High-Trauma Fractures in Older Men and Women Linked to Osteoporosis
Researchers at the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) Research Institute are challenging a widely held belief that fractures resulting from major trauma, such as automobile accidents, are not related to osteoporosis, the common disease that makes bones weak and prone to fracture. view more (2007-11-29)
Modelling disease spread in a novel host: rabies in the European badger Meles meles
A recently published article in the December issue of Journal of Applied Ecology deals with the potential spread of classical (fox) rabies if it were to get into the badger population in Britain. Smith and Wilkinson's paper, and its findings, are not relevant to bat rabies, as bat rabies has only been recorded in terrestrial animals on three... view more... (2002-12-04)
Electronic health record triples rate of osteoporosis screenings
Use of the Electronic Health Record tripled the rate of osteoporosis screenings in women who are at risk for the disease, according to a study conducted recently by a team of Geisinger Health System researchers. view more (2006-12-08)
Researchers coat titanium with polymer to improve integration of joint replacements
Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that coating a titanium implant with a new biologically inspired material enhances tissue healing, improves bone growth around the implant and strengthens the attachment and integration of the implant to the bone. view more (2008-07-02)
Buyer beware: Estrogen supplements not as effective as claimed
Dietary supplements claiming to help postmenopausal women with bone health may not be doing what they say, according to new research from Purdue University. view more (2009-09-03)

Kaiser Permanente study shows electronic medical records and outreach improve osteoporosis care
Electronic medical records and outreach programs of e-mail messages, letters and phone calls to patients and their primary care providers after a bone fracture can dramatically improve the diagnosis and management of the patients' osteoporosis. view more (2007-10-23)
Molecular 'marker' on stem cells aids research, perhaps therapies
A sugar molecule present on embryonic stem cells also has been found on the surface of a type of adult stem cell, a discovery that may help researchers isolate and purify adult stem cells for use in therapies aimed at bone healing, tendon repair and cartilage regeneration, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. view more (2006-12-04)
Developmental drug may help bone fractures heal after radiation exposure
A drug currently under development by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine may help bone fractures heal more quickly after radiation exposure, according to a study by Pitt researchers. view more (2009-11-03)
Dental researchers ID new target in fight against osteoporosis, periodontitis
Osteoporosis and periodontitis are common diseases whose sufferers must cope with weakness, injury and reduced function as they lose bone more quickly than it is formed. view more (2009-05-19)
Three months in bed to simulate effects of long-duration Space Station missions
Spending a long time in a weightless environment has an impact on the human body, and evidence exists of changes to the bone and muscles of astronauts who have participated in long-duration missions in space. To cope with the requirements of long-stay missions aboard the International Space Station, the European Space Agency, together with the... view more... (2001-08-30)
Increasing evidence that osteoporosis begins in the womb
Recent evidence to suggest that osteoporosis has its origins in the womb will be presented by leading expert, Professor Cyrus Cooper, when he speaks at a symposium on osteoporosis at FOAD 2003, the Second World Congress on the Fetal Origins of Adult Diseases (FOAD), which takes place at the Brighton Conference Centre next month (7 - 10 June).... view more...

USC researchers discover breast cancer stem cells in bone marrow
Almost all tumor cells found in the bone marrow of early stage breast cancer patients appear to be breast cancer stem cells, suggesting the risk of disease spread for all breast cancer patients may be greater than previously thought. view more (2006-10-09)
Periodontal diseases are blind to age
Two new studies in the June issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP) suggest that periodontal diseases are a threat to women of all ages due to hormonal fluctuations that occur at various stages of their lives. view more (2007-06-13)
New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body
An international team of biomedical engineers has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to grow healthy new bone reliably in one part of the body and use it to repair damaged bone at a different location. view more (2005-07-26)
Eating out can have both positive and negative impact on obesity

Trimming the fat boosts blood recovery after marrow transplant
Seeking ways to improve blood recovery after chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have discovered that fat cells, which accumulate in bone marrow as people age, inhibit the marrow's ability to produce new blood cells. view more (2009-06-11)
Researchers believe hormone therapy should not be stopped prior to mammograms
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) are recommending that menopausal women on hormone therapy (HT) continue their treatment prior to having their annual mammogram screenings. view more (2009-09-29)
Scientists learn role of oxidative stress in estrogen-related bone loss
Scientists have discovered new information about an immune pathway in mice that explains how oxidative stress that results from acute estrogen deficiency leads to the loss of bone. view more (2007-09-11)
Man enjoys first meal for 9 years after new procedure for creating and transplanting jaw-bone graft (pp 735, 766)
"By the 4th week post-transplantation the patient enjoyed his first dinner in 9 years (bread and sausages); before reconstruction he had only been able to eat soft food and soup". view more (2004-08-25)
