Are women living with HIV prone to osteoporosis in postmenopause? A systematic review

SUMMARY BACKGROUND Some researchers have suggested that HIV infections can increase the cytokines, which might interfere with the bone metabolism and increase the risk of bone mass loss. However, this issue has yet to be consolidated in postmenopausal women. OBJECTIVE To analyze studies that evaluate...

Statins and bonehealth: a mini review

Actual. osteol; 14 (1), 2018
Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications that inhibit similar pathways as the anti-resorptive bisphosphonate drugs. Statins target the mevalonate pathway by blocking HMG-CoA reductase. Several recent meta-analyses concluded statins are osteoprotective in the general population. Here we presen...

Estudio comparativo de la absorción neta de calcio de dos formulaciones distintas de carbonato de calcio en mujeres posmenopáusicas
Comparative study of net calcium absorption of two different pharma¬ceutical formulations of calcium carbonate in posmenopausal women

Actual. osteol; 14 (1), 2018
La suplementación con calcio reduciría, sola o asociada a otra medicación para osteoporosis, la pérdida de masa ósea y el riesgo de fracturas. Sin embargo, su tasa de adherencia es baja debido a la poca tolerancia. Objetivo: comparar la tasa de absorción neta de calcio entre dos formulaciones disti...

Agreement between dual x-ray absorptiometers using pencil beam and fan beam: indicators of bone health and whole-body plus appendicular tissue composition in adult athletes

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The current study was aimed to examine intra-individual variation on indicators of bone health in addition to whole-body plus appendicular tissue measurements using two concurrent assessments based on pencil beam and fan beam dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) systems in adult ath...

Association of Severity of Coronary Lesions with Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (3), 2018
Abstract Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and osteoporosis (OP) are common diseases in postmenopausal women. In both cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiologic studies, low bone mass has been related to increased frequency of CAD. However, available data on the relationship between bone min...

Progranulin concentration in relation to bone mineral density among obese individuals

ABSTRACT Objective Adipose tissue, particularly visceral adipose tissue, secretes a variety of cytokines, among which progranulin is a glycoprotein related to the immune system. Along with other secreted proteins, progranulin may be associated with bone mineral density. The aim of this study was to find...

TSH-receptor antibodies may prevent bone loss in pre- and postmenopausal women with Graves' disease and Graves' orbitopathy

ABSTRACT Objective Thyrotoxicosis is established risk factor for osteoporosis due to increased bone turnover. Glucocorticoids often administered for Graves' orbitopathy (GO) have additional negative effect on bone mineral density (BMD). Our aim was to examine the influence of thyroid hormones, TSH, TSH-...

Osteoporosis primaria: estratificación del riesgo de fractura en la atención primaria

Med. leg. Costa Rica; 35 (1), 2018
Resumen La osteoporosis es una enfermedad esquelétita caracterizada por compromiso en la fuerza ósea, que predispone a fracturas de fragilidad. El diagnóstico de la osteoporosis se establece tanto por fracturas de bajo impacto, así como por medio de la densitometría ósea....
