| journal of bone mineral research: Osteoporosis in Men Eric S. Orwoll, John P. Bilezikian, Dirk Vanderschueren, 2009-11-30 Since the publication of the first edition, the U.S. Surgeon General released the first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis in October 2004. This report focuses even more attention on the devastating impact osteoporosis has on millions of lives. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2 million American men have osteoporosis, and another 12 million are at risk for this disease. Yet despite the large number of men affected, the lack of awareness by doctors and their patients puts men at a higher risk that the condition may go undiagnosed and untreated. It is estimated that one-fifth to one-third of all hip fractures occur in men. This second edition brings on board John Bilezikian and Dirk Vanderschueren as editors with Eric Orwoll. The table of contents is more than doubling with 58 planned chapters. The format is larger – 8.5 x 11. This edition of Osteoporosis in Men brings together even more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field, and describe state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy. - Brings together more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field - Describes state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy - There is no book on the market that covers osteoporosis in men as comprehensively as this book |

| journal of bone mineral research: Bone Stress Injuries Adam S. Tenforde, MD, Michael Fredericson, MD, 2021-07-17 “This book gives a nice summary of the current state of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries. It is particularly useful for sports medicine fellows and residents with an interest in athletes and active patients. ---Doody's Review Service, 3 stars Bone stress injuries are commonly seen in athletes and active individuals across a full spectrum of physical activity, age, and gender. While most overuse injuries can be addressed through non-operative care, injuries may progress to full fractures that require surgery if misdiagnosed or not correctly managed. Written by leaders in sports medicine including physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopaedics, endocrinology and allied health professionals of biomechanics, physical therapy and dietetics, Bone Stress Injuries offers state-of-the-art guidelines and up-to-date science and terminology to practitioners. Using a holistic approach to understand the management of bone stress injuries, this book highlights specific considerations by injury, gender, and risk factor to ensure that a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed to optimize bone health, neuromuscular re-education, gait mechanics, and injury prevention. Organized into four parts, opening chapters cover the general need-to-know topics, including clinical history, imaging, and risk factors including biological and biomechanical factors. The book proceeds anatomically through the body from upper extremity to foot and ankle injuries, with each chapter underscoring diagnostic and treatment strategies specific to that region. Chapters dedicated to special populations discuss the differences in injury evaluation and management according to age, gender, and military background. Final chapters review the prevention of injuries and examine both common and novel treatment strategies, such as medications, nutrition, gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other interventions. Invaluable in its scope and approach, Bone Stress Injuries is the go-to resource for sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, and primary care providers who manage the care of athletes and individuals leading active lifestyles. Key Features: Promotes evidence-based practice for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries Covers specific anatomy that is prone to bone stress injuries with dedicated chapters on upper and lower extremities, pelvis and hip, spine, and foot and ankle Considers evaluation and management differences according to specific populations of pediatric, male, female, and military personnel Discusses emerging strategies to treat bone stress injuries, such as gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other non-pharmacological treatments |
| journal of bone mineral research: Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis Andrea Giustina, Alberto Angeli, Ernesto Canalis, F. Guaraldi, 2002 Osteoporosis is one of the most clinically relevant disabling chronic disease encountered in clinical practice. A common cause of osteoporosis is glucocorticoid excess, as glucocorticoids may increase bone resorption, inhibit bone formation, have indirect actions on bone by decreasing intestinal calcium absorption and induce hypercalciuria. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of glucocorticoids on bone metabolism and structure and on the diagnosis and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. It aims at providing updated information on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this often dramatic complication of glucocorticoid excess. Being one of the few publications completely devoted to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis it will heighten the awareness of specialists who prescribe glucocorticoids of the clinical relevance of this treatment complication. 'Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis' is addressed to clinical experts as well as to general practitioners who will both benefit from the comprehensive and integrative view of the management of patients exposed to glucocorticoids. |
| journal of bone mineral research: Brain and Skeletal Systems Leondes, 1997-09-01 The field of brain and skeletal medical imaging has been revolutionized by new techniques in powerful computations, image processing and modalities such as computer-aided tomography and magnetic resonance, among others. It is therefore an appropriate topic to be included in this series that studies the marriage of computer capabilities and medical imaging, which exemplifies a significant manifestation of relatively recent, valuable technologies known as the second industrial revolution. A few of the issues specifically studied in this book are the advantages of MRI for brain image processing over CAT and PET techniques; applications of image processing for the diagnosis, treatment and study of brain tumors; the connection between pathological changes in brain tissue associated with neurological disease; methods for consistently identifying and quantifying, in vivo, techniques in high resolution computed tomography to assess density and microstructure of intact bones in a single measurement; bone age assessment methods as an important procedure in diagnosing and managing endocrine disorders; and using fractals to model bone structure to aid diagnosis of osteoporosis. This book clearly reveals the effectiveness and great significance of the brain and skeletal imaging techniques and applications available and, with further development, the essential role they will play in the future. |

| journal of bone mineral research: Behaviour in our Bones Cara S. Hirst, Rebecca J. Gilmour, Francisca Alves Cardoso, Kimberly A. Plomp, 2023-02-07 Exploring behaviour through bones has always been a fascinating topic to those that study human remains. Human bodies record and store vast amounts of information about the way we move, where we live, and our experiences of health and socioeconomic circumstances. We see it every day, and experience it, but when it comes to past populations, understanding behaviour is largely mediated by our ability to read it in bones. Behaviour in Our Bones: How Human Behaviour Influences Skeletal Morphology examines how human physical and cultural actions and interactions can be read through careful analyses of skeletal human remains. This book synthesises the latest research on reconstructing behaviour in the past. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific region of the human body, guiding the reader from head to toe and highlighting how evidence found on the skull, shoulder, thorax, spine, pelvis, and the upper and lower limbs has been used to infer patterns of activity and other behaviour. Chapter authors expertly summarise and critically discuss a range of methodological, theoretical, and interpretive approaches used to read skeletal remains and interpret a wide variety of behaviours, including tool use, locomotion, reproduction, health, pathology, and beyond. - Serves as a comprehensive resource for readers who are new to human skeletal behaviour investigations - Offers an overview on how behaviour may impact the entire skeleton (from head to toe) - Discusses activities that can leave evidence on the human skeleton and how behaviour can become incorporated in bone - Introduces methods that biological anthropologists use to quantify and interpret skeletal evidence for behaviour and its range of morphological variation - Critically examines the current state of skeletal behaviour research and provides recommendations for future work in this field |

| journal of bone mineral research: Foundations and Applications of Medical Biochemistry in Clinical Practice John Neustadt Nd, Steve Pieczenik, 2009 The culmination of more than ten years of research by the authors, this book describes for the first time ever the scientific basis and clinical applications of medical biochemistry, a fundamental paradigm shift in medicine. This paradigm shift is so revolutionary that it has been called the Neustadt-Pieczenik Paradigm, which is the fusion and clinical applications of biochemistry, thermodynamics, physiology, fractal enzymology, nutritional medicine and laboratory testing to identify and correct the underlying causes of many diseases that are considered genetic in nature (eg, Phenylketonuria) and those that are not considered genetic (eg, mature onset asthma, depression, fatigue). In this new medicine, doctors must reject the failed, purely symptomatic treatments they learned in medical school and focus on learning and treating the underlying biochemical causes of disease. From the first documented clinical observations of biochemical individuality in the early 1900s to the development of sophisticated biochemical tests, the authors provide a detailed and stunning analysis of a new medical model to help millions and cure our ailing healthcare system. They uniquely contrast the conventional medical approach with the functional biochemical approach through extensive case studies on depression, arthritis, migraine headaches, seizures, rashes and more. This book is a must-read for physicians, medical students, nutritionists, and anyone looking to take charge of their health. |

| journal of bone mineral research: Integrated Care and Fall Prevention in Active and Healthy Aging Eklund, Patrik, 2021-06-25 In today’s world, healthy aging and a fulfilling lifestyle are important to older members of society, with many opting to remain as independent and mobile as possible for as long as possible. However, elderly individuals tend to have a variety of functional limitations that can increase the likelihood of debilitating falls and injuries. Assessments of functionality are very often only performed following an accident, which implies a hindsight bias because results do not necessarily reflect pre-accidental performance capacities. Furthermore, these belated measures do little to reduce the likelihood of new falls. As such, it is imperative that personalized preventative approaches are taken to prevent falls. Integrated Care and Fall Prevention in Active and Healthy Aging contains state-of-the-art research and practices related to integrated care, fall prevention, and aging throughout areas ranging from medical to social aspects of care, health economy, standards, pathways and information scopes, practices and guidelines, technology, etc. Covering topics such as active care and healthy aging, it is ideal for doctors, gerontologists, nursing home and long-care facility staff, scientists, researchers, students, academicians, and practitioners working in care pathways involving good practices of fall prevention in home care and community care settings. |

| journal of bone mineral research: Advances in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Osteoporosis: From Bench to Bedside Dasheng Lin, Mario Barbagallo , Eduardo Abreu, 2025-06-05 Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by bone loss, microstructural damage, decreased bone mass, and an increased risk of fracture. This condition primarily results from weakened bone formation and increased bone resorption due to various factors. With the global population aging, the incidence of osteoporosis is on the rise. It is recognized as a critical public health issue, particularly affecting the health of middle-aged and elderly individuals due to its insidious symptoms and the high risk of fractures it entails. Globally, an osteoporotic fracture occurs approximately every three seconds, encompassing vertebral fractures, hip fractures, distal forearm fractures, and more. Particularly concerning is the one-year mortality rate of individuals who experience hip fractures, reaching 20% due to various complications. Furthermore, about 50% of survivors face disability, rendering them unable to care for themselves and significantly diminishing their quality of life. This results in a substantial increase in the social and economic burden. Despite these challenges, osteoporosis remains inadequately recognized, and current drug and surgical treatments have limitations. Consequently, addressing osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures presents an ongoing challenge. Therefore, this Research Topic invites researchers to delve into the latest advancements in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures, with the aim of overcoming current obstacles. We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: - Research on the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, including clinical studies, basic research, and biomechanical investigations. - Advances in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures, encompassing drug therapy, surgical interventions, and applications of polymer materials. |
