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
Role of Osteoblasts in Regulation of Energy MetabolismSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 2-10 - 2012
Barbara C. Silva, Stavroula Kousteni
Diseases of compromised glucose metabolism, such as type II diabetes, have been for years correlated with defects in bone mass or strength. However, a reverse regulation of energy homeostasis by the skeleton was not suspected until very recently. A series of genetic studies have demonstrated that the skeleton regulates glucose metabolism and energy expenditure in an endocrine manner. The bone-deri...... 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 ...... hiện toàn bộ
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 effe...... hiện toàn bộ
