The switch from tenofovir to abacavir seems to induce a positive effect on bone tissue, since bone turnover markers decreased. In addition, circulating sclerostin levels increased, a change associated with improved bone properties.
The tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) combines bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens and is designed not only to improve menopausal symptoms and vulvovaginal atrophy but also to prevent bone loss. Therefore, it maintains the benefits of estrogen … Leer más
Sequential antiresorptive therapy is recommended to maintain drug increases in bone mass and support secondary mineralization of the newly formed bone. Combination therapies of antiresorptives and anabolic agents have shown a significant increase in bone … Leer más
Our study is the first to demonstrate that reference point indentation is sensitive enough to reflect changes in cortical bone indentation following treatment with osteoporosis therapies in patients newly exposed to glucocorticoids.
Patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis without lithiasis present some urinary biochemical alterations. This would explain the lack of lithogenic activity, although low calcium excretion in 24-h urine samples is a protective factor against the loss of bone … Leer más
Although more information is needed for females, it seems that for males, swimming is associated with lower BMC and BMD.
J Bone Miner Res. 2015 Mar;30(3):436-48. doi: 10.1002/jbmr.2374. These findings suggest that osteocytic Cx43 channels play distinctive roles in the bone; hemichannels play a dominant role in regulating osteocyte survival, endocortical bone resorption, and periosteal … Leer más
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Mar;100(3):1018-27. doi: 10.1210/jc.2014-3096. Epub 2014 Dec 11. Although the use of a LSBMD Z-score threshold as part of the definition of osteoporosis in a child with VF does not appear … Leer más
Higher serum uric acid levels in men older than 50 years are positively associated with QUS parameters. These data might suggest a better bone quality in men with elevated serum uric acid values.
At 7 years, the cumulative incidences of new vertebral fractures were significantly lower in the bazedoxifene (6.4%) and bazedoxifene 20 mg (7.6%) groups than in the placebo group (9.9%); the relative risk reductions were 36.5% … Leer más
