You’ve been diagnosed with low bone density.The medical term isosteopenia, and you can think of it as pre-osteoporosis. If you have osteopenia, your bone density is below average. Your bones are weaker and more likely to fracture than those of someone with normal bone density, but they a...

The term “osteopenia” has been replaced by “low bone mass” in the WHO classification. It is recommended that radiologists reclaim osteopenia as the term to describe low bone mass seen on plain radiographs or computed tomography recognizing the subjectivity of the observation and its dependance ...
Cobb angle after brace termination was 29.9° ± 11.9°, which means there was no significant change to the Cobb angle before brace therapy (p = 0.903) (Fig. 5, Table 1). Fig. 4 Real brace wear per day Full size image Fig. 5 Cobb angle before, during and after bracing ...
[19,20,21]. It is thus concluded that long-term hyperglycemia inevitably disrupts the Wnt signaling pathway to a certain extent, which eventually causes bone resorption to be greater than bone formation, leading to osteoporosis. Accordingly, investigating roles of Wnt signaling in diabetic ...
Conclusions: Long-term treatment, especially with vitamin D and calcium, was safe and efficient in the treatment of osteopenia/osteoporosis in HIV infected patients. As BMD values decreased in a majority of individuals without therapy, and given the absence of any association between life-style ...
3, 5 The loss of FRC at term is made worse by recumbency, when diaphragm elevation is greatest because of the higher intra-abdominal pressure. Increased pulmonary blood volume in pregnancy may also serve to lower the FRC.6 This reduction in FRC is associated clinically with increased uptake ...
Life expectancy has increased by over a decade since 1970, with people in OECD countries now living past 80 on average. While this increase is a testament to medical advancements, it also brings new challenges, such as managing age-related health conditions. ...

Furthermore, long-term interventional and controlled studies are required to increase our understanding of the impact of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia in relation to periodontal diseases. Additionally, both researchers and practitioners should collaborate to increase awareness about the effects of ant...
