Filter by:The study will be a multi-center, randomized, open label, parallel trial conducted in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with glucocorticoids. After signing the informed consent, all patients will be screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Estimated 314 eligible patients will be enrolled. The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either Eldecalcitol group or Alfacalcidol group in a 1:1 ratio and followed up for 12 months. On-site follow up visits will be conducted at Month 6 and 12 after enrollment. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Eldecalcitol in preventing glucocorticoid-induced bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
to evaluate bone mineral density in children with graves' disease
Aim: To estimate the effect of daily optimal efficacy dose (OED) of Jarlsberg cheese in patients with Osteopeni (OP). Study population: Post-menopausal women and men above 55 years of age in risk of Osteoporosis Treatment: Daily OED Jarlsberg cheese + vitamin D and Calcium tablets. Design: An open and one-armed observational study. Main variables: Bone Mineral Density (BMD), Bone turnover markers (BTMs), Osteocalcin and K2 vitameres. Study Procedure: Prior to inclusion in this study, all the patients have undergone 32 days of daily OED intake of Jarlsberg cheese + vitamin D and caicium tablets. Thid is the baseline of this observational study. The duration of this study is 12 months with clinical examination and bloodsampling after 6 and 12 months. Sample size: At least 16 patients will be included
Explore the bone metabolism characteristics of premature ovarian insufficiency.
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 hypothesis for this study is that oral Semaglutide, a GLP-1Ra, has a positive effect on the balance between build-up and degradation as well as the strength of the bones in men and women aged 50-85 years with type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of bone fractures. Treatment involves once daily oral GLP-1Ra semaglutide or matching placebo for 52 weeks. The effect will be measured by bone markers in blood samples, bone scans, bone tissue and bone marrow tests (bone marrow aspiration and biopsy), physical activity assessed by a questionnaire, and direct bone strength measured by microindentation at the start and end of the study.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of eldecalcitol in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) or mild osteoporosis through a randomized, open-label, parallel controlled trial with calcitriol as the control.
The aims of this study are to explore efficacy and safety of calcium from fish bone in volunteers with osteopenia. The volunteers are divided into 2 groups which are calcium from fish bone treatment group and calcium carbonate treatment group. Both groups received the calciums everyday for 6 months. Bone mineral density, blood examination, physical examination, adverse events, and satisfaction are evaluated before and after treatment.
Meniere's disease is a progressive and debilitating inner ear disease characterised by vertigo and hearing loss. Several studies have linked Menierws disease with lower bone density and lower vitamin D levels. In the current prospective study definite Meniere's patients will be followed over a period of 2 year, during which repetitive measurements of bone density, vitamin D plasma levels, blood pressure as well as hearing and vestibular tests will be made. Results will be compared to healthy controls.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the crestal bone loss developed around short dental implants after using screw retained Hybrid ceramic crowns when compare to screw retained Lithium Di silicate based ceramic crowns.
