Описание: Retaining its emphasis on osteoporosis prevention, this text has been fully updated to include current information on bone biology and drug treatments, including bisphosphonates. Newer techniques such as the use of DXA for bone mineral measurements and MR and CT as diagnostic aids are discussed.

Описание: Taking an expansive perspective on osteoporosis and its ramifications, but with a central focus on the transition from diagnosis to treatment, rehabilitation and current management options, this practical guide discusses the most recent knowledge and literature on osteoporosis for the wide cross-section of professionals involved in treating this pervasive condition. It enables the physician or physician extender to develop a strategy for diagnosing osteoporosis, including detailed laboratory tests as well as imaging, interpreting findings, and determining options appropriate to the needs of individual patients. The material offers guidance on how to treat osteoporosis patients who are suffering from neurological conditions such as brain and spinal cord injuries, rheumatologic syndromes, peripheral neuropathies, gastrointestinal conditions, as well as cardiopulmonary, liver and kidney disorders, among others.
Additional chapters address management of osteoporosis in men, patients with advanced medical illnesses including various forms of cancer, organ failure and organ transplantation, pediatric onset of primary and secondary osteoporosis, and the female athlete triad. Covering the gamut of considerations presented by osteoporosis patients, Osteoporosis Rehabilitation: A Practical Approach is a timely, interdisciplinary resource for orthopedists, rehabilitation specialists, primary care physicians, nurses and any other professionals who bring their expertise to bear on the management of this common condition.

Описание: Beginning with a comprehensive definition of this widespread and debilitating disease, the authors of A Practical Guide to Osteoporosis then go on to describe its diagnosis through various techniques now available to msure bone density, before discussing the various forms of treatment available. The book will prove a valuable reference tool for the specialist as well as a practical guide for the general practitioner dealing with patients presenting with the disease. Further invaluable information is given through the inclusion of an Appendix listing reference ranges for bone mineral densitometry and biochemical markers.
Описание: The term Vitamin D designates a group of closely related seco-steroids with antirachitic activity. The two most important members of these are ergocalciferol
(vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). About 80 per cent of the vitamin D supply in man is produced in the skin and only 20 per cent is provided by nutrition.
The first
analogue of Vitamin D, dihydrotachysterol, was developed in the 1930s and used in the treatment of primary or secondary hypoparathyroidism. It then took 40 years to learn that Vitamin
D was not the biologically active principle for healing bone disease. It has to be hydroxylated in the liver at position 25 to build 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and then finally in the kidney at
position 1a to become 1a, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [= 1a, 25-(OH)2-D3].
Further generations of Vitamin D analogues have since been developed. The most important of
these are the so-called D hormone 1a, 25-(OH)2-D3 (= calcitriol) and its analogue alfacalcidol (= 1a-OH-D3) which are highly effective drugs for the treatment of renal bone disease.
Further successful indications for active Vitamin D analogues include hypoparathyroidism and osteomalacia.
With regards osteoporosis, the role of an insufficient Vitamin D
supply or impairment in activation was underestimated for a long time. A breakthrough was achieved with studies showing that the prevalence of mild to moderate vitamin D deficiency
was very high and increasing with age.

Описание: This new edition includes the most up-to-date information about the pathophysiology and new therapeutic alternatives for osteoporosis of advanced age. It is written by investigators (clinicians and basic scientists) in the field of aging bone research.
It was just recently that a new syndrome, osteoporosis of advanced age, was recognized as a new entity with its own pathophysiology and potential treatments. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that hip fractures are mostly a consequence of this process, and apart from the first edition of this book, there are few publications about this subject.
The first edition of this book demonstrated that there is a need to understand the particular features of osteoporosis in older persons, which is the main aim of this book. The institutions where the authors are affiliated are highly recognized as the main centers in aging bone research. As an innovation, the second edition includes some aspects of muscle and bone interaction focusing of the impact of age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) on the pathogenesis of falls and fractures in older persons. As in the previous edition, this book is expected to be the reference guide for geriatricians, gerontologists, and bone biologists as well as medical trainees in order to understand the mechanisms of senile osteoporosis with a practical approach to the treatment of its consequences.
