Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The cost of managing osteoporotic fractures places a significant financial burden on the health-care system. To reduce the fracture burden, early identification of fracture risk is essential to allow early intervention. The limitations associated with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), such as limited sensitivity and specificity, cost, ionising radiation and accessibility, have resulted in the emergence of other technologies for assessing bone fragility. An example is the portable and non-ionising quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technology. The discriminatory power of

Abstract:

Low dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured bone mineral density (BMD) is used as an indicator of reduced bone strength and increased risk of fracture. BMD is widely used to identify patients for fracture prevention treatment. However, many fracture patients are not osteoporotic and would not have been identified by BMD screening. Also, BMD screening vastly overpredicts the number of patients who will progress to fracture. In summary, there is a need to improve explanation and prediction of femoral fracture. The overall aim of this thesis was to develop a finite element (FE) methodolog

Abstract:

Background: The global burden of osteoporosis includes considerable numbers of fractures, morbidity, mortality and expenses, due mainly to vertebral, hip and forearm fractures. Underdiagnosis and undertreatment are common. Several studies have shown decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after osteoporotic fracture, but there is a lack of data from long-term follow-up studies, particularly regarding vertebral fractures, which are often overlooked despite patients reporting symptoms.

Bone is refractory to most conventional biochemical Procedures. However because it is now possible to cut sections (e. g. lopm) of fresh, undemineralized adult bone, this tissue can be analyzed by suitably modified methods of quantitative cytochemistry.

Sweden and Norway have the worldwide highest incidence of osteoporotic fractures. As these fractures constitute a tremendous and growing problem, primary prevention is of great importance. The principal causes of an osteoporotic fracture are a fall and a fragile skeleton. The aim of the studies reported in these papers was therefore to determine the genetic and environmental influences on fractures and the genetic influence on the two main reasons to the emergence of osteoporotic fractures; bone mineral density and propensity to fall.

The main focus of bone loss and Osteoporosis (OP) research has been limited almost entirely to women, but OP has become increasingly common in older men and the impact of hip fracture on mortality may actually be greater in men. OP is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, at a cost that currently exceeds $10 billion per year in the United States (US) alone. Osteoporotic fractures affect 50 % of women and 20-30% of white men and 4% of black men over the age of 50 years. These statistics may even increase because of increasing life expectancy.

Abstract:

Osteoporosis and depression are prevalent among older postmenopausal women 65 years or older. Bisphosphonates (BPs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are commonly used medications to treat these conditions. Inhibitory effects of BPs on osteoclasts are responsible for the reduction in fracture risk. SSRIs, however, are associated with increased fracture risk through decreasing osteoblasts and increasing osteoclastic activity. These effects of SSRIs could attenuate the beneficial effects of BPs.

We conducted a case-control study on subjects aged 70 years and older enrolled in the Quebec health insurance plan between 1992 and 1994. Incident cases of an osteoporotic fracture (index event) were identified by ICD-9 codes and surgical procedure codes. Exposure defined as one or more prescriptions of oral anticoagulants dispensed before the index event. Ten controls for each case, matched by age and dat

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis was a preliminary investigation of nutritional and biochemical factors which may be implicated in ethnic differences in fracture risk. Investigation of polymorphic loci of the vitamin D receptor gene revealed that the frequency of B and t alleles was considerably greater in the British subjects than in their Gambian or Chinese counterparts (p<0.001). The frequency of the "s" allele of the polymorphic SP1 binding site in the collagen 1α1 gene was also considerably greater in the British subjects than in the Gambian (p<0.02) or Chinese (p<0.001) subjects. The vitamin K sta

Abstract:

Abstract Genetic factors and their resulting phenotypes were evaluated in three different bone disorders: osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), juvenile idiopathic osteoporosis (JIO), and stress fractures. The spectrum of the OI phenotypes caused by mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes is well defined, but the mechanisms by which the variations affect the hearing phenotype are not well-known. A total of 54 Finnish OI patients with previously diagnosed hearing loss, or aged 35 or more years, were analyzed here for mutations in COL1A1, or COL1A2. Altogether, 49 mutations were identified, of which 4

Abstract:

Hip fracture is the most common reason for admission to an orthopaedic trauma word. It is usually a 'Fragility' fracture caused by a fall affecting an older person with osteoporosis or osteopenia (a condition in which bones lose calcium and become thinner, but not as much as in osteoporosis). The National Hip Fracture Database worldwide reports the average age of a person with hip fracture is 84 years for men and 83 years for women, 76% of fracture occurs in women. By 2050, the worldwide incidence of hip fracture in men is projected to increase by 24% in women and 31% in men. Hip fractures due
