Osteoporosis in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis, Risk Factors, and Prevention
TL;DR: The diagnostic criteria of osteopenia/osteoporosis is reviewed by densitometric assessment of bone mineral density, the contributing factors, and the mechanisms whereby several disorders may affect the acquisition of bone mass in children and adolescents are reviewed.

TL;DR: This review gives an overview on the most relevant techniques of quantitative noninvasive bone analysis and describes the relationship between bone biology, selected surrogates describing the biological processes and the possibilities of measuring these surrogates specifically and precisely by the different devices.

Intact Parathyroid Hormone Levels during Pregnancy, in Healthy Term Neonates and in Hypocalcemic Preterm Infants
TL;DR: The results suggest that measurement of intact parathyroid hormone 1‐84 by immunoradiometric assay in the first days of life is a more sensitive index ofParathyroid gland secretory function than the measurement of middle or carboxyl‐terminal parathyrod hormone fragments allowing the detection of the dynamic changes of parathyoid hormone which occur in hypocalcemic preterm infants.

Twenty-four-hour osteocalcin, carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen, and aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen rhythms in normal and growth-retarded children.
TL;DR: It is suggested that circadian serum PICP and PIIINP concentrations show GH dependency in children with classic GH deficiency and those with nonclassic GH deficiency, but this was less evident in SNC.
Bone turnover in children with vitamin D deficiency rickets before and during treatment.
TL;DR: It is suggested that children with vitamin D deficiency rickets have increased bone turnover before and during the first weeks of treatment, and alkaline phosphatase is a more reliable marker than osteocalcin, PICP, ICTP and NTX for diagnosing and monitoring these patients.
