Filter by:The purpose of this study was to block the posterior branch of lumbar spinal nerve during PKP operation and compare it with the patients without spinal nerve block, so as to verify the effect of posterior branch block of spinal nerve in relieving short-term and long-term residual low back pain after operation.
Background: Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health issue. They cause substantial disability, loss of autonomy, morbidity and excess mortality. Diabetes is also associated with increased risk for falls and fractures through a direct impact of elevated blood glucose on the skeleton and on muscles. Research project overview: The investigators propose a cross-sectional study that will involve 2 research centers in the province of Quebec. The investigators will recruit 20 obese participants, without diabetes, who have not undergone bariatric surgery, for one-time measurements to be compared with baseline measurements (pre-surgery) from participants in the bariatric obese diabetic groups with type II diabetes mellitus from the ongoing study BODI study (NCT03455868). Bone Mineral Density as well as muscle quality, strength and function will be evaluated at a single study visit. Relevance: This data will permit the evaluation of the bone-muscle unit in patients with obesity with and without diabetes, and assess whether the presence and duration of diabetes impacts further on clinical and functional musculoskeletal outcomes (falls, fractures and mobility and strength) in this population. AGEs, if associated with muscle and bone deterioration, might become an easily accessible biomarker of musculoskeletal health in the clinical setting.
The management of osteoporotic fractures has recently changed with the emergence of new programs dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. For example, the Fracture Network of the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group, created in 2015, identifies and ensures the care of patients who have consulted emergency rooms for osteoporotic fractures. Within this sector, the vertebral fracture (VF) appears to be the most frequent (22.4%) ahead of other fracture sites, confirming the results of other studies that consider VF as a real public health problem. Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) have certain specificities compared to other osteoporotic fractures, encouraging particular interest.
This is an observational and cross-sectional study on the height loss, kyphosis indicators, bone mineral density and vertebral fractures in Chinese postmenopausal women
The objective of this study is to measure the early effects of abaloparatide on tissue-based bone formation using samples obtained by transiliac crest bone biopsy after quadruple fluorochrome labeling.
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem. Its screening and its treatment remain largely insufficient while therapies have demonstrated their effectiveness. In the event of a severe fracture, the update of the 2016/2017 recommendations, prepared by the Research and Information Group on Osteoporosis and the French Rheumatology Society, concerning osteoporosis recommends a specific treatment with bisphosphonates as first-line treatment, without bone densitometry, regardless of age. The frequency of prescribing anti-osteoporotic treatment as an outpatient after a fracture of the upper extremity of the femur is very low (2% to 21% according to the studies). The main factors associated with non-prescription found are co-morbidities (charlson score> 6), dementia, obesity (BMI> 30), chronic alcoholism, male sex, polypharmacy> 4, age. Conversely, the factors associated with prescribing are recurrent falls (> 2 / year), a history of osteoporotic fracture, an Iso Resource Group> 3, female sex, and corticosteroid therapy.
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Its association with osteroporosis and fragility fracture is now clearly demonstrated, but the determinants of this osteoporosis are yet to be explained. Our aim was to study factors associated with volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microstructure at the tibia and radius in IPD.
In the proposed trial the investigators will recruit women and men >65 years of age with acute osteoporosis-related pelvic fractures and address 3 specific aims over 3 months of treatment in a placebo controlled double blind study to determine if standard care and teriparatide 20 mcg/day versus placebo for pelvic fractures: 1. Results in earlier evidence of cortical bridging on routine radiographs followed by confirmatory Focus CT, a novel method to reduce radiation exposure from CT scans (primary outcome). 2. Leads to a faster reduction in pain as assessed by both the Numeric Rating Scale and a reduction in the use of narcotics (secondary outcome). 3. Leads more rapidly to improved functional outcome using a short physical performance battery to assess lower extremity function (secondary outcome).
Evaluate the support of osteoporosis in women over 50 years with severe osteoporotic fractures (hip, vertebral, rib, Humeral, pelvic fractures) in the Nîmes University Hospital taking prediction of treatment of osteoporosis as criterion.
This study aims to create a database of patients with stable and chronic heart failure with comprehensive assessment of bone, skeletal and vascular status. RoC-HF will facilitate cross-sectional and, eventually, longitudinal mechanistic epidemiological analyses to disentangle the role of the bone- vascular axis in chronic heart failure. Blood and urine samples will be stored to facilitate future biomarker analyses.
