We have previously shown considerable between-center variation in bone mineral density (BMD) in the 13 EVOS centers that performed bone densitometry on their sex- and age-stratified population samples, after adjusting for weight and age. We have now investigated whether part of the between-center ...
Bone turnover markerCritical illness is associated with increased risk of fragility fracture and loss of bone mineral density (BMD), although the impact of medication exposures (bone anti-fracture therapy or glucocorticoids) and time remain unexplored. The objective of this study was to describe the...
Some diuretics, particularly loop diuretics such as furosemide, might compromise bone strength. These drugs cause the kidneys to lose calcium via urine, even as they help the body eliminate extra fluid. Particularly in the hip region, this calcium loss might reduce bone density over t...
Low bone density medications, such as Fosamax, Boniva and Actonel, may have a protective effect for endometrial cancer, according to a study at Henry Ford Hospital. Endometrial cancer affects more than 45,000 women a year in the U.S., usually in their 60s, although it can occur before 40...

Sometimes special equipment that permits the use of smaller incisions that do not split the breastbone is used. Usually, the heart is stopped so that it is not moving and thus is easier to operate on. A heart-lung machine is then used to put oxygen into the bloo...
Osteoporosis is a bone condition that’s primarily caused by bone loss. This bone disease most often affects women because the estrogen changes that occur during menopause sharply decrease bone density. This drop in bone density affects strength and bala

Effects of Antiepileptic Medications on Bone Density in Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental DisabilitiesIndividuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are commonly prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to manage seizures, manage behavior, and stabilize mood. Though research has ...
Anti-thyroid antibodies (aTA) have previously been found to be present in various autoimmune diseases. Our aim was to study the effect of aTA positivity (which are anti-thyroid peroxidase (aTPo) and/or anti-thyroglobulin (aTg)) on children with primary immune thrombocytopenia and their......
