Clinical Validation of BBCT-hip
The clinical study is aimed at assessing the accuracy of the in silico methodology BBCT-hip. BBCT-hip takes as inputs the subject-specific height and weight, and the CT scan of his femur to predict the risk of fracture for the femur upon falling. In the study, 150 subjects who suffered from …
Image-guided Computational and Experimental Analyses of Fractured Patient's Bone (GAP)
Due to the increase in the average age of the population, the projections on the number of age-dependent bone fractures appear to be constantly increasing. They are mainly due to bone pathologies, including osteoporosis. The latter leads to a reduction in bone mineral density and deterioration of the micro-architecture, with …
Comparison of Computed Tomography Data With Routine Measurements Concerning Bone and Muscle Health of Aged Individuals
This study focuses on researching sarcopenia and bone loss (osteoporosis), aiming to develop early and effective methods for diagnosis and treatment. These health issues significantly contribute to falls, fractures, and loss of independence and quality of life in old age, particularly affecting individuals impairments. To address these challenges, the study …
Structured Data Collection of Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation and Evaluated for Bone Mineral Metabolism
Observational cohort study offered consecutively to every liver transplant patient who arrives for the first endocrinology visit or returns for follow-up visit for bone metabolism assessment.
Study of the Adequacy Between Calcium Supplementation and Dietary Intake in Treatment-naive Patients After a Fracture
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes many fractures. However, treatments exist such as anti-osteoporotic treatments, vitamin D supplementation and an adaptation of calcium intake. 80% of patients with an indication for anti-osteoporotic treatment are never treated with these anti-osteoporotic treatments after a first fracture. On the other hand, more than …
Association Between DXA Results and the Complications, Clinical Courses and Outcomes in Chronic Dialysis Patients
Aims To determine whether BMD and muscle mass were associated with fractures and other adverse events in dialysis patients. To explore the effects of the interactions among FGF23, calcium, phosphate, PTH and vitamin D on low bone mineral density and sacropenia in dialysis patients. Method In this study, the investigators …
Atypical Fracture Cohort Study
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by increased bone fragility and deteriorating bone micro-architecture. The main consequence of osteoporosis is low-trauma fractures, most often of the hip, spine and wrist. Recently, another type of low-trauma fracture, atypical femur fractures (AFFs), have received much attention. Little is known of the cause of …
Osteosarcopenia in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Axial spondyloarthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine, sacroiliac joints, entheses, and sometimes peripheral joints with a close link to HLAB27. Typical features include inflammatory back pain, limited spinal mobility, and sacroiliitis. The term axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) includes both Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) where sacroiliitis is diagnosed by X-rays, …
Dynamics in Bone Turnover Markers During and After Short-term Glucocorticoid Treatment in Patients With an Inflammatory Joint Disease
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are recommended as an important tool in follow-up of osteoporosis treatment. However, there is a lack of knowledge in the reliability of BTMs during and after glucocorticoid treatment. Glucocorticoids suppresses BTMs during treatment with at least 30% and, moreover, glucocorticoids increase the risk of fractures. Patients …
Study to Document the Phenomenon of Vitamin D Deficiency and Its Added Value in Patients with Low-energy Osteoporotic Hip Fracture, in Daily Practice in Greece.
Vitamin D, through its action on calcium metabolism, is essential for bone physiology. Vitamin D deficiency can affect muscle function and increase the risk of falls in the elderly, while severe deficiency is common in patients with fragility fractures. Vitamin D and calcium supplementation, in addition to anti-osteoporosis treatment after …
