Physical exercise in the early twenties improves bone development and may reduce the risk of fractures later in life, reveals a study of more than 800 Swedish men carried out at the Sahlgrenska Academy.
Halting Bone-Building Osteoporosis Drug Use Cuts Risk for Additional Atypical Femur Fracture in Half
San Francisco, CA - There is growing evidence that supports an association between atypical fractures of the femur – a rare break of the thigh bone, typically without trauma – and the use of bisphosphonates, drugs proven to enhance bone density and reduce fracture incidence caused by osteoporosis. ...Smallest tools could give biggest results in bone repair
MADISON - When William Murphy works with some of the most powerful tools in biology, he thinks about making tools that can fit together. These constructions sound a bit like socket wrenches, which can be assembled to turn a half-inch nut in tight quarters, or to loosen a rusted-tight one-inch bolt using a very persuasive lever. ...Study: Rapid bone loss as possible side effect of anti-obesity drug now in clinical trials
DALLAS – An endocrine hormone used in clinical trials as an anti-obesity and anti-diabetes drug causes significant and rapid bone loss in mice, raising concerns about its safe use, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have shown....UC Davis investigators develop method of directing stem cells to increase bone formation and bone strength
Successful testing in mice paves the way toward human trials for patients with osteoporosis...UGA discovery uses ‘fracture putty’ to repair broken bone in days
Athens, Ga. - Broken bones in humans and animals are painful and often take months to heal. Studies conducted in part by University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center researchers show promise to significantly shorten the healing time and revolutionize the course of fracture treatment....Southampton research shows early bone growth linked to bone density in later life
Researchers from the University of Southampton, in collaboration with a research group in Delhi, India, have shown that growth in early childhood can affect bone density in adult life, which could lead to an increased risk of developing bone diseases like Osteoporosis....Decades of experience with osteoporosis
Bone density is a powerful predictor of fractures, but it’s not the only thing that puts people at risk. Doctors at the Yale Bone Center take a comprehensive look at the whole picture....Massage is promising for muscle recovery: McMaster researchers find 10 minutes reduces inflammation
Hamilton, Ont - Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a brief 10-minute massage helps reduce inflammation in muscle....Poor neighbourhoods suffer higher incidence of arthritis
People living in poor neighbourhoods have a higher rate and risk of arthritis - one of the most common causes of disability in the developed world....
