TY - JOUR. T1 - Effects of increasing doses of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D2 on calcium homeostasis in postmenopausal osteopenic women. AU - Gallagher, John Christopher G.. AU - Bishop, Charles W.. AU - Knutson, Joyce C.. AU - Mazess, Richard B.. AU - Deluca, Hector F.. PY - 1994/5. Y1 - 1994/5. N2 - This study is the first reported administration of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D2 (1α-OHD2) to human subjects. A total of 15 postmenopausal osteopenic women were given increasing oral doses of 1α-OHD2, beginning with a low dose of 0.5 μg/day. In 15 subjects, the doses were raised at weekly intervals to 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 5.0 μg/day, and in 5 of these subjects, the dose was further increased to 8.0 or 10.0 μg/day. Mean urine calcium ± SEM showed a dose-related increase from 134 ± 17 mg/24 h on 0.5 μg/day to 198 ± 21 mg/24 h on 4.0 μg/day (p ,0.05) and to 241 ± 35 mg/24 h on 5.0 μg/day (p ,0.05). No subjects had hypercalciuria (, 350 mg/24 h, the upper limit of the laboratory normal range) at doses less ...

The fellowship in Metabolic Bone Disease is a 1 year clinical research program. Successful completion of the program will enable the fellow to evaluate , diagnose and provide evidence based management of complex metabolic bone diseases. These include osteoporosis in pre and postmenopausal women as well as in men, fibrous dysplasia, sclerotic bone diseases, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, X-linked hypophosphatemia , renal osteodystrophy and pagets disease. The fellow will also gain competence in evaluating complex calcium and parathyroid disorders as well as an understanding of how and when to complete genetic testing for calcium disorders as well as metabolic bone diseases. The fellow will attend the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research annual scientific meeting and submit research for presentation at this meeting . The fellowship curriculum is outlined in the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research Primer. It is expected that the fellow will be gain this ...

Bone disease - Metabolic bone disease: The normal function of bone requires an adequate supply of amino acids (the building blocks for proteins) for the synthesis of collagen, the chief component of the organic matrix; of calcium and phosphate for mineralization of the organic matrix; and of other organic compounds and mineral elements. Also, growth, repair, and remodeling of the bone tissue require a precisely regulated supply of hormones, vitamins, and enzymes. Skeletal disease, when it is due to inadequacies in the supply or action of the above essentials, associated with abnormalities outside the skeleton, is termed metabolic; in such cases the entire skeleton is affected.

The Metabolic Bone Diseases Clinic at Tufts Medical Center in Boston provides care to manage increased risk for fragility fractures due to bone diseases, like osteoporosis.

This clinic treats patients who have metabolic bone diseases - thin bones, thick bones, soft bones, brittle bones and irregular bones. These diseases are caused by problems with mineral metabolism, nutrition, and some genetic diseases. In addition to the above list, we see patients with many kinds of diseases, including:

Results Data from the first fifteen babies is presented.. Using an ALP cut-off of 400 IU/L to define osteopenia, babies with increased ALP, tended to have a higher PTH (p = 0.07), with mean PTH,7.9 pmol/L being associated with bone disease. Hypophosphatemia (Phosphate,1.5 mmol/l), a known risk factor, was significantly associated with hyperparathyroidism (p = 0.005). PTH and TmP-GFR were inversely correlated. Plasma calcium remained unchanged and within normal range. ...

Ventilatory drive at risk: Surgery in the region of the cervicomedullary junction and upper cervical spine may result in reduced respiratory drive. There may also be pre-existing respiratory compromise due to interstitial lung disease or restrictive ventilation that has developed as a result of a thoracic deformity. Either creates an additional risk factor for respiratory complications during recovery. The child should be monitored in an intensive care or a high-dependency (step-down) facility in the immediate postoperative period. ...

Significant difference (p,0.001) is noted between phosphate-treatment and untreated groups for both GA and BW: Median 27weeks and 929g for treated subjects versus 29.6weeks and 1343g if untreated. In the phosphate-treatment group, ALP levels improved (mean pre-treatment414U/l and post-treatment264U/l, p=0.0006) and difference in phosphate levels were also significant with p=0.003. Between phosphate-treatment group versus untreated group, differences were insignificant for ALP (p=0.05) and phosphate levels (p=0.09), though this may reflect insufficient subsequent MBD screens (treatment group, n=15 versus untreated group, n=7). ...

Whats old may be new again - at least when it comes to the prevention of fractures in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density.. A study published in the December 20 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine has provided evidence that doses administered once per 18 months of Reclast (zoledronate), a drug that first received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in the early 2000s, may help reduce the risk for fractures among women 65 years and older with osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis, the progressive bone-eroding condition that affects an estimated 12 million Americans, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF). The IOF estimates that more than 30 million U.S. adults (roughly 80 percent of them women) have osteopenia that will likely progress to the more severe form of the condition as they age.. More fractures occur in women with osteopenia than occur in those with osteoporosis, yet no treatment has been demonstrated to be effective in this ...

My expertise is in the area of skeletal tissue biology. I have studied skeletal biology for more than 30 years and have broad knowledge across many areas in the field, including metabolic bone disease and orthopedic-related diseases. I have carried out numerous preclinical assessments of pharmacological compounds as they relate to safety and efficacy in the treatment of fracture and osteoporosis. I have expertise in skeletal tissue structure and the histomorphometric assessment of skeletal tissues. I was among the first four labs in the United States to develop in vitro osteoblast cultures and helped to establish the standard time dependent sequence of osteogenic differentiation in vitro. My laboratory also was one of four to initially isolate the proteins and clone the major extracellular matrix proteins of bone. I have served on the NIH IRG for Orthopedics, NASA review panels for skeletal tissue biology and the DOD review panels for orthopedic related research.. ...

Osteopenia,lower bone density puts you at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis eventually and is often associated with aging.

We believe that every child deserves to live an active lifestyle with hope for a bright future. Thats why we are so steadfast in treating children with brittle bone disease or osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that encourages regular fractures and a lifetime of surgeries, casts and periods of immobility. Our goal is to increase the quality of life of children with OI through compassionate care, advanced medical options and continued research aimed at a cure.

In 1990 the bone condition called osteopenia - slight thinning of the bones - didnt exist. Today all over America women are diagnosed with osteopenia and given medication. This is the story of how a drug companys marketing efforts changed the definition of a disease and created a new category of people who saw themselves as needing treatment. Katie Benghauser was diagnosed with osteopenia and takes Fosamax.
