Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a single dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-exercise markers of bone and muscle metabolism.
To test for a difference in the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of teriparatide (PTH 1-34), between healthy male and female volunteers matched to military recruits in training.
The main objective of this study is to find a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and stress fracture occurrences in athletes who participate in high-risk activities. These high-risk athletes undergo elevated bone turnover, which requires adequate levels of vitamin D in order to support bone health. It is hypothesized that providing supplemental treatment to athletes showing lower than normal serum vitamin D levels will decrease the occurrence of stress fractures. By recording the dates and specific occurrences of fractures, it may be possible to correlate injury rates with seasons, providing more supportive data to pre-existing literature. This area of research is lacking in the quantity of prospective studies. Previous studies primarily focus on adolescent, elder, or military recruit populations. While literature has shown that vitamin D plays an important role in bone health, there are no previous studies that directly examine vitamin D deficiency and supplemental treatment in conditioned collegiate athlete populations. This study will add to the existing knowledge and will provide a more specific analysis for athletes.
Post Market clinical outcomes study to collect data on the short - and long-term outcomes for subjects who are undergoing or who have undergone the Subchondroplasty Procedure in the foot and/or ankle in a standard clinical setting. Outcomes to be assessed include pain medication usage, pain, function, activity levels and patient satisfaction.
One hundred infantry recruits will be randomly assigned to two groups. Injuries will be monitored.
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in 5201 female Naval recruits. During 8 weeks of basic training, supplementation with 2000 mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D/day decreased incidence of stress fracture by 25%. The hypothesis was: Supplementation with calcium 2000 mg/d and vitamin D 800 IU/d will significantly reduce the incidence of stress fractures in female Navy recruits during 8 weeks of basic training.
