Osteoporosis means "porous bones." Our bones are strongest at about age 30, then begin to lose density. More than 300 million Indians have osteoporosis, which is significant bone loss that increases the risk of fracture. About half of women 50 and older will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more susceptible to sudden and unexpected fractures.
The disease often progresses without any symptoms or pain, and is not found until bones fracture. You can take steps to prevent this disease, and treatments do exist.
The word ‘osteoporosis’ means ‘porous bone.’ It is a disease that weakens bones, and if you have it, you are at a greater risk for sudden and unexpected bone fractures.
Osteoporosis means that you have less bone mass and strength. The disease often develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is usually not discovered until the weakened bones cause painful fractures.
Most of these are fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.
Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, microarchitecture deterioration of bone tissue, bone fragility, and a consequent increase in fracture risk.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Goal: is to increase awareness of
osteoporosis, the risk factors, steps
to prevent, treatment options, and
suggestions to reduce fractures
Objective: is to provide a broad-
based community education
program to educate the public
about prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment options
3. -PEGGY, AGE 46
“I was absolutely blown
away to discover I had
osteoporosis. And there
are thousands of women
out there in the condition
I was in!”
4. -DIANNE, AGE 61
“I was devastated! I was always
very physically active in school
with hockey and track. I
couldn’t believe it—I was in
shock! My doctor told me not to
pick up my grandchildren, a bag
of groceries, or vacuum. I felt
like I was in a bubble.”
6. NATIONAL STATISTICS
Osteoporosis affects more than 28
million Americans; 80% of them
are women and 20% men
1 in 2 women and 1 in 8 men over
the age of 50 will develop
osteoporosis
Thin bones are the cause of 1.5
million fractures a year
7. FLORIDA STATISTICS
Over 2.1 million individuals have
osteoporosis or low bone mass
1998 - 22,630 residents had hip
fractures
1998 - Hospital charges for hip
fractures were $477.8 million with
80% discharged to nursing homes
8. VERTEBRAL FRACTURES
Can lead to chronic back pain, loss of
height, protruding stomach, stooped
posture - back pain is the most common
complaint
At age 50, a woman has a 50% chance of
an osteoporosis-related fracture during
her life
Loss of ability to do daily living activities
(cooking, cleaning, getting dressed, etc.)
9. A woman’s hip fracture risk equals
her combined risk of breast, uterine
and ovarian cancer
15-20% need long-term care
facilities
There is a 20% increased risk of
death during the first year following
a hip fracture
HIP FRACTURES
10. MYTHS OR FACTS
Men do not get osteoporosis
Diet can provide all of the calcium a
body needs
If your grandmother had
osteoporosis, you will get it too
Dairy products are the only source
of calcium
Activity – Myths or Facts About Osteoporosis
11. MYTHS OR FACTS
If you have osteoporosis, you can
do nothing about it
Our bones stop growing when we
reach full height (about age 20)
Susceptibility to fractures can
indicate osteoporosis
12. Low calcium intake during
adolescence can cause osteoporosis
later
Exercise is dangerous for older
people
MYTHS OR FACTS
13. MEN & OSTEOPOROSIS
Lifetime risk of getting
osteoporosis is the same as a
man’s lifetime risk for prostate
cancer
Nationally, one in eight men over
50 will get osteoporosis
By age 75, one in three men will
get osteoporosis
15. OSTEOPOROSIS: “The Silent Disease”
“Osteo” is Latin for “bone”
“Porosis” means “porous or full
of holes”
“Osteoporosis” means “bones
that are full of holes”
Osteoporosis can develop without
symptoms
You may not know you have the disease
until a bone fractures
16. TYPES OF BONE
(1) Cortical – is hard, compact,
dense bone (example: mid-
section of larger, long-bones of
arms and legs)
(2) Trabecular – is spongy, porous
and flexible bone (example: end
of the wrist, hip and the spine)
Activity - Understanding Our Bones
17. HEALTHY BONE
Bone is living
tissue, which is
constantly being
broken down and
rebuilt, a process
called remodeling
Bone is renewed
like skin, hair and
nails
18. OSTEOPOROTIC BONE
The loss of
living bone
tissue makes
bones fragile
and more
likely to
fracture
Note: arrow points to micro - fracture
20. BUILD YOUR BONE BANK
You build bone until about age 30
Steps to building healthy bones
include:
Calcium & vitamin D
Limit Caffeine & Alcohol
Exercise
Don’t Smoke
21. BONE BANK DEPOSITS
From birth through adolescence, new
bone is built faster than old bone is
removed
In mid-life, depending on lifestyle and
other factors, bone removal can achieve
a balance with bone formation
After menopause, bone removal may
accelerate due to a decrease in
estrogen
22. BONE LOSS & AGING
The first 5-15 years after
menopause a woman can lose
approximately 25 - 30 % of
trabecular bone & approximately
10 – 15 % of cortical bone
Bone loss often occurs
without symptoms or
warning signs
23. EARLY WARNING SIGNS
History of broken bones as an
adult
Unexplained back pain –
subsides after a couple of weeks
Loss of more than an inch in
height
Posture has become stooped
25. CLARIFICATIONS
There is no relationship between
osteoporosis and arthritis
Osteoporosis is a generalized
bone disease that causes porous
bones, usually not causing
symptoms until a fracture occurs
26. Arthritis refers to a group of
diseases and conditions that
affect the joints and are usually
painful
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative
type of arthritis affecting the hip,
knees and tips of the fingers—no
relationship to osteoporosis
CLARIFICATIONS
27. Steroids are sometimes used to treat
arthritis, and using steroids may put a
person at risk for osteoporosis
There is no clear relationship between
dental cavities and osteoporosis
Someone with osteoporosis may have
weakened jawbones and be prone to
losing teeth
CLARIFICATIONS
29. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Gender: Females are usually
diagnosed with osteoporosis at four
times the rate of males. Bone mass in
males is approximately 15-20% higher
than females
Small Boned & Thin: may result in
smaller bones with a lower bone
density
Activity - Risk Factor Worksheet
30. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Race/Ethnicity: Women, especially
Caucasian and Asian women with thin
frames are at greater risk
African American women have a higher
peak bone mass (10%) than Caucasian
women, but other factors such as
nutrition, exercise, certain diseases,
and medications may increase their
risk of osteoporosis
31. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Heredity: your family history may put
you genetically at risk or may be a result
of family members sharing the same
environment, exercise, and nutritional
habits
Menopause or several months without
periods: bone loss begins to exceed
bone formation, due to a decrease of
estrogen
32. Age: In your 40’s you start to
lose bone faster than you
build new bone. The
accumulated loss of
bone puts an older
person at higher risk
RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
33. RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Calcium Rich Diet:
milk, cheese, yogurt
Weight Bearing Exercise:
walk, bike, run
Vitamin D:
sunshine, multivitamin, fortified food
34. RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Caffeine: Recommendation-
No more than 2-3 cups of
caffeine beverages per day
Cola, coffee and
chocolate all
contain caffeine
35. Alcohol: consuming more than
one alcoholic drink per day is
associated with risk of low bone
mass
RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Eating Disorders:
anorexia nervosa or
bulimia can lead to
malnutrition and
bone loss
36. Smoking: causes
lower bone density
Immobility: extreme
lack of exercise can
lead to bone loss
RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
37. OTHER RISK FACTORS
Steroids - cause increased bone
breakdown and decreased bone
replacement
Prolonged hyperthyroidism – can
cause increased risk of bone loss
Thyroid hormone - (in excess) – acts
on bone cells to increase resorption
38. Diuretics – some types of diuretics may
increase excretion of calcium in the urine
Kidney failure – affects the metabolism of
calcium, phosphorous and vitamin D
Chronic hepatitis – chronic liver disease
may cause bone loss in several different
ways
Intestinal disease – some can affect the
absorption of vitamin D & calcium
OTHER RISK FACTORS
39. DRUGS-MAY CAUSE BONE LOSS
Cortisone Isoniazid
Seizure drugs Lithium
Cyclosporine Heparin
Methotrexate
Some Hormones Lupron®
Zoledex®

Adolescents-may lack calcium due to
high fat snacks with empty calories,
soda and dieting
Eating Disorders-anorexic or bulimic
teens lack calcium and may develop
osteoporosis at an early age
Older Adults-may have increased
calcium need due to poor absorption
44. SERVING SIZE
1 ½ cup (12 oz) of liquid is the size of soda-

Calcium content may vary greatly
between different brands of food
The percentage of calcium in a food is
based on 1000 milligrams. A food
containing 20% calcium = 200 mg
A food containing 10-19% of calcium
is a good source; 20% of calcium or
higher is a very good source

you get the recommended daily calcium
Activity - Foods and Calcium
49. LACTOSE-INTOLERANCE
Individuals who have difficulty
digesting the sugar found in
milk, called lactose
Start with small portions of
food such as milk--gradually
Increase portions
Eat dairy foods in combination with other foods
Many hard cheeses have less lactose than milk
Commercial lactase preparations aid digestion
50. CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS
Read Labels--several different
types of calcium supplements
available
Avoid -“natural” calcium such as
bone meal or dolomite-some
contain toxic lead or mercury
“Elemental calcium” - is the type of
calcium the body absorbs
51. ELEMENTAL CALCIUM
Kinds of Calcium % Elemental Calcium
Calcium carbonate 40%
Calcium phosphate (tribasic) 39%
Calcium phosphate (dibasic) 30%
Calcium citrate 21%
Calcium lactate 13%
Calcium gluconate 9%
Example, a 500 mg calcium tablet may only contain
45-200 mg of elemental calcium
52. CALCIUM TIPS
Do not take more than 500 mg
of calcium at a time or 2000 mg
total per day
Your body can absorb only
about 500 to 600 mg at a time
Example: take one tablet at
breakfast and another at
dinner
53. CARBONATE CITRATE
Needs acid to
dissolve and for
absorption
Less stomach
acid as we age
Take “at” or
“after” meals when
more stomach acid
Doesn’t require
stomach acid for
absorption
May be taken
between meals
May cost more
54. TEST YOUR CALCIUM TABLET
Put a calcium tablet in a
cup of half water and
half vinegar. Stir
every 5 minutes.
If it doesn’t dissolve
in 30 minutes, it probably
won’t dissolve in your
stomach
55. VITAMIN D
•Vitamin D is
necessary for
calcium to be
absorbed
•Multivitamin or
calcium tablets may
contain 400 IU daily
(don’t exceed 800)
•Vitamin D is in milk
(100 IU in 1 cup)
59. WHO NEEDS TESTING?
If you have major risk factors for
osteoporosis
If you have a family history of osteoporosis
If you have a personal history of fractures
after age 45
If you are on prolonged use of steroids
If you are postmenopausal, and not on
estrogen replacement therapy
Consult your healthcare provider
60. SCREENING TESTS
Portable scanners:
SXA - (Single Energy X-ray
Absorptiometry), measures wrist
or heel
pDXA - (Peripheral Dual Energy
X-ray), measures wrist or heel
61. RA - (Radiographic Absorptiometry),
x-ray of hand that is compared to a
small metal wedge
QCT - (Quantitative Computed
Tomography), measures the spine
Ultrasound - sound waves to
measure the heel, shin, and kneecap
SCREENING TESTS
63. WHAT IS A DXA?
