Osteoporosis is a complex skeletal disorder in which compromised bone strength increases the risk of fragility fractures. Recent scientific advances in bone biology and immunology have greatly expanded our insights into the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. For those with osteoporotic fractures, however, the ...
We report a sibship of a sister and brother with osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome. Several other family members became blind or showed signs of bone involvement. There was considerable consanguinity in the pedigree. The proband was small in size and had prominent skeletal deformities and clinical ...

Signs of osteolysis were not observed. Compared to the 2-year follow-up, no further subsidence was observed. Conclusions The rate of stem revision (0%) at the mid-term follow-up was remarkable and indicates the principle of using a calcar-guided short stem as being a safe procedure. ...
OsteoporosisOsteoporosisOsteoporosis refers to a decrease in bone mass and density leading to an increased number of fractures. There are 2 forms of osteoporosis: primary, which is commonly postmenopausal or senile; and secondary, which is a manifestation of immobilization, underlying medical disorders,...
Both higher numbers and greater sizes of osteophytes of the contralateral hip were found in patients requiring subsequent THA (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001). When assessing T-scores and the fraction of patients categorized as having osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal BMD, there were no ...
This is inconvenient and uncomfortable; it can also be associated with short-term complications, such as bleeding, and long-term complications, such as osteoporosis.46 One can appreciate, therefore, that correct classification of patients with symptoms of DVT is crucial. Clinical prediction of dvt ...
Male hypogonadism is defined as a clinical syndrome resulting from failure of the testes to produce physiological levels of testosterone and normal number of spermatozoa, due to disruption of one or more levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. ...
of presentation has changed both in children and adults with diarrhea and a malabsorption syndrome becoming less common. Abdominal pain and growth issues are major modes of presentation in children, while anemia, osteoporosis, and recognition at endoscopy performed for GERD are seen as modes of ...
