11 Mar 2010 at 10:49pm HealthDay - THURSDAY, March 11 (HealthDay News) -- Long-term use of oral drugs prescribed to keep osteoporosis at bay may be associated with unusual fractures of the thigh bone, two new studies suggest. 10 Mar 2010 at 7:33pm Reuters - U.S. regulators said on Wednesday they have found no link between oral bisphosphonate osteoporosis medications such as Merck & Co Inc's Fosamax and certain thigh bone fractures. 24 Feb 2010 at 10:50pm HealthDay - WEDNESDAY, Feb. 24 (HealthDay News) -- A new drug to fight osteoporosis, the bone condition associated with aging and debilitating fractures, reduces the risk of fractures and the risk of some breast cancers, heart disease and stroke, according to a new study. 24 Feb 2010 at 12:14pm Reuters - Women who use hormone replacement therapy combining estrogen and progestin may have a higher risk of lung cancer than non-users, a new study finds. |
15 Mar 2010 at 7:00am Increasing calcium intake is a common -- yet not always successful -- strategy for reducing bone fractures. But a new study underscores the importance of vitamin D and its ability to help the body utilize calcium. The study also may explain why increasing calcium alone isn't always successful in dealing with this problem. 10 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm During weight loss, bones are being remodeled -- breaking down old bone and forming new bone -- at an accelerated rate. As a result, bone density is reduced, causing increased fragility. In a new study researchers found that weight-bearing exercise, in this case, fast walking or jogging, did not prevent the increased bone turnover caused by weight loss. 10 Mar 2010 at 4:00pm Tears in the shoulder's rotator cuff, a common sports injury, are painful and restricting. New research shows an approved therapy for osteoporosis, Forteo, may speed healing and improve patient outcomes, according to a preliminary study. 9 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm Bisphosphonate treatments, proven to enhance bone density and reduce fracture incidence in post-menopausal women, may adversely affect bone quality and increase risk of atypical fractures of the femur when used for four or more years, according to preliminary research. 10 Feb 2010 at 1:00pm Researchers have found that girls with anorexia, despite being emaciated, have strikingly high levels of fat in their bone marrow. This can be visualized in MRIs of the knee. The researchers believe that malnutrition causes hormonal alterations that push mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow to form fat cells rather than bone-forming cells. This may explain why patients with anorexia have bone loss. 8 Feb 2010 at 10:00am An investigational drug that inhibits serotonin in the gut, administered orally once daily, effectively cured osteoporosis in mice and rats, reports a new article. Serotonin in the gut has been shown in recent research to stall bone formation. The finding could lead to new therapies that build new bone; most osteoporosis drugs only prevent the breakdown of old bone. 8 Feb 2010 at 10:00am Scientists explain how an anti-inflammatory agent called "ATL146e" may significantly improve the likelihood of success for bone marrow transplants by preventing or halting the progression of graft-versus-host disease, a complication of bone marrow transplants in which the donor marrow attacks the host. 29 Jan 2010 at 7:00pm If your grandfather has had a hip fracture, you too could be at risk. Researchers in Sweden, have been able to show, for the first time, a link between hip fractures in elderly men and impaired bone health in their grandsons. 29 Jan 2010 at 1:00pm Using cells from mice, scientists discovered a new strategy for making embryonic stem cell transplants less likely to be rejected by a recipient's immune system. This strategy involves fusing bone marrow cells to embryonic stem cells. Once fused, hybrid cells have DNA from both donor and recipient, raising hopes that immune rejection of embryonic stem cell therapies can be avoided without drugs. 15 Jan 2010 at 7:00pm Endocrinologists are launching a human trial of a new drug that their research indicates holds great promise for building bones weakened by osteoporosis. An experimental drug called parathyroid hormone-related protein is an anabolic agent that appears to be unique in its ability to stimulate bone formation without simultaneously increasing bone breakdown. 15 Jan 2010 at 7:00am Taking both calcium and vitamin D supplements on a daily basis reduces the risk of bone fractures, regardless of whether a person is young or old, male or female, or has had fractures in the past, a large study of nearly 70,000 patients from throughout the United States and Europe has found. 12 Jan 2010 at 11:00pm Bone loss around dental implants is far more common than previously realized, reveals new research from Sweden. Around a quarter of patients loose some degree of supporting bone around their implants. 8 Jan 2010 at 4:00am Scientists have discovered a link between diabetes and bone marrow nerve damage that may help treat one of the disease's most common and potentially blindness-causing complications. 7 Jan 2010 at 4:00am A new study finds that postmenopausal HIV-infected women have a high prevalence of low bone mineral density and high bone turnover, placing them at high risk for future bone fractures. 7 Jan 2010 at 1:00am According to a new study, fat mass is important in increasing bone size and thickness, but this effect appears to be stronger in girls than boys. |

14 Mar 2010 at 4:47pm Dr. Robert Bunning has been studying possible side effects of bisphosphonates, drugs commonly taken to treat osteoporosis Around the world, millions of older women and a smaller number of older men have been taking a drug to prevent hip fractures and fight osteoporosis, a disease caused by low bone mass and bone deterioration. 13 Mar 2010 at 3:31pm Twice doctors have prescribed medications for Jeanette McLearen with great certainty, only to second-guess the outcomes. 12 Mar 2010 at 3:29pm Now that some doctors have raised concerns that osteoporosis drugs may actually cause fractures, women are left wondering what to do: stop taking the drugs or continue? "I was on my way to work, walking up the hill to catch the bus and I heard a snap. 12 Mar 2010 at 7:11am Oral bisphosphonates are commonly prescribed to prevent or treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. 11 Mar 2010 at 10:53pm Long-term use of oral drugs prescribed to keep osteoporosis at bay may be associated with unusual fractures of the thigh bone, two new studies suggest. 11 Mar 2010 at 5:46pm Medications called bisphosphonates are standard tools for the treatment of osteoporosis. 11 Mar 2010 at 9:36am U.S. regulators said on Wednesday they have found no link between oral bisphosphonate osteoporosis medications such as Merck & Co Inc's Fosamax and certain thigh bone fractures. 11 Mar 2010 at 1:33am Surgery to repair the damage is successful for pain management, but in many patients it does not result in full recovery of function due to poor healing. 10 Mar 2010 at 5:24pm A popular group of drugs prescribed to slow bone loss may be putting some patients at an increased risk of hip fractures if taken for more than five years. 9 Mar 2010 at 8:35pm Fosamax, a popular osteoporosis medication for which nearly 40 million prescriptions have been written, may be putting some at risk for spontaneous femur fractures. 8 Mar 2010 at 8:36pm In the U.S. today, 10 million people are estimated to have osteoporosis and close to 34 million more are estimated to have decreased bone density. 8 Mar 2010 at 12:26am DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I recently had a bone density test, which showed that I needed to be on medication for osteoporosis. 6 Mar 2010 at 1:10pm Just-published research shows that women who take drugs to fight osteoporosis may have a lower risk of developing breast cancer. 4 Mar 2010 at 12:05pm Drugs used to treat brittle bones could reduce the risk of breast cancer by almost 40% . In a study by researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, Washington found a strong association between bisphosphonate, a drug used to treat osteoporosis , and a reduced risk of breast cancer . 3 Mar 2010 at 11:23am Women who take some types of bone-building drugs used to prevent and treat osteoporosis may be at lower risk of breast cancer, according to a study by U.S. researchers published today in the British Journal of Cancer . 12 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Melasma Category: Diseases and Conditions Created: 3/12/2010 5:07:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/12/2010 5:07:18 PM 12 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Cholesterol Category: Diseases and Conditions Created: 12/31/1997 Last Editorial Review: 3/12/2010 12 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Long-Term Use of Osteoporosis Drugs Linked to Fractures Category: Health News Created: 3/11/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/12/2010 11 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: High Natural Estrogen Might Raise Women's Stroke Risk Category: Health News Created: 3/10/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/11/2010 10 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: CDC: Genital Herpes Rates Still High Category: Health News Created: 3/10/2010 8:48:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/10/2010 8:48:30 AM 10 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Category: Diseases and Conditions Created: 2/15/2000 10:55:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/10/2010 9 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: New Drug Relieves Hand Eczema Category: Health News Created: 3/9/2010 10:23:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/9/2010 10:23:33 AM 9 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Moderate Drinking Linked to Weight Control Category: Health News Created: 3/9/2010 9:46:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/9/2010 9:46:03 AM 8 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Freezing Technique May Stop Breast Cancer Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/8/2010 8 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Breastfeeding Helps Mom Stay Slimmer Later in Life Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 8:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/8/2010 8 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Breast Cancer Patients Often Confused by Genomic Testing Category: Health News Created: 3/8/2010 9:42:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/8/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Good Diet May Aid Ovarian Cancer Survival Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 10:26:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 10:26:12 AM |
