Background: BoneXpert software calculates bone health index (BHI) from cortical thickness and mineralisation of three metacarpals, and bone age (BA) using 13 bones: Radius, ulna and bones in ray 1, 3, 5. Strong correlations between BoneXpert BHI and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed CT (pQCT) measurements are reported 1. Low bone mineral density (BMD), measured by DXA, and improvement with GH is described in childhood GH deficiency (GH...

Background: Hypothalamic-PituitaryAdrenal (HPA) axis suppression is common during inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment of asthma, and deaths due to adrenal crisis are described. Little is known about the optimal treatment or recovery of ICS induced HPA axis suppression.Aims: To describe the treatment and outcomes of children with ICS induced HPA suppression diagnosed on the low dose short Synacthen test (LDSST).Method: The ...
