Background: Childhood rheumatic diseases are associated with reduced Bone mass and increased risk of fractures (1). Several factors may interact to determine osteoporosis other than direct bone detrimental effects the disease or its treatment. Objectives: In this work, we aimed investigate prevalence loss in patients JIA relative during chronic disease. Methods: A retrospective monocentric stud...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, we evaluated all patients referred to a single rheumatology clinic for bone mineral density measurements from 2009 to 2010. all patients who had bone mineral density measurements taken from the hip, lumbar spine, forearm, and whole body were enrolled in the study. standard bone mineral density measurements were performed using a dual energy x-...

osteoporosis is a major public health problem in iran. bone densitometry is used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis and if necessary, prevent bone fractures, especially that of femoral neck. bone density is related to several factors including race, age, sex, environmental factors and nutrition. no comprehensive study has been performed in iran, yet. among the 10 to 75 year-old population ...

Objective: Increased risk of osteoporosis in patients with diabetes is confirmed. However, earlier biomarker as a diagnostic tool for diabetic osteopenia and osteoporosis is absent on clinical diagnosis. Osteoinductive factor (OIF) is known to be an essential component of the bone matrix. We aimed to investigate the relationship between OIF and 2 diabetes mellitus in combination with osteopenia...

UNLABELLED Many fractures occur in women with moderate fracture risk caused by osteopenia. Strontium ranelate was studied in 1431 postmenopausal women with osteopenia. Vertebral fracture risk reduction of 41-59% was shown depending on the site and fracture status at baseline. This is the first report of antivertebral fracture efficacy in women with vertebral osteopenia. INTRODUCTION Women wit...

Aim to assess the prevalence of low muscle mass and bone density in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), depending on level glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
 Material methods.The study included 187 (mean age 65.16 4.31 years), who were tested for fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, osteocalcin (OC), procollagen 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), C-terminal I collagen telopeptides (B-CTX), 25-h...

background celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder which causes malabsorption in genetically susceptible patients who consume gluten. celiac disease is not limited to the gastrointestinal system, and exhibits different signs and symptoms in other organs. malabsorption of calcium and vitamin d can cause osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. celiac disease is no longer a rare disease a...

Osteopenia (osteopenic syndrome) and osteoporosis (OP) are among the frequent highly disabling conditions that accompany development of rheumatic diseases (RD), including juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Changes in requirements for diagnosis treatment children with JIA according to strategy achieve goal (treat target) have led a decrease frequency manifestations OP patients RD. The conditio...
