Genetics plays an important role in establishing susceptibility to
nephrolithiasis, although diet and other environmental factors make major
contributions. In a small number of patients, the genetic causes of stones are
more clearly established. Four of these hereditary diseases include primary
hyperoxaluria, Dent disease, cystinuria, and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase
deficiency, which results... hiện toàn bộ
Bone Disease and Idiopathic HypercalciuriaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 82-94 - 2008
Joseph E. Zerwekh
There is sufficient epidemiological and clinical data demonstrating an
association between reduced bone mineral density and idiopathic hypercalciuria
(IH). There have been relatively few studies that have addressed the underlying
defect in bone remodeling. The limited studies to date suggest that increased
bone turnover occurs in some forms of IH such as fasting hypercalciuria or renal
calcium lea... hiện toàn bộ
Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis and the New ACR GuidelineSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 123-127 - 2017
Robert A. Adler
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) continues to be the most common cause
of secondary osteoporosis because at any time about 1% of the adult population
has been prescribed oral glucocorticoids. Surprisingly, there are relatively few
treatment studies of GIOP, particularly of younger individuals including women
of child bearing potential and children. Thus, recommendations for management of... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence-based practices for safe patient handling and movementSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 55-69 - 2006
Nelson, Audrey, Baptiste, Andrea S.
Efforts to reduce injuries associated with patient handling are often based on
tradition and personal experience rather than scientific evidence. The purpose
of this article is to summarize current evidence for interventions designed to
reduce caregiver injuries, a significant problem for decades. Despite strong
evidence, published over three decades, the most commonly used strategies have
demonst... hiện toàn bộ

Forward: A Fresh Look at Measuring and Altering Bone QualitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 131-132 - 2016
Matthew R. Allen
This special issue of Clinical Reviews in Bone and Mineral Metabolism presents a
series of review articles on how bone quality is measured and how it is altered
by intervention. These articles highlight the great progress that has been made
over the past three decades to define and study bone quality. The stage is now
set to harness these concepts of bone quality for development of new approaches

Selective estrogen receptor modulatorsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 19-30 - 2005
Nicole M. Petersen, Amber L. Briggs
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) competitively bind to estrogen
receptors to act as agonists or antagonists in certain tissues, distinguishing
the various available SERMS. Although tamoxifen, toremifene, and additional new
compounds are discussed briefly, raloxifene is the only SERM currently indicated
for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women. The

Gap Junctions and Biophysical Regulation of Bone CellsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 189-200 - 2011
Shane A. J. Lloyd, Henry J. Donahue
Communication between osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes is integral to
their ability to build and maintain the skeletal system and respond to physical
signals. Various physiological mechanisms, including nerve communication,
hormones, and cytokines, play an important role in this process. More recently,
the important role of direct, cell–cell communication via gap junctions has been
establi... hiện toàn bộ
