No evidence could be obtained that nerves exert any specific, trophic influence on bone, but the altered properties of the bones of a paralysed limb are due almost entirely to a loss in the quantity of bone; bone quality is only slightly altered.

89 Citations1964M Landry, H. Fleisch
In animals immobilised by tendon section the mechanical function becomes restored in the second week as a result of healing: this explains the rapid compensation for the initial loss of weight of the bones accompanied by a marked increase in tetracycline uptake.
The American Journal of MedicineThyrocalcitonin, osteoporosis and osteolysis
72 Citations1967Howard Rasmussen, Alan Tenenhouse
This review considers the problem of osteoporosis in the context of present knowledge (and its limitations) of the mechanisms of bone resorption and bone formation and considers the recent evidence that thyrocalcitonin and parathyroid hormone control metabolism by regulating the fluxes of calcium and magnesium across cellular and subcellular membranes.

Evidence is presented that pulmonary stenosis with patent foramen ovale is a well defined clinical entity with enough distinctive features to make possible diagnosis during life and represents a conspicuous exception to the rule that cyanotic congenital heart disease with dilated pulmonary arteries is unsuitable for surgical relief.

An attempt was made in five paraplegic patients to imitate ambulation while the patients were still immobilized by means of the oscillating bed, as suggested by Whedon et al., and by the tilt table, and it is postulated that the "stresses and strains" on bone might primarily result from muscular contractions rather than weight-bearing or circulatory changes.

15 Citations1965Jack Stevens, Robert D. Ray
The dead bone became progressively less dense than the living bone as the duration of the implantation increased, and the change in density was related to the quantity, but not to the quality, of the bone tissue examined.

The altered radiographic density of avascular bone seen in clinical practice is almost certainly relative unless there has been concomitant appositional new bone formation, and some other explanation must be sought for the finding that dead bone takes up significant amounts of bone-seeking isotopes in radioactive tracer studies.
