In clinical settings, OP is asymptomatic during the early stages. Typically, this disease is not diagnosed until bone fragility occurs. Thus, the early diagnosis of OP remains challenging. Currently, drug therapy with bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and fluorides is the primary treatment strategy for OP...
In a second stage, chart abstraction was completed by the project director. Patients were excluded if their fracture occurred after high-impact trauma, the coded fracture was not confirmed on radiograph, the fracture occurred more than 10 years previously, bone density screening had already been ...
Accordingly, in the present study, the protein profiles of plasma exosomes from patients with osteoporosis, osteopenia, and those with normal bone mass were compared in order to detect circulating exosomal proteins differentially expressed under different stages of the disease. The aim of the study wa...
Osteoporosis is “a skeletal condition characterized by decreased density (mass/volume) of normally mineralized bone”, which leads to a high risk of fracture [4]. Osteoporosis is observed in a large number of hemodialysis patients, ranging from 23% to 41% [5,6,7]. The consequences of oste...
Table 1. Studies in patients with NPHPT that provided data with regard to the bone status and mineral metabolism according to our methods [35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48] (Abbreviations: BMD = bone mineral density; BTM = bone turnover marker; Ca = calcium; eGFR = esti...
Previous studies reported that dairy foods are associated with higher areal bone mineral density (BMD) in older adults. However, data on bone strength and bone microarchitecture are lacking. We determined the association of dairy food intake (milk, yogurt, cheese, milk + yogurt, and milk + yogu...
