A novel methodology using high resolution thermal imaging to detect vertebral fractures in children with osteogenesis imperfecta

De Salis Alexandra Fane , Saatchi Reza , Dimitri Paul

Background: Vertebral compression fractures are common in children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Current imaging methods for fracture detection (X-ray and DXA) use ionising radiation. High Resolution Thermal imaging (HRTI) is a non-invasive, non-ionising method that detects infrared radiation energy emissivity to an accuracy of 0.04 °C, providing a quantitative and qualitative map of temperature distribution. Given that the alteration in blood flow in vertebral fractures ...

Abscissic acid (ABA) is a hormone best known for its role in plants. We previously showed that it is released by pancreatic beta-cells upon glucose stimulation, and autocrinally enhances insulin secretion.Here we additionally report that ABA promotes glucose uptake by rat L6 myoblasts and murine 3T3-L1 cells differentiated to adipocytes, at least partly by inducing GLUT-4 translocation to the plasma membrane.To determine whether AB...
