Mashup Score: 0Osteoporosis in men - 1 year(s) ago
Osteoporosis in men is a common but often overlooked disorder by clinicians. The criterion for osteoporosis diagnosis in men is similar to that in women—namely, a bone mineral density (BMD) that is 2·5 standard deviations or more below the mean for the young adult population (aged 20–29 years; T-score –2·5 or lower), measured at the hip or lumbar spine. Sex steroids are important for bone health…

Osteoporotic or fragility fractures affect one in two women and one in five men who are older than 50. These events are associated with substantial morbidity, increased mortality, and an impaired quality of life. Recommended general measures for fragility fracture prevention include a balanced diet with an optimal protein and calcium intake and vitamin D sufficiency, together with regular…

Survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of any first fracture. Very low lumbar spine BMD was associated with fractures, highlighting the importance of active BMD surveillance in high-risk survivors (ie, those treated with cranial, craniospinal, or total body irradiation). Moreover, our results indicate that intensive surveillance and timely interventions for endocrine disorders and…

Mashup Score: 1Long-term bone health in childhood cancer survivors: underappreciated and undertreated? - 1 year(s) ago
Maintenance of bone quality is an ongoing challenge throughout the lifespan of a cancer survivor. Although bone metastases are the most obvious scenario in which a malignancy negatively affects bone, non-metastatic cancer can also impair bone metabolism by direct (eg, cancer mediated) or indirect (eg, treatment or consequences of such) mechanisms.1 Updated American Society of Clinical Oncology…

Mashup Score: 2
Childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors are at increased risk of reduced bone mineral density. Clinical practice surveillance guidelines are important for timely diagnosis and treatment of these survivors, which could improve bone mineral density parameters and prevent fragility fractures. Discordances across current late effects guidelines necessitated international harmonisation…

Increased fracture risk represents an emerging and severe complication of diabetes. The resulting prolonged immobility and hospitalisations can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. In type 1 diabetes, bone mass and bone strength are reduced, resulting in up to a five-times greater risk of fractures throughout life. In type 2 diabetes, fracture risk is increased despite a normal bone mass….
