Osteoporosis is a major health problem in India, affecting over 43 million women. Some key facts are that over 61 million Indians have osteoporosis, with 80% being women. Indians also have the highest rates of osteopenia globally. Osteoporotic fractures occur earlier in Indians compared to other populations and are more common in Indian men. Poor calcium intake, lack of exercise, vitamin D deficiency, and low bone mineral density contribute to higher osteoporosis rates in India. Osteoporosis poses a serious burden through increased fracture risk and reduced quality of life.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis
Prof. Muhammad Aslam from the Department of ObGyn at LGH Lahore discusses osteoporosis and its prevention through nutrition. Osteoporosis causes millions of fractures annually worldwide and leads to disability and death for many elderly. Key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K play important roles in bone health and fracture prevention. Maintaining sufficient intake of these nutrients through diet and supplements can help attain peak bone mass and protect against osteoporosis and fractures later in life.

Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density and quality decreases, making bones fragile and prone to fractures. It affects over 55% of people over age 50. Key factors that determine peak bone mass attained by young adulthood include heredity, physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle. While bone density scans can help assess risk, most fractures occur in those with normal or low bone density. Exercise that loads and supports the spine, like the Meeks Method, along with bracing and supplements can help prevent fractures and manage osteoporosis symptoms.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by low bone density and mass, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is a growing epidemic, with over 75 million cases in the US, Europe and Japan expected to increase further. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, lifestyle factors like smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions or medications. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, bone density scans, and biochemical markers. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium intake, and vitamin D; medications include hormones, biphosphonates, and teriparatide injections in severe cases. Preventing osteoporosis requires modifiable lifestyle changes and responsible self-care.
Osteoporosis Therapy Overview
Osteoporosis affects over 10 million Americans and is a growing problem. It is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, increasing the risk of fractures.

Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It is caused by low bone density due to lack of calcium and other minerals in bones. Symptoms include back pain and loss of height. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, and medications like corticosteroids. It is diagnosed through tests like DXA scans and treated through lifestyle changes, medications, and hormone therapy.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure. It increases the risk of fractures. The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis as a bone density 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean bone density of healthy young adults. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard test used to diagnose osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral density at sites like the hip and spine. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol as well as certain medical conditions and medications can impact bone health and increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural defects that cause bone fragility and increased fracture risk. It is defined by the WHO as a bone density 2.5 standard deviations below the mean for young adults of the same sex. Bone is composed of a collagen matrix, mineral salts like calcium and phosphate, and bone cells including osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts that are involved in bone formation and resorption. Diagnosis involves x-rays, bone mineral density tests, and laboratory tests of calcium, vitamin D, and biochemical markers of bone turnover. Treatment focuses on reducing risk factors, adequate nutrition, exercise, and pharmacologic therapies like bisphosphonates, SERMs,
Update on Osteoporosis
Teriparatide (Forteo) is an effective treatment for osteoporosis that works by stimulating new bone formation. It increases bone mineral density, improves bone microarchitecture, and reduces the risk of fractures. While other medications inhibit bone resorption, teriparatide has an anabolic effect through its similar structure to parathyroid hormone.
Post menopausal osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by fragile bones due to decreased bone density. It is caused by a loss of protein, collagen, and calcium from bones, making them porous and compressible. Common fractures occur in the spine, hips, ribs and wrists. Osteoporosis can be primary or secondary, with the most common forms being post-menopausal and age-related osteoporosis. Risk factors include age, sex, race, smoking, low body weight, estrogen deficiency, inactivity and falls. Diagnosis involves labs, imaging like DEXA scans, and biopsies. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, and pharmacologic agents like bisphosphon
Shafei osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. It increases bone fragility and risk of fracture. While not a natural part of aging, risk is higher for post-menopausal women over 65 and all races and sexes can be affected. Bone density testing is recommended for women over 65, men over 70, and younger adults with clinical risk factors to diagnose osteoporosis. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the gold standard test which measures bone mineral density at the hip and spine.

Penguin power point for school or work
Penguins are found in the Southern Hemisphere and range in size from 40-110cm. There are 17 species of penguins, most of which are not endangered but a few are vulnerable or endangered. Penguins evolved from birds and cannot fly but are warm-blooded and waterproof. They live 15-20 years on average and spend up to 75% of their time in water. While some reports in 1940s Florida claimed sightings of giant penguins, these were eventually revealed to be hoaxes using a costume.

The treatment of osteoporosis
This document discusses osteoporosis, its pathogenesis, current treatment options, and potential future therapies. It describes how osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Current treatments either inhibit osteoclastic activity to decrease bone resorption or stimulate osteoblastic activity to increase bone formation. First-line therapies are bisphosphonates and calcitonin, while PTH is used for high-risk patients. Emerging drugs combine anti-resorptive and anabolic mechanisms or target new pathways like sclerostin inhibition. Future therapies aim to have better safety profiles and reliable biomarkers for prevention.

This document discusses osteoporosis, including its causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It describes osteoporosis as a systemic disease characterized by decreased bone strength and increased fracture risk. Key points made include:
- Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs and is known as the "silent epidemic".
- Risk factors include age, gender, family history, smoking, lack of exercise, and low calcium/vitamin D intake.
- Screening is recommended for women over 65 and younger women with risk factors using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.
- Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, fall prevention, and calcium
Osteoporosis in Elderly People.pptx
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.
Osteoporosis presentation 2010
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and porous, increasing the risk of fractures. It is most common in women after menopause when estrogen levels drop and accelerate bone loss. Preventing osteoporosis requires building strong bones through exercise and nutrition, especially calcium and vitamin D, during childhood and early adulthood to achieve peak bone mass. Lifestyle factors like smoking, excess alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle can increase osteoporosis risk. Diagnosis involves bone density scans and treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to prevent fractures.
Osteoporosis
This was a lecture in the course "Significant Medical Conditions in Seniors" presented at Peer Learning in Chapel Hill, NC, USA in 2016 by Michael C. Joseph, MD, MPH.
Lupus.and.bonehealth
Bone is living tissue that is constantly broken down and rebuilt. During teenage years, bone growth outpaces breakdown due to hormones, leading to peak bone mass by age 20-30. After age 30, breakdown and rebuilding are balanced until menopause in women causes estrogen loss and more breakdown. People with lupus are at higher risk of osteoporosis due to steroids, inflammation from the disease, and other factors. Regular screening, calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and medications can help prevent or treat osteoporosis in people with lupus.
Management of osteoporosis
This document discusses recent advances in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis. It begins by defining osteoporosis and describing the changes in bone density that occur with age. It then discusses risk factors, medical conditions associated with increased risk, drugs that can reduce bone mass, and tools for assessing fracture risk such as FRAX. It provides guidelines on who should receive bone mineral density testing and describes new assessment tools. The document concludes by covering non-pharmacological and pharmacological prevention and treatment options for osteoporosis, including calcium, vitamin D, exercise, falls prevention, hormone therapy, bisphosphonates, and other medications.

OSTEOPOROSIS which is more in Elderly, Osteoporosis is Common in both females and males after 60 yrs. Fractures, reduction in height, Backache, vague Pain of body are common symptoms which many elderly suffers unknowingly.
Osteo Atharva
Osteoporosis is a growing health problem affecting 1 in 3 women aged 30-50 in cities, characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk. It occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, usually after age 30. Post-menopausal women are most at risk due to estrogen changes. Risk factors include family history, steroid use, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, and not getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Ayurveda sees it as bone marrow and bone loss (Asthikshya and Majjakshaya) caused by aggravated vata dosha. Treatment focuses on pacifying vata with herbal supplements, therapies, and lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition to prevent
Osteoporosis Nutriforce Training HIMAGIKA
This document discusses osteoporosis as an inpatient topic. It notes that over 50% of women and 30-45% of men over age 50 have osteopenia or osteoporosis, which increases fracture risk. Hip fractures in particular are associated with high mortality and nursing home placement rates. The document then reviews the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis, emphasizing the importance of reducing fractures through improving bone mineral density and decreasing falls risk.

IMAGING IN OSTEOPOROSIS.pptx
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture. It is diagnosed based on a combination of clinical history, risk factors, physical examination, imaging findings, and bone mineral density (BMD) measurement via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. BMD T-scores are used to classify individuals as having normal bone density, osteopenia, or osteoporosis according to World Health Organization criteria. Other imaging techniques like quantitative computed tomography and peripheral BMD measurement can provide additional information.
Prevent, treat and beat osteoporosis
This document discusses osteoporosis, including what it is, symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, incidence rates, treatment options, and preventative measures. Some key points:
- Osteoporosis is the thinning and weakening of bones, making them fragile and prone to fractures. It has no symptoms until a fracture occurs.
- Risk factors include genetics, low vitamin D, low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, menopause for women. India has a high incidence, especially in men and those aged 50-60.
- Treatment options include hormone replacement therapy, SERMs, bisphosphonates, and Teriparatide injections to rebuild bone density and reduce fracture risk.
Ensuring Better Bone Health
This document discusses ensuring better bone health. It begins by explaining that bone is made up of collagen and calcium phosphate, which gives it strength and flexibility. It then notes that more than 99% of the body's calcium is contained in bones and teeth. The document outlines why bone health is important by explaining that bones support the body, facilitate movement, and protect organs. It then discusses several factors that affect bone health, including diet, physical activity, tobacco/alcohol use, gender, and age. The document emphasizes getting sufficient calcium and vitamin D through foods like dairy. It recommends regular weight-bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, speaking to a doctor about bone health, and getting bone density tests when appropriate.
Osteoprosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases, making bones more brittle and prone to fracture. It is most common in older women after menopause when estrogen levels drop. Calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can contribute to osteoporosis. A DEXA scan is used to diagnose based on bone mineral density T-scores. Treatment focuses on preventing further bone loss through medications, lifestyle changes like exercise, and maintaining calcium and vitamin D levels through diet.
Health of bones
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases and bones become more fragile and prone to fractures. It affects over 10 million Americans, especially post-menopausal women. To prevent and slow bone loss, one should get enough calcium and vitamin D through foods or supplements, do weight-bearing exercise, and protect themselves from falls. Bone density tests can detect osteoporosis early before fractures occur. Medications may be needed if bone loss has progressed to osteopenia or osteoporosis.
OSTEOPOROSIS: A Barebone guide to diagnosis and management
“Progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk”
True Definition: bone with lower density and higher fracture risk
WHO: utilizes Bone Mineral Density as definition (T score <-2.5)
Osteoporosis is silent because there are no symptoms initially.
The most common are fractures of the spine, hip, and wrist.
Osteoporosis is not an inevitable part of aging, but is a disease that can be prevented and treated, provided it is detected early.
The main goal of treating osteoporosis is to prevent such fractures in the first place.
Bare bone term used for “necked bone with necked eye”
“There is clearly a problem of underdiagnosis and undertreatment of osteoporosis and we want to raise awareness about the risk factors for osteoporosis so that those who need treatment get treatment”.
Learning Objectives
Utilize recent recommendations for osteoporosis prevention and treatment and how to apply them in practice.
Explain controversies surrounding pharmacologic osteoporosis therapy including side effects and the risk/benefit ratio of therapy.
Determine when and how to utilize the current pharmacologic therapies including anabolic versus anti-resorptive approaches and how to transition or discontinue treatment
Osteoporosis only causes symptoms when it is far advanced.
Symptoms include loss of height, deformed spine (“dowager’s hump”), unexplained back pain, and fractures.
It is best to detect problems at an early stage, when treatment is most effective.
The best test for detecting osteoporosis is bone densitometry, done with a technique called “Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry” or DXA.
Osteoporosis ff
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break. It occurs most often in older women and is caused by factors such as low estrogen after menopause, a family history of osteoporosis, and a diet low in calcium and vitamin D. To prevent osteoporosis, one should exercise, avoid smoking and excess alcohol, and consume a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. A bone density test can diagnose osteoporosis and determine bone strength. Treatment may include medications and lifestyle changes to strengthen bones and prevent falls and fractures.
Common Musculoskeletal (orthopedic) disorders in elderly
elderly and geriatric old age people tend to suffer many orthopedic disability due to common functional limitations and mobility issues as a result of pain from osteoarthritis, osteoporotic fractures, low back pain and degenerative spinal disorders like lumbar spondylosis and vitamin D and nutritional deficiencies. early diagnosis , prevention, timely surgical interventions and optimum rehabilitation are paramount to bring elderly to pre-injury state of functional independence.
Osteoporosis - diagnosis , management 2016
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragile bones and increased risk of fractures. It is defined by the World Health Organization as a bone mineral density score of -2.5 or below. Those at highest risk include older adults, especially post-menopausal women, and those with low calcium/vitamin D intake or other risk factors such as smoking. Symptoms may include back pain or loss of height from vertebral fractures. Treatment focuses on calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as bisphosphonate medications to decrease bone resorption and reduce fracture risk. Prevention emphasizes building strong bones through diet, exercise and lifestyle habits during childhood and adolescence.

Prevent Diabetes
The document discusses strategies for preventing both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. For Type 1 diabetes, primary prevention efforts have focused on limiting islet cell inflammation and identifying triggering factors, though gene therapy may provide answers in the future. For Type 2 diabetes, lifestyle changes and targeting high-risk groups have shown promise for primary prevention at the population and individual levels. Secondary prevention of complications involves education, exercise, diet, glycemic control, blood pressure management, and specific treatments tailored for organs like the retina, kidneys, and feet. A multidisciplinary team approach is needed to effectively manage all prevention and treatment aspects of diabetes.
Diabetes Denial
This document discusses the challenges of managing chronic diseases like diabetes and outlines different types of patient segments based on their attitudes and approaches to treatment. It identifies those who are knowledgeable and disciplined in managing their condition positively, as well as those who are scared, have negative attitudes, low awareness, a short-sighted approach, or overconfidence in their knowledge. Managing chronic illnesses requires patients to balance treatment with daily life while preventing problems through ongoing vigilance and self-management.
Diagnozing Diabetes
The document outlines the diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus, including symptoms of excess urination and thirst plus random venous plasma glucose over 200 mg/dl or fasting venous plasma glucose over 126 mg/dl. It also describes a glucose tolerance test procedure involving a fasting blood sample, drinking 75g of glucose, and a 2-hour post-drink blood sample to diagnose diabetes if over 200 mg/dl. Reasons for delayed diabetes diagnosis include lack of awareness, negligence, economic factors, and access to medical services.
Endocrinology
This document discusses various medical conditions that can cause changes in pigmentation and other physical features. Excess pigmentation may be caused by Cushing syndrome due to high steroid levels or an overactive thyroid. Other conditions mentioned include vitiligo, thyroid eye disease, a pituitary tumor, low testosterone in men causing small testes, breast enlargement in boys, excess facial hair in girls often due to polycystic ovarian disease, and symptoms of polycystic ovarian disease like irregular periods, excess hair growth, and obesity.
Diabetes And Eye
Diabetes can cause several eye problems by damaging the retina such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. Around 25% of diabetics have some form of diabetic retinopathy, which increases to 60% for those with type 2 diabetes after 20 years, so annual eye exams are important for early detection and treatment. Laser treatment can be used to treat more severe cases of retinopathy and prevent vision loss, but screening and management of blood sugar levels are crucial to reduce the risk of eye damage from diabetes.
Diabetes And Heart
Diabetes increases the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease through metabolic abnormalities like high blood sugar and insulin resistance. These alterations affect the function of endothelial cells, platelets, and smooth muscle cells in the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and destruction of the arteries. A typical type 2 diabetic patient has equal risk of future heart attack as a past heart attack survivor without any other heart problems. Over 75% of people with diabetes die from coronary atherosclerosis and managing diabetes involves following a healthy diet, regular exercise, medication adherence, and regular blood glucose testing.
Diabetes And Sugar
Diabetes management involves addressing more than just blood sugar levels. Key co-existing conditions include coronary artery disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, and stroke. Lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise, and smoking cessation are important to manage these conditions. Treatment goals for hypertension in diabetes are less than 130/80 mm Hg to help prevent complications like heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. A multidisciplinary team approach is needed to help patients manage their diabetes and related health issues.
Diabetes And Kidney
This document discusses diabetic kidney disease and nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of renal failure, with 50% of dialysis patients having diabetes. Risk factors include poor blood glucose control, long diabetes duration, hypertension, and family history. Symptoms include protein in urine, high blood pressure, and declining renal function. Screening for microalbuminuria is important. Strict glycemic control and keeping blood pressure below 130/80 can prevent or slow progression. Treatment involves diet, medication, fluid management, and potentially renal replacement therapies like hemodialysis if kidney function declines severely.
Inject Insulin
The document provides instructions for administering insulin injections and discusses insulin delivery devices. It explains that insulin can be injected into the abdomen, outer arms, thighs, buttocks or hips. Modern insulin pens and pumps have made injections easier to use and virtually painless. The document also addresses common myths about insulin and notes that newer insulin analogues are more convenient and effective than older forms.
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by high blood sugar levels and a tendency to develop complications. It is diagnosed through fasting blood sugar levels over 125 mg/dl or random blood sugar over 199 mg/dl. Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, stroke, heart attack, amputation and kidney disease. By 2025, it is estimated that over 300 million adults worldwide will have diabetes, with India and China having the highest numbers of people affected. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent or delay complications. Managing diabetes involves following a healthy diet, regular exercise, taking medication as prescribed, and regularly testing blood sugar levels.
Thyroid
The document discusses the thyroid gland and its relationship to other endocrine glands and hormones. It mentions that an enlarged thyroid gland is called a goiter and includes images showing a goiter, thyroid nodule, and prominent eyes associated with an overactive thyroid.

June 14, 2024Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
