Bone Loss and Turnover after Cardiac Transplantation1

Medication Compliance after Renal Transplantation1

Bone turnover after bariatric surgery.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate parameters of bone and mineral metabolism after bariatric surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This sectional study included data from medical records from 61 bariatric surgery (BS) patients (minimum period of 6 months after the procedure) and from 30 class II and III obese patients as a control group (Cont), consisting of daily dietary intake o...

Daily parathyroid hormone administration enhances bone turnover and preserves bone structure after severe immobilization‐induced bone loss

Immobilization, as a result of motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI), is associated with severe osteoporosis. Whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration would reduce bone loss after SCI remains unclear. Thus, female mice underwent sham or surgery to produce complete spinal cord transection. PTH (80 μg/kg) or vehicle was injected subcutaneously (SC) daily starting on the day of surgery a...

Bone loss and bone size after menopause.

BACKGROUND Bone loss increases after menopause. However, bone strength also depends on structural characteristics such as bone size. Whether bone size increases as a result of periosteal apposition and whether a strength index accounting for both bone density and bone size might predict the risk of fracture better than bone density alone are unclear. METHODS Bone mass and the skeletal structu...
