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)
Studies unclear whether spinal cement procedure improves back pain
A procedure that fills in fractured vertebrae with injected cement has not been shown to improve a person's back pain or quality of life, according to a new analysis of studies. view more (2006-05-15)
Caltech scientists lead deep-sea discovery voyage
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and an international team of collaborators have returned from a month-long deep-sea voyage to a marine reserve near Tasmania, Australia, that not only netted coral-reef samples likely to provide insight into the impact of climate change on the world's oceans, but also brought to... view more...

Nanotubes inspire new technique for healing broken bones
Scientists have shown for the first time that carbon nanotubes make an ideal scaffold for the growth of bone tissue. The new technique could change the way doctors treat broken bones, allowing them to simply inject a solution of nanotubes into a fracture to promote healing view more (2005-07-11)
Scientific sub makes deep-sea discoveries
A four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean south-west of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. view more (2009-01-21)
Vitamin D deficiency is widespread and on the increase
Report shows that populations across the globe are suffering from the impact of low levels of vitamin D, with highest rates in South Asia and the Middle East. view more (2009-07-01)
Metabolic bone disease in cirrhosis patients
Long-standing liver disease has long been recognized to result in fragile bones with increased risk of fractures. In various international studies, the overall incidence has varied from 11% to 48%, with a fracture rate of 3%-44%. view more (2009-08-10)
Myostatin inhibitors may improve recovery of wartime limb injuries
Inhibiting a growth factor that keeps muscles from getting too big may optimize recovery of injured soldiers, researchers say. view more (2008-07-09)
A new super steel?
Australian researchers have created the ideal manufacturing material of the future - clean, green 'super steel' that is double the strength of normal steel and resistant to fracture. "Stronger steel means less material is required to support a load or resist a force, which should lead to lighter structures and vehicles," says Deakin... view more... (2002-08-18)
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)
Calcium supplements may be little help for healthy kids
There's little question that most kids get too little calcium, but a new review of evidence casts doubt on the value of supplements and calcium-fortified foods to build stronger bones. view more (2006-04-19)
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)
Researchers show the BEST way to reduce osteoporosis risk
Osteoporosis International, the leading clinical publication on the disease, published data from the Bone Estrogen Strength Training (BEST) Study at The University of Arizona which confirmed that a specific regimen of weight-bearing and resistance exercises, combined with calcium citrate supplement over four years, provided significant improvement... view more...

Toxins in cigarette smoke prevent stem cells from becoming cartilage
A toxic pollutant spread by oil spills, forest fires and car exhaust is also present in cigarette smoke, and may represent a second way in which smoking delays bone healing, according to research presented today at the annual meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in San Francisco. view more (2008-03-04)
Stricter control of air guns needed
The time has come for much stricter control of air guns, urges an editorial in Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-03-21)
Skeletal microdamage stable after first year
Skeletal microdamage resulting from bisphosphonate treatment may be maximal during the first year of treatment, and not continue to accumulate with longer periods of treatment, according to new research being presented today at the 28th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR). view more (2006-09-21)
Merck's odanacatib increased BMD over 2 years at key fracture sites in Phase IIB study
Two-year data from a Phase IIB study of odanacatib (formerly MK-0822), an investigational, selective cathepsin-K inhibitor in development for the treatment of osteoporosis by Merck & Co., Inc., demonstrated dose- dependent increases in bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip, lumbar spine and femoral neck fracture sites and decreased... view more...

Unconventional natural gas reservoir in Pennsylvania poised to dramatically increase US Production
Natural gas distributed throughout the Marcellus black shale in northern Appalachia could conservatively boost proven U.S. reserves by trillions of cubic feet if gas production companies employ horizontal drilling techniques. view more (2008-01-18)
Hip resurfacing is not for everyone
Hip resurfacing is often seen as a modern alternative to the more conventional total hip replacement, but new data from a study led by Rush University Medical Center suggest that a patient's age and gender are key to the operation's success. view more (2008-11-04)
Vitamin K does not stem BMD decline in postmenopausal women with osteopenia
In a randomized controlled trial called the "Evaluate the Clinical use of vitamin K Supplementation in Postmenopausal Women with Osteopenia" (ECKO) trial, Angela Cheung and colleagues at the University of Toronto found that a high dose daily vitamin K1 supplement did not protect against age-related bone mineral density (BMD) decline. view more (2008-10-14)
