Filter by:This prospective, single-site, single arm pilot study aims to assess the efficacy of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) exposure in the reduction of the decline in muscle strength, function and bone mineral density (BMD) in osteosarcopenia.
This is a 12 months, randomized, multicenter, open-label, parallel-group study in postmenopausal women and male aged 50 years or old with osteoporosis or osteopenia in China to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different anti-osteoporpsis intervention strategies.
This multi-center, randomized and exploratory clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effect of bone metabolism and blood sugar of evogliptin and dapagliflozin in the menopause female patients with osteopenia and type 2 diabetes. The trial will evaluate bone metabolism (bone markers and bone density) and blood sugar (AGE and glucose variability) after 12 weeks and 48 weeks. This clinical trial conducts in two arms, and each arm recruits 60 subjects.
Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: - Group 60: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 60cm - Group 100: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 100cm Bone mineral density will be evaluated before surgery and 2 years after it.
Patients suffering from acute renal colic are evaluated by non contrast computerized tomography with excellent identification rates of urinary stones. The scan also covers the bones of the ribs, spine and pelvis, allowing measurements of the bone density and identifying early osteopenic changes. Bone demineralization is associated with metabolic changes such as hypercalcemia or hypercalcuria. In this study the investigators will look for correlation between kidney stones, osteopenic bone changes and metabolic abnormalities.
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) patients are at high risk of development of reduced bone mineral density due to impairment of functional status due to the disease and a relatively high dose of glucocorticoid use for the treatment. Reduced bone mineral density is prevalent in local IIMs patients. Denosumab and zoledronic acid are established treatments for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. However, the role of these treatments in reduced bone mineral density including osteoporosis and osteopenia related to IIMs are lacking. There is also no evidence on comparing the efficacy of the two agents. Therefore, the investigators conducted this prospective randomized controlled study to compare the efficacies of denosumab and zoledronic acid in treating reduced bone mineral density in IIMs patients. The hypothesis in this study is that treatment by denosumab or zoledronic acid would improve bone mineral density in IIMs patients with reduced bone mineral density.
This clinical report describes a technique for ridge splitting, and gradual expansion in the maxilla with simultaneous implant placement with in the split ridge, with the preservation of the thin buccal plate of bone for proper blood supply.
This study evaluates the efficacy of the probiotic food supplement Vivomixx in the prevention of bone loss occurring in post menopausal women with breast cancer treated with an aromatase inhibitor. Half of the participants will receive Vivomixx while the other half will receive a placebo. The primary endpoint is to assess changes of bone turnover markers during the period of 6 months.
The study will be conducted at Assiut university children hospital and it will include patients with history of repeated fractures due to mild or irrelevant trauma. Diagnosis will be established by biochemical tests, bone survey to exclude secondary causes followed by Dual Energy absorbiometry scan to detect bone density of selected cases then confirm our diagnosis by detection of gene mutations of Osteogenesis imperfecta during one and half year duration with starting zoledronic acid therapy during this duration.
