Effects of ciclesonide and fluticasone on cortisol secretion in patients with persistent asthma (2009)

Derom, Eric, Louis, Renaud, Tiesler, Christine, Engelstätter, Renate, Kaufman, Jean, Joos, Guy

We compared the systemic and clinical effects of ciclesonide (CIC) and fluticasone propionate (FP), given on top of CIC 160 µg·day-1 and salmeterol 50 µg twice daily in 32 patients with persistent...

Polymorphisms of the SHBG gene contribute to the interindividual variation of sex steroid hormone blood levels in young, middle-aged and elderly men (2009)

Vanbillemont, Griet, Bogaert, Veerle, De Bacquer, Dirk, Lapauw, Bruno, GOEMAERE, STEFAN, Toye, Kaatje, ...

In men there is a large interindividual variation of SHBG levels and consequently of testosterone (T) and E-2 levels. Family and twin studies suggested a strong genetic contribution, besides...

The relationship between sex steroid hormones and behavioural inhibition (BIS) and behavioural activation (BAS) in adolescent boys and girls (2009)

Vermeersch, Hans, T'SJOEN, GUY, Kaufman, Jean, Vincke, Johny

This paper analyses the association between free testosterone (FT), free estradiol (FE2) and Carver and White's (1994) four-factor model of behavioural inhibition (BIS) and behavioural activation...

Short-term aromatase inhibition: effects on glucose metabolism and serum leptin levels in young and elderly men (2009)

Lapauw, Bruno, T'SJOEN, GUY, Mahmoud, Ahmed, Kaufman, Jean, RUIGE, JOHANNES

Objective: To assess and compare the effects of short-term aromatase inhibition on glucose metabolism, lipid profile, and adipocytokine levels in young and elderly men. Design and methods: Ten...

Evidence-based guidelines for the use of biochemical markers of bone turnover in the selection and monitoring of bisphosphonate treatment in osteoporosis: a consensus document of the Belgian Bone Club (2009)

Bergmann, Pierre, Body, Jean-Jacques, Boonen, Steven, Boutsen, Yves, Devogelaer, JP, GOEMAERE, STEFAN, ...

To review the clinical value of bone turnover markers (BTM), to initiate and/or monitor anti-resorptive treatment for osteoporosis compared with bone mineral density (BMD) and to evaluate suitable...

Wang, C, Nieschlag, E, Swerdloff, R, Behre, HM, Hellstrom, WJ, Gooren, LJ, ...

The new ISA, ISSAM, EAU, EAA and ASA recommendations on the investigation, treatment and monitoring of late-onset hypogonadism in males provide updated evidence-based information for clinicians who...

Prevalence of Low Bone Mass in Relation to Estrogen Treatment and Body Composition in Male-to-Female Transsexual Persons (2009)

T'SJOEN, GUY, Weyers, Steven, Taes, Youri, Lapauw, Bruno, Toye, Kaatje, GOEMAERE, STEFAN, ...

Bone health is a parameter of interest in the daily follow-up of male-to-female (M -> F) transsexual persons both before and after sex reassignment surgery (SRS) due to an intensely changing hormonal...

Body composition, volumetric and areal bone parameters in male-to-female transsexual persons (2008)

Lapauw, Bruno, Taes, Youri, Simoens, Steven, Van Caenegem, Eva, Weyers, Steven, GOEMAERE, STEFAN, ...

To provide data on bone metabolism, geometry and volumetric bone mineral density in M -> F transsexual persons. Design/setting/participants: Twenty-three M -> F transsexual persons, recruited from...

Serum estradiol is associated with volumetric bone mineral density and modulates the impact of physical activity on bone size at the age of peak bone mass: a study in healthy male siblings (2008)

Lapauw, Bruno, Taes, Youri, Bogaert, Veerle, Vanbillemont, Griet, GOEMAERE, STEFAN, Zmierczak, Hans-Georg, ...

Introduction: This study investigates determinants of peak bone mass (PBM) in healthy men, focusing on effects and interactions of parameters reflecting mechanical loading and sex steroids. Methods:...

Osteoporosis in men (2008)

Kaufman, Jean, GOEMAERE, STEFAN

About one in three osteoporotic fractures occur in men, and the consequences of fractures are more severe in men. However, only too few men at high risk of fracture are detected and treated. There is...
