Book Synopsis Bone Mineral Density and Atherosclerosis in Postmenopausal Women by : Muhammad Ibrahim
Download or read book Bone Mineral Density and Atherosclerosis in Postmenopausal Women written by Muhammad Ibrahim and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between Bone mineral density (BMD) and atherosclerosis in older postmenopausal women is a subject of increasing concern because of the great importance of atherosclerotic diseases in later life and the need to identify its potentially modifiable risk factors. This thesis was carried on 150 ambulant postmenopausal women apparently healthy (aging from 55 years old and above) in Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. Measurement of BMD of lumbar spine and femur neck by DEXA scan and measurement of intima-media thickness of both common and internal carotid arteries by ultrasonography with assessment of plaques and the degree of stenosis (if present) were carried out. The results of this study revealed that there is a statistically significant positive relation between the presence of plaques in carotid arteries and low BMD of both lumbar spine and femur neck. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for age and duration of menopause; osteoporosis of femur neck could be used as a predictor for atherosclerotic plaques in postmenopausal women.

Book Synopsis Dietary Calcium Intake and Bone Density Among Postmenopausal Women by : Esra Tajik
Download or read book Dietary Calcium Intake and Bone Density Among Postmenopausal Women written by Esra Tajik and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem and increases in women after their estrogen production decreases during menopause. Osteoporotic fracture can be an economic burden to health-care systems worldwide which eventually could lead to morbidity and mortality. This disease can be prevented and treated, but usually it remains silent until the first fracture occurs. There are many factors associated with bone mineral density among postmenopausal women while most of the studies consider two or three factors. The current study indicated several factors related to osteoporosis among postmenopausal women.
Book Synopsis Variability of Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Postmenopausal Women by : John Scariano
Download or read book Variability of Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Postmenopausal Women written by John Scariano and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation features two manuscripts that appeared recently in peer-reviewed publications, and a third report, submitted for publication, that identify biochemical and genetic factors that help explain the wide variability of bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry in a population of 226 healthy, elderly female volunteers. After the Introduction section, each manuscript is prefaced by a foreword and appears in a separate chapter. The first publication compares the diagnostic efficacy of two biochemical markers of bone metabolism for identifying women with decreased BMD. This report highlights the wide differences between individuals in the circulating levels of specific biochemical markers of bone resorption and formation in healthy women. Based on these findings, our immediate goal was to identify factors that help explain such broad variability in BMD and circulating levels of biochemical markers of bone turnover in elderly subjects. Our preliminary evidence indicated that measurement of biochemical markers of bone metabolism in serum enables the identification of subjects with osteoporosis.
Book Synopsis Biology of the Arterial Wall by : Bernard I. Levy
Download or read book Biology of the Arterial Wall written by Bernard I. Levy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology of the Arterial Wall is intended as a general reference text concerned with the biology of the vascular cells and the blood vessel wall under physiological and pathological conditions. One of the major functions of the arteries is to maintain a continuous blood flow to the organs whatever the pressure conditions, thanks to the vasomotor tone of the smooth muscle cells. Great advances have been made over the last decade in the understanding of the endothelial cells as integrators and transducers of signals originating from the blood stream. The pluripotent control functions of the endothelial cells in the vessel wall are now well recognized. A review of endothelial functions and dysfunctions is presented. Cell biology and molecular genetic studies have now identified an array of molecules elaborated by endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells and by the blood-borne elements which interact with artery cells, defending the artery against injury and modulating evolving abnormal processes. Molecules which induce or inhibit endothelial and/or smooth muscle cells are currently under great scrutiny. Angiogenesis, which plays a major role in tumor growth, but may also be beneficial as a healing process in muscle ischemia, is discussed. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, has only recently been recognized as an essential process in blood vessel modeling and remodeling. An overview of apoptosis in the vascular system is presented. It is increasingly evident that the adjustments of the blood vessel wall are made in the presence of deforming disease processes such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. The second part of the book is concerned with the blood vessel wall in disease conditions. Several chapters review the role of the vessel and vascular cells in inflammation, and vascular remodeling during arterial hypertension and aging. One chapter is devoted to atherogenesis, atheroma and plaque instability, followed by the pathophysiology of post-angioplasty restenosis, which is a crucial issue in modern interventional cardiology.

Book Synopsis Risk Factors for Osteoporosis and Oral Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women by :
Download or read book Risk Factors for Osteoporosis and Oral Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between skeletal and oral bone density, identify factors influencing bone loss, and determine the relationship between osteoporosis and oral bone loss, periodontal disease and tooth loss. We hypothesize that reduction in bone density leading to osteoporosis, plays a significant role in increasing susceptibility to destructive periodontitis and tooth loss. Sensitive and accurate measures of skeletal and oral bone mineral density, periodontal disease and tooth loss will be used. A wide variety of other risk factors for both osteopenia and periodontal disease will be assessed. Over 1300 subjects are being recruited from an ongoing NIH funded study cohort, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). This year preliminary findings were presented at the World Congress of Osteoporosis (June, 2000; Chicago). Data were presented for the first 608 study participants enrolled from the larger study of over 1400 women. These analyses found that lower skeletal bone mineral density (BMD) is related to poorer alveolar crest height. In addition, in a second analysis we found moderate alcohol intake to be associated with higher BMD.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the limited availability predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal and the cost implications of central DXA women was best done using DXA but that QUS devices, an assessment of the effectiveness of was comparable to DXA for the measurement of alternative devices is required to determine their BMD. [...] The precision of the observational studies, and three studies on tests was found to be 0.5% to 3% for DXA, economic considerations were included in this 1.5% to 6% for QUS, and 2% to 6% for QCT. [...] The Osteoporosis Society of Canada has conducted a systematic review of the literature A prospective study was conducted to compare on the diagnosis and management of DXA and QUS for fracture risk in osteoporosis.3 Two reviewers retrieved abstracts, postmenopausal women.13 Between 1990 and and at least two reviewers independently 1994, 5,119 women were selected for a DXA reviewed the literature. [...] In the QUS subgroup, the average age • level 3 - three of the criteria for level 1 met was 47.8 years, the average height was 1.61 m, • level 4 - one or two of the criteria for level 1 the average weight was 65.9 kg, and the average met. [...] The specificities were 81.6% for total DXA of the lumbar spine and QCT of the spine body, 71.3% for lumbar spine, 67.1% for total was used to measure BMD in 82 femur, 72.2% for femoral neck, and 69.6% for postmenopausal women with (n=39) or without stiffness.
