2. Risk of osteoporotic fracture in women using the FRAX tool with and without bone mineral density score in patients followed at a tertiary outpatient clinic-An observational study

   CLINICS, v.77, article ID 100015, 5p, 2022

   Objectives: Fragility fractures increase morbidity and mortality. Adding assessment of clinical risk factors independently or as a previous step to Bone Densitometry (BD) should provide better accuracy in fracture risk prediction. FRAX tool might be used to stratify patients in order to rationali...

3. Coronary calcification and bone microarchitecture by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography from the Sao Paulo Ageing and Health (SPAH) Study

   SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, v.12, n.1, article ID 5282, 11p, 2022

   Epidemiological studies reveal a link between osteoporosis and the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease. We illustrate an association between coronary calcification and bone microarchitecture in older adults based on the SPAH study. This cross-sectional research comprised 256 individuals subje...

4. Phenformin increases early hematopoietic progenitors in the Jak2(V617F) murine model

   INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUGS, v.40, n.3, p.576-585, 2022

   Background. Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are disorders characterized by an alteration at the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) level, where the JAK2 mutation is the most common genetic alteration found in classic MPN (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis).
