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.

According to National Osteoporosis Foundation in 2015, Osteoporosis was estimated to affect 75million people in Europe, USA and Japan and 200 million women worldwide. In this article, the role of calcium and vitamin D in bone building has been explained and has provided the relevant approaches in diagnosis of suspected cases of Osteoporosis.
Osteomalacia is the softening of the bones caused by defective bone mineralization secondary to inadequate levels of available phosphate and calcium.
The true prevalence of osteomalacia across the globe remains unknown.

This presentation includes four major topics:
1- reviews the essentials of osteoporosis including definition, pathophysiology, etiology, epidemiology, and prognosis
2- talks about the presentation of osteoporosis, including risk factors, symptoms and signs, radiologic manifestations, and complications
3- reviews the workup process to diagnose and define the severity of osteoporosis, including the lab. and radiologic procedures
4- reviews management tools of osteoporosis, including pharmacologic and non pharmacologic methods, with brief description for each pharmacologic or non pharmacologic tool.
Finally, some statements about the education and prevention of osteoporosis.
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.
This presentation was Shown on a community gathering in Gulshan Club Dhaka on the eve of the World Osteoporosis Day, 2010.
Prof. Shahiduzzaman was the key note speaker.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

22. ESTROGEN AND BONE PROTECTION Estrogen is essential for healthy bone, and that when the production of estrogen is reduced, as occurs normally in postmenopausal women and pathogenically after exposure to radiation or chemotherapeutic drugs, bones become brittle and break easily. However, the mechanisms involved aren't clearly understood.
23. The new study observed that one way estradiol helps to maintain bone density is by stopping the activation of an enzyme known as caspase-3. Also called the executioner caspase, caspase-3 is the central player in initiating the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death of osteoblasts, the bone cells that aid in the growth and development of new bone and teeth.
