Filter by:To evaluate the effect of estrogen treatment on adipocytic and osteoblastic parameters by histomorphometrically measuring adipocyte volume (AV/TV) and adipocyte numbers in goldner's stained iliac crest bone biopsy specimens collected from subjects recruited in the study (IRB number 21B85). The adipocytic parameters will be then correlated with osteoblastic parameters obtained previously during the course of the initai study involving the effect of transdermal estrogen on bone turnover in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
This study will investigate if the drug zoledronic acid given once yearly is safe and has beneficial effects in treating osteoporosis by reducing bone loss and fractures in men with osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of zoledronic acid administered at the same time with teriparatide compared to zoledronic acid alone and teriparatide alone on bone mineral density (BMD) gain in the lumbar spine and total hip
RATIONALE: Zoledronate may reduce bone loss in patients receiving letrozole for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well zoledronate works in treating osteopenia or osteoporosis in postmenopausal women receiving letrozole for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA primary breast cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy of teriparatide based on measurements of bone mineral density at lumbar spine
The purpose of this study is to determine wether a falls prevention program can reduce fall incidence in people with osteoporosis.
This study will compare the effects of Zoledronic acid and Raloxifene in reducing bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density over 6 months.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of two different group-based exercise programs on fall risk (muscular strength and balance) and bone strength in older women aged over 65-75 years who have low bone mass. We are also trying to determine if once a week exercise is as effective on health outcomes as twice a week. We hypothesize that twice a week exercise will be more effective than once a week or sham exercise.
Women and men consuming a low protein diet may be at risk for bone loss. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a daily protein supplement will improve bone health among healthy older adults.
The purpose of this study is to develop and implement an evidence based protocol for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures and falls, and to determine how compliance with this intervention improves muscle strength and functional status following a fracture.
