This document discusses various types of secondary osteoporosis, including those caused by chronic liver diseases, Cushing syndrome, Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes. It provides details on the pathophysiology and mechanisms by which these conditions can lead to osteoporosis, such as through imbalances in the OPG/RANK/RANKL pathway, deficiencies in IGF-1 or vitamin K, elevated inflammatory cytokines, and effects on osteoblast and osteoclast activity. The document also covers topics like bone remodeling and epidemiology of osteoporosis.
The Challenges of Sarcopenia: Definition, Underlying Mechanisms, Intervention...InsideScientific
During this webinar, Drs. Peterson and Guralnik will discuss sarcopenia, the physiological mechanisms underlying the disease, and the current avenues of treatment and assessment that are being researched and developed for patients.
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle that causes decreased strength and functional limitations. Muscle loss occurs universally in people as we age, but some people lose muscle at an accelerated rate compared to others. While chronic disease can cause sarcopenia, it can also result from a sedentary lifestyle, hospitalizations and extended bed rest due to other conditions.
A gradual decline in muscle mass and strength begins around 30 years of age with this condition, and annual losses get larger throughout life. The self-reporting of functional difficulties to health care providers may give an indication that sarcopenia is present, but a more precise definition is needed for research and clinical use.
Efforts made in Europe and the US have used grip strength, gait speed and lean mass to define sarcopenia, but these definitions lead to large differences in prevalence rate and discordance in who is labelled as “sarcopenic”. To assess this condition, lean mass as measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) may not accurately reflect actual muscle mass, but a new technique using dilution of deuterium-labelled creatine may prove to be superior in clinically diagnosing sarcopenia. Currently, a consensus has not been reached on the clinical outcome assessments that can be used by regulatory agencies to judge the effectiveness of drugs for sarcopenia.
A number of potential interventions are being explored to treat sarcopenia in older people, but no drugs are currently approved for this condition. The antidiabetic drug metformin shows promise in preventing many age-associated conditions, but appears to blunt the benefits of exercise on muscle. Senolytic drugs, which clear senescent cells, may improve muscle repair following injury preferentially in older individuals.

Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitecture deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk.
Everything you should know about Osteoporosis?
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disorder of bones characterized by low bone density and a deterioration of bone micro- architecture that enhances bone fragility and increases the risk of fracture
Osteoporosis becomes a serious health threat for aging men & postmenopausal women by predisposing them to an increased risk of fracture
Do you know that?
Osteoporosis is responsible for >1.5 million vertebral and non-vertebral fractures per year
Spine, hip, and wrist fractures are most common.
Osteoporosis is a poorly recognized entity in India, especially among the non-endocrine physicians. Talk given to chest physicians focusing on glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis

Novel CAM Therapies in the Management of Osteogenic ImperfectaKimmer Collison-Ris
Osteogenic Imperfecta (OI) is a lifelong disease variably affecting individuals across the lifespan from birth. This paper discusses the various manifestations of OI and suggests novel nutritional, dietary, and complimentary therapies in its management for increased quality of life.
6. Epidemiology
Estimated that more than 200 millions of individuals
suffer from osteoporosis worldwide.

15. Hepatic osteodystrophy
Hepatic osteodystrophy comprises two types of change in the
bone:
- Osteoporosis
- Osteomalacia
A bone mass loss has been reported in 20-50% of
patients with chronic liver diseases.

24. Cushing syndrome (CS) encompasses a group of hormonal disorders
caused by prolonged and high exposure levels to Glucocorticoids.
(GIO)
The prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with CS using
currently accepted WHO guideline is usually estimated 30–65%.

33. Bone involvement is described to occur in approximately 75%
of GD-1 patients.

Mutations within the gene encoding for the CFTR
The incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in CF
patients ranges from 34 to 79 %.
