for studying the effects of microgravity on a skeleton. Hindlimb unloading produces a marked loss in bone due to increased osteoclast activity. Electrical muscle stimulation is ...
-
Ramaswamy, Ramya (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This study focussed on the reduced platen compression (RPC) testing of the cancellous bone of the proximal tibia. The objective of this study was to improve the current testing methods with an emphasis on the location of ...

Gerges, Amira Sami (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Recent research has shown an association between low dietary calcium intake and obesity in adults as well as overweight in young children; however, this relationship has not been investigated in adolescents. The purpose ...
-
Swift, Sibyl Nichole (2011-10-21)Moderate energy restriction in young, exercising women attenuates the positive effects of exercise on bone density. Studies have shown that in the absence of adequate levels of circulating estrogen, there may not be ...
-
Bouse, Scott (2010-07-14)Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is used as a countermeasure in animal disuse studies that seek to determine which forms of exercise are most effective in mitigating the effects of disuse atrophy on bone and muscle. ...
-
Swift, Joshua Michael (2011-08-08)Mechanical loading is an integral component to maintaining bone mass during periods of disuse (i.e. bedrest or casting) or reduced weightbearing activity. Recent data has shown a direct relation between the sympathetic ...
-
Lucas, Matthew W. (2010-01-14)The mechanical properties of the cancellous bone in the laboratory rat animal model are of great interest to the research community for the evaluation of treatments for osteoporosis. Cancellous bone responds rapidly and ...
-
Alcorn, Justin Dow (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Rats that undergo hindlimb unloading (HU) as a simulation for space flight experience bone changes similar to astronauts in microgravity. The purpose of this research was to assess whether an exercise countermeasure would ...

Sumner, Lindsay Rebecca (2009-05-15)
-
Jeffery, Jay Melvin (2009-05-15)Disuse of weight bearing bones has been shown to cause bone loss. This poses a health concern for people exposed to microgravity, such as astronauts. Animal studies are used to study factors related to bone loss and ...
-
Gonzalez, Estela (2012-10-19)Mechanical unloading with microgravity exposure during spaceflight induces bone loss in weight bearing bones. Combined with loss of bone due to aging, this disuse bone loss puts astronauts at increased risk of fracture ...

Ritchie, Lauren E.; Taddeo, Stella S.; Weeks, Brad R.; Lima, Florence; Bloomfield, Susan A.; Azcarate-Peril, M. Andrea; Zwart, Sara R.; Smith, Scott M.; Turner, Nancy D.; Weir, Tiffany L. (PloS One, 2015)

Nordt, Marlo Faye (2011-08-08)Providing computer-aided support for human analysis of videos has been a battle of extremes. Powerful solutions exist, but they tend to be domain-specific and complex. The user-friendly, simple systems provide little ...
