Filter by: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.
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has been published about the effectiveness for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures (OF) of the hospital-based fracture liaison services. AIM To assess the effectiveness of a primary care based intervention in the secondary prevention of OF. METHODOLOGY Prospective study of random clusters, defined at the primary-care trust (PCT) level. Total study follow-up 3 years. Sample size 1800 patients. DESCRIPTION To launch a defined strategy for the identification of OF. To carry out a primary care based intervention about lifestyle, diet and drug prescription, if needed, with an intensive follow-up in the intervention PCT vs treatment as usual in the control branch. ANALYSIS As the outcome are the new OF, a survival analysis will be done. Risk factors will be analyzed through Cox proportional hazard regression model stratified by age groups. Outcomes : - new OF ratio in intervention vs control areas. - maintenance of the adherence to the pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions proposed - assessment of cost-effectivity of the intervention
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.
The investigators' previous studies in 2014 and 2015 have demonstrated that among community-dwelling older adults with high osteoporotic fracture risks. many sarcopenia indices can be improved and bone mineral density (BMD) maintained with different exercise programs. In 2016, the investigators aim to determine the effects of 2 exercise interventions on posture corrections and further improvement of sarcopenic indices
The purpose of this research study is to find out if denosumab (Prolia®), an injection given in the arm under the skin every 6 months, works to treat bone loss and prevent it from worsening in older men and women (ages 65 and older) who have osteoporosis and reside in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
Although long-segment posterior spinal fixation might provide more rigid fixation, the procedure increases perioperative morbidities in the elderly. The present study reviews the results of short-segment decompression and reconstruction in thoracolumbar fragile fractures.
This is multiple center, prospective study aiming to investigate the tracking and outcome of patients attending Greek General hospitals with low-trauma fractures. Secondary end-points were to facilitate the implementation of coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention, and to monitor osteoporosis treatment initiation, osteoporosis treatment persistence at 12 months, compliance, and subsequent fractures.
The purpose of this study is to investigate patient related factors that contribute to increased risk of recurrent fractures and to investigate patient adherence to prescribed anti-osteoporotic drugs.
