Because of supply chain shortages as well as staffing shortages particularly during the pandemic, many institutions extended the time between dressing changes for chronic wounds. Is this really the be… Read More Food choices that raise your risk of type 2 diabetes ...
Just because your bone mass is lower than it should be doesn’t mean you have full-blown osteoporosis. There’s a diagnosis that sits between normal bone density and extremely low levels, and that is osteopenia. This means that your T-score levels sit between one and 2.5 standard deviations...
A leading reason for screening asymptomatic individuals is to institute early treatment, thereby mitigating the risk of long-term CD-related complications, specifically osteopenia/osteoporosis, small bowel lymphoma, reproductive problems, and the overall enhanced mortality associated with CD [98]. 11.1. ...
biopsy at 9 months, the child grew at a discernable rate. Though the child was administered bisphosonate at 4 months due to osteopenia, it would not account for the growth. Thus, the investigators surmised it must be the FL-MSCs. By age of 2 years, fractures were minimal, childre...
“physiocognitive decline syndrome (PCDS)”. PCDS is defined as concurrent mobility impairment no disability (MIND: slow gait or/and weak handgrip) and cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND: ≥1.5 SD below the mean for age-, sex-, and education-matched norms in any cognitive domain but ...
important to seek medical attention if one is at risk of osteoporosis, even if one has not experienced a fracture, in order to identify and begin to treat possible cases of osteopenia. Treatment for both conditions should be focussed on treating the underlying secondary cause(s) where possible....
Osteopenia andosteoporosis— both terms for low bone mass, or low bone mineral density — are common complications of ankylosing spondylitis, and both raise the risk of spinal fractures. While lack of physical activity may contribute to low bone mass later in the disease, a study concluded that...
(FVC 50% predicted), cardiac abnormalities (EF 50%, evidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or generalized wall motion abnormality, arrhythmias, conduction defects), or bone loss (osteoporosis or bone mineral density 2.5 SD below peak bone mass, osteopenia or bone mass of 1.0–2.5 SD below peak ...
Individual patient-related factors such as osteoporosis or osteopenia and cardiac co-morbidities like atrial fibrillation should always be taken into account during thyroid hormone therapy and weighed against the risk of recurrence. Especially in elderly patients >60 years, the use of TSH suppressive th...
