Filter by:A study was designed with two specific aims: (1) to assess the effect of soy bread, compared with wheat bread, on markers of bone metabolism and cardiovascular health, and (2) to evaluate whether soy bread consumption affects the metabolism of phytoestrogens. To answer Aim 1, a double-blind randomized crossover trial was conducted. Individuals with an ability to metabolize a specific isoflavone, daidzein, consumed 3 slices of bread (either soy or wheat) daily over a 12-week period. After a 4-week wash-out period, subjects consumed 3 slices/day of the other type of bread. Markers of bone metabolism and cardiovascular health were evaluated before and after each time period. To answer Aim 2, individuals who did not metabolize daidzein at baseline entered a double-blind randomized trial of soy bread with or without fructooligosaccharide (a type of dietary fiber) over an 8-week period. Subjects were evaluated regarding their ability to metabolize daidzein to equol.
This methodology trial will be conducted in patients with osteoporosis and will measure the changes in bone quality parameters, micro- and macroarchitecture, bone biomarkers and bone density following therapy with the approved drug, Forteo.
The objective is to show superior efficacy of PTH (1-84) over risedronate in treating osteoporotic women for 12 months after having previously been treated with PTH (1-84) for 12 months followed by 12 months treatment with risedronate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adequacy of zoledronic acid in maintaining bone mass after two years of treatment with Forteo, in postmenopausal women.
The aim of the ROCQ programme is to improve the use of evidence based osteoporosis diagnostic and treatment strategies for women 50 years and over who have suffered a fragility fracture. This objective will be achieved by concentrating on a realistic evaluation of the present diagnosis and treatment rate of osteoporosis following a fragility fracture and comparing it to an optimal situation (care gap) and proposing interventions that promote new approaches to treating osteoporosis by health professionals as well as providing targeted interventions for the patient. The efficacy of these interventions will be evaluated using a randomized control design.
To confirm the non-inferiority of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate tablets taken daily in increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. To confirm the efficacy of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in increasing bone mass in proximal femur, femoral neck and femoral trochanter and decreasing bone resorption. To confirm general safety of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate taken daily.
The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of supplementation with both calcium and vitamin D on changes in bone density of the hip in men and women age 65 and older.
There is increasing evidence that the acid-base balance of diet plays an important role in the health of bones and muscles. An excess of acid in the body can result in calcium loss and muscle breakdown. Potassium bicarbonate, a base supplement, can neutralize acid within the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of potassium and bicarbonate, alone and combined, at reducing bone loss and preventing muscle wasting in older adults.
RATIONALE: Learning about the effect of exemestane and anastrozole on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer may help plan treatment, decrease the risk of broken bones, and help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer who are receiving treatment on clinical trial CAN-NCIC-MA27.
To confirm the superiority of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo in maintaining or increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in osteopenic postmenopausal women To confirm the efficacy of 5 mg daily risedronate in osteopenic postmenopausal women in maintaining or increasing bone mass in proximal femur and decreasing bone resorption To confirm general safety of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo
