Study finds significant gender and racial disparities in osteoporosis treatment

New research indicates that elderly men are significantly undertreated for osteoporosis compared with elderly women, and blacks have the lowest treatment rates among racial/ethnic groups.

$Better prediction of osteoporotic hip fractures using 3D simulation of bone densitometry$

Better prediction of osteoporotic hip fractures using 3D simulation of bone densitometry

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease in which there is a decrease in bone mass density. The bones become more porous and fragile making them more susceptible to fracture. This disease reduces bone density and weakens the bone.

Ultrasonography of calcaneus offers comparable results to those obtained by DXA

In a study that could lead to wide use of inexpensive ultrasound screenings for osteoporosis, researchers found data from ultrasonography of the calcaneus was equal to data gathered using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, which is considered the gold standard for assessing bone health.

New form of hereditary osteoporosis identified

A research group headed by Professor Outi Mäkitie, Unviersity of Helsinki, identified in families with childhood-onset osteoporosis disease-causing mutations in a gene that had previously not been connected with the skeletal system or osteoporosis.

Multinational initiative to study familial primary distal renal tubular acidosis

In addition to regulating the body's fluid balance, by excreting greater or smaller amounts of urine, the kidneys also maintain the proper balance of electrolytes (salts) and the pH (an acid-base equilibrium) within our body.

Mount Sinai awarded $12.5 million NIH grant for research program in aging biology

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have been awarded a $12.5 million grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, for a five-year program called the U19 that consists of four multidisciplinary projects in aging biology.

Fractures have prolonged effect on older adults' quality of life

Single and multiple hip, vertebral, and rib fractures strongly affect the quality of life of older adults over a prolonged period of time, according to a new study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.

Researcher discovers blood vessel system in bones

A network of very fine blood vessels that connects bone marrow directly with the blood supply of the periosteum that was previously overlooked has now been discovered by Dr. Anika Grüneboom, a young researcher who is now working at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen.

MedDairy diet improves health outcomes of people with cardiovascular risk

Thousands of people can take heart as new research from the University of South Australia shows a dairy-enhanced Mediterranean diet will significantly increase health outcomes for those at risk of cardiovascular disease - and it's even more effective than a low-fat diet.

Global task force of bone health experts question effectiveness of spinal fusion procedures

There is little to no evidence that two surgical procedures used to fuse crumbled vertebrae following a spinal fracture caused by osteoporosis reduce pain for patients any better than non-surgical or placebo procedures, according to a new report from a global task force of bone health experts published today in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.

Scientists discover new blood vessels in bone

Researchers have discovered new blood vessels in the long bones of mice and similar new vessels in human long bones that could be used to further our understanding of osteoporosis.

Researchers discover new blood vessel system in bones

Bones are very hard organs. Still they do possess a tight meshwork of blood vessels in their inner cavity, where the bone marrow is located, as well as on the bone surface, that is covered by the highly vascularized periosteum.
