Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess the effect of melatonin treatment in patients with osteopenia on BMD, muscle function, quality of life and calcium homeostasis.
This is a Monocentric, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Comparative, Phase IV Study, to compare the effects of Vildagliptin and Gliclazide MR on Markers of Bone Remodeling, Bone Mineral Density and Glycemic Variability in Postmenopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes. A total of 38 women with documented Type 2 Diabetes and menopause will be enrolled. The active treatment will include a 50 mg dose of vildagliptin OD twice a day. As comparator, gliclazide MR will be administered at a dose of 60 to 120 mg OD once a day.
Osteoporosis is the most common disease of bone and characterized firstly by low bone mass and secondly, impaired bone microarchitecture structure resulting in reduced strength and increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is divided into: primary (Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Osteoporosis & elderly and senile osteoporosis) and secondary. The most common form is postmenopausal osteoporosis. It occurs in women after menopause and is associated with decreased estrogen production, which normally occurs at this age women Osteoporosis usually occurs after age 50, it is very common in women than in men, and its frequency increases with advancing age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Risedronate, cholecalciferol combination tablet in patients with Osteoporosis.
To determine the clinical safety and efficacy of abaloparatide transdermal in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis as assessed by changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and serum markers of bone metabolism when compared to transdermal placebo and abaloparatide injection for 6 months of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the bone mineral density in male and female patients with HIV infection according to age groups. This will enable a practical approach to screening for osteoporosis and the management and prevention of fragility fractures in people with HIV. In addition, all risk factors commonly associated with fragility fractures and osteoporosis are collected, as is HIV drug history. Hence, as secondary outcomes, the associations with reduced bone mineral density can be ascertained.
The main objective of this observational study was to describe medication-taking behavior of patients treated with denosumab for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) at 12 and 24 months.
In the present study the aim was to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program and vitamin D supplementation in enhancing muscle mass and strength in community-dwelling older adults with osteopenia /osteoporosis. One hundred and forty-five individuals aged 65 years and above with documented osteopenia/osteoporosis were scanned for sarcopenia. The participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: Group 1-PA and vitamin D (n= 38), Group 2-PA(n=36), Group 3-vitamin D (n= 36) or Group 4-healthy lifestyle(n =35) for 16 weeks. The PA group received a 60-minute 3-day/week exercise programme, the vitamin D group received oral cholecalciferol 2000 IU/day and the control group was provided with health education using videotaped presentations, physician talks on topics concerning bone and muscle health. Body composition was measured DEXA. Vitamin D levels were measured and PA was measured using the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire. Physical performance was assessed using upper limb grip strength, walking speed and knee extension strength. All data was collected at baseline and at 4 months.
To determine the magnitude and rate of bone mass deficits following initiation of glucocorticoid therapy for the treatment of pediatric leukemia, rheumatic conditions and nephrotic syndrome, we propose a 6 year, prospective study in 12 academic, tertiary care centres across Canada. The investigators hypothesize that glucocorticoid-treated children with leukemia, rheumatic conditions and nephrotic syndrome will fail to accrue bone mass at a normal rate, and that deficits in mineral accrual will occur in a glucocorticoid dose- and duration-dependent fashion. We also hypothesize that the fracture incidence will increase with concomitant reductions in bone mass.
Soluble corn fiber (SCF) has been shown to enhance calcium utilization and bone properties in rats and in adolescent boys and girls.
