Filter by:this comparative clinical study is designed to demonstrate that LY06006 and EU-Prolia have no clinically meaningful differences in clinical efficacy, pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, PK, and immunogenicity in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
This study aims to assess the knowledge of primary care physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to observe the impact of a surgeon-driven bone health referral pathway following lower extremity arthroplasty. The main question this study aims to answer is: 1) What is impact of a surgeon-driven bone health referral pathway on implant-related complications and fragility fractures when compared to standard of care primary care provider referral. Researchers will compare the endocrinology referral pathway and standard of care to see if there is a difference in treatment rates, fragility fractures, and implant-related complications following lower extremity arthroplasty.
In osteoporosis, sarcopenia is a common condition. Sarcopenic measurements can be made by evaluating muscle thickness in different regions. We aim to evaluate lumbar muscle losses in patients with osteoporosis in the lumbar region and to examine whether these muscle losses are correlated with the level of osteoporosis. The patients will be divided into 3 groups as healthy, osteopenic and osteoporotic according to DEXA measurements. Demographic values, comorbidities, osteoporosis drugs used, fracture histories, L1-4, L2-4, femoral neck and total BMD and t values of the patients, psoas and multifidus muscle measurements will be made at L2-L3 level in Lumbar MR imaging. Lumbar MR muscle measurements will be made by 1 physician blind to the DEXA values of the patients.
Esophagectomy is most curative treatment to esophageal cancer. However, osteoporosis , which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after esophagectomy. At least 3 years should have elapsed since operation without recurrence of esophageal cancer.
Consumers are increasingly encouraged to consume more plant-based foods and lower their consumption of foods from animal origin. This shift is driven by environmental and health factors. However, the consequences of such a transition on muscle mass still remains to be explored. This is of particular importance in the older population, where the age-related reduction in muscle mass and strength is highly prevalent. Adequate dietary intake, specifically protein intake, is a well-known strategy in promoting muscle mass in older adults. Plant-based foods are currently considered to be inferior to animal-based foods in their protein quality, and are therefore considered to be suboptimal for the maintenance of muscle mass at an older age. On the other hand, combining plant-based foods may improve the protein quality and thereby the anabolic properties of a vegan meal. Evidence regarding the anabolic properties of vegan diets in older adults is scarce. As such, the current study aims to assess 1) the effects of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on thigh muscle volume (TMV) in community-dwelling older adults and 2) the effect of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet combined with twice-weekly resistance exercise (RE) on TMV in comparison to a self-composed vegan diet without resistance exercise in community-dwelling older adults.
The aim is to compare the daily intake of Calsium (Ca) + vitamin D with and without daily optimal efficacy dose (OED) of Jarlsberg on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone markers (BM) to Osteopeni patients (OP). - The study population consists of OP-patients of post-menopausal women and men above 55 years of age. OP patients are defined as patients with a T-score below 0.0, but larger than -2.5. - The study will be performed as a randomized, single-blinded Norwegian multicentre trial with stratified semi-cross-over design with gender and site as stratification factors. The OP-patients included in the study will be allocated to one of the two treatment groups by block randomization with random block size between 2 and 6. - Women in post-menopausal age have a daily OED Jarlsberg of 45 gram and men in the same age interval have a daily OED of 55 gram. - The main response variable will be the change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD),total Osteocalcin (tOC) and different bone markers (BM). - Participants, who fulfil the inclusion criteria, do not meet any of the exclusion criteria and willing to give informed consent to participate will be included and receiving 40µg vitamin D and 500 mg Ca tablets per day, but asked not to eat Jarlsberg cheese the following week. During this week demographic data, bloodsampling for measurement of Osteocalcin and BM and diet registration will be performed.In the clinical study, all the included patients will continue with Ca+ vitamin D, but half of the patient will additionally receive daily OED of Jarlsberg cheese. After 16 weeks, all the patients will receive both Ca+vitamin D and OED of Jarlsberg for addionally 16 weeks. The total duration of the study will be 32 weeks for the patients initially allocated to Jarlsberg and 48 weeks for those allocated only to Ca+vitamin D. The patients will be investigated initially and every 16 weeks. - A total of 30 patients will be included in each of the two groups.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of romosozumab on bone formation and breakdown (resorption) and determine if romosozumab is a safe treatment for osteoporosis and myeloma-related bone disease (MBD) in postmenopausal people with multiple myeloma (MM).
Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
