Filter by:The goal of this retrospective/observational study is to compare the clinical outcomes between the high-cumulative-dose group and the low- cumulative-dose group of oral/inhaled corticosteroid in the long-term management of asthma patients. The main hypothesis are: i. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of osteoporosis/osteoporosis in the long-term management of adult asthma. ii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid can affect populations that have a high-risk of osteoporosis (females over 50 years of age). iii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in the long-term management of adult asthma. iv. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid affects bone metabolism-related diagnostic tests and laboratory values and the prescription rate of bone metabolism-related medications.
imbalance is a common problem in hemodialysis patients with osteopneia, biodex training is a good device that treat imbalance
The aim of this study will be to assess the effectiveness of monitored vit D supplementation in a population of preterm infants and to identify whether the proper vit D supplementation in preterm infants can reduce the incidence of neonatal sepsis and incidence of metabolic bone disease.
The clinical study aims to investigate the effect of the intravenously administrated amylin analogue (pramlintide) on the circulating levels of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) (a marker of bone resorption) and N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP) (a marker of bone formation) in individuals with type 1 diabetes and matched healthy controls during fasting euglycemic conditions.
The objective of this study is to examine if calcium and vitamin D supplements and/or prune can prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women.
studying the relationship between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and, Quality of Life with CP can provide valuable insights into the musculoskeletal consequences of motor impairments and guide interventions to improve bone health. Statement of the problem Is there a relation between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and Quality of Life in children with CP ? Purpose of the study To study the relationship between: 1. Bone Mineral Density and Gross Motor Function in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children. 2. Bone Mineral Density and Quality of Life in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children. 3. Gross Motor Function and Quality of Life in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children.
The goal of this pilot study is to investigate the effect of an evidence-based adherence promoting intervention on exercise adherence of patients with osteoporosis. For this reason, a randomized controlled pilot trial with an intervention period of three months will be conducted. Question I: To which extent does an adherence-promoting intervention (AERO) have an effect on adherence to long-term exercise programs in patients with osteoporosis compared to conventional standard care with home-based exercise therapy? Objective II: Does the AERO Intervention influence fall risk factors such as functional lower extremity strength and fear of falling compared to conventional standard care plus home-based exercise therapy in patients with osteoporosis? Patients will be randomized to two groups: an intervention and a control group. Both groups will receive instructions for a home exercise program (HEP) during six physical therapy (PT) sessions. The intervention group will receive a HEP and additionally the so-called AERO (Adherence for Exercise Rehabilitation in Older people) intervention within 6 PT-Sessions. The AERO program is a feasible intervention for boosting the exercise adherence of older people. The AERO intervention is an evidence-based adherence promoting intervention approach to help patients adhere to an exercise program. The control group will receive six PT sessions as "standard care". In regular clinical practice in Germany "standard care" for people with osteoporosis include measures such as home exercise programs, mobilisations, soft tissue techniques, or training with gym equipment. This will be delivered based on each PT clinical reasoning with no additional motivation for adherence to the exercise program.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of surface characteristics and geometric design on marginal bone loss and bone quality in dental implants. Materials and Methods: A total of 378 implants from 114 patients were evaluated in this study using panoramic and periapical radiographs. Implants were categorized into 19 subgroups according to the jaw where they were placed, length, diameter, surface preparation, type of prosthetic superstructure, and neck design. Radiological evaluations were conducted based on radiographs obtained at the time of implant placement and 3 months after prosthetic loading. After obtaining measurements of marginal bone loss and fractal analysis data, the significance of differences between groups was statistically evaluated.
It was a prospective randomized controlled trial. A sample of 115 apparently healthy post-menopausal women(45 -75 years of age) randomized into four groups and received supplements of Ca, Vitamin D and Mg with or without enriched olive paste and with or without Vitamin C. Changes in calciregulatory hormone were evaluated at the beginning of the study, at 5 and 12 months . Blood levels of vitamin D, vitamin C, Ca, Mg, the lipid profile, anthropometric indices and bone density were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the new bone formation around a metal device in the femoral head in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures undergoing surgical treatment with nails. These surgeries have a high risk of fixation failure in patients with osteoporosis due to low bone quality. The main question we aim to answer are whether promoting new bone formation around the implant is possible with a bone graft substitute (CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler) and systemic osteoporosis drug (zoledronic acid) combination, which can strengthen the surgical fixation of the fracture. Participants will consist of patients suffering hip fracture and already scheduled for surgical treatment with a nail. One group will undergo conventional surgery. While the other group will also undergo the same surgery, they will receive CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler around the implant as a short, extra step during surgery. This will allow the researchers to see whether new bone is formed during a 6-month follow-up.
