Once-yearly treatment significantly reduces bone fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis
Data to be published in this week's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine show that a once-yearly treatment significantly reduced the incidence of all types of osteoporotic bone fractures over three years in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. view more (2007-05-03)
Stem cells could halt osteoporosis, promote bone growth
While interferon gamma sounds like an outer space weapon, it's actually a hormone produced by our own bodies, and it holds great promise to repair bones affected by osteoporosis. view more (2009-03-05)
Vitamin D signals to prevent bone loss during osteoporosis
The risk of bone fracture resulting from falls increases as we age due to bone loss and osteoporosis. Physicians have routinely prescribed vitamin D and vitamin D-related drugs to retard bone loss, but until now, little was known about the specific targets of vitamin D in bone. view more (2006-01-20)
New Treatment Boosts Bone Healing and Re-Growth
A drug originally used to treat iron poisoning can significantly boost the body's own ability to heal and re-grow injured bones, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-01-10)
Breast density associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence
A new study finds that women treated for breast cancer are at higher risk of cancer recurrence if they have dense breasts. Published in the December 15, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study's results indicate that breast cancer patients with dense breasts may benefit from additional therapies... view more...

Researchers Develop Criteria to Detect Bone Mass Deficiencies in Children with Chronic Diseases
Pediatricians now have a practical tool to help determine whether children with chronic diseases like Crohn's, juvenile arthritis and anorexia nervosa -- or those undergoing cancer treatment -- are at increased risk for bone mass deficiencies, fracture or osteoporosis as they get older. view more (2007-06-07)
'Magic formula' accurately predicts fracture risk in osteoporotic women
Researchers have developed a mathematic formula to predict a woman's risk of osteoporotic fracture. The equation has proved 75 percent accurate and will allow physicians to tailor their treatment strategies to help women prevent fractures of fragile bones. view more (2006-09-26)
Exercise in childhood and adolescence may stave off osteoporosis
Recent studies indicate that exercise can help build and maintain healthy bones. But just how early should one start?
