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)

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...

UW scientists one step closer to stopping bone loss during spaceflight
Bone loss in long-duration spaceflight has been identified for decades as a significant problem affecting astronauts. More recently, scientists have found that the absence of gravity is causing astronauts on the International Space Station to lose up to 10 times more bone mass in key regions of the body each month than most post-menopausal women... 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)
Measures of healthcare quality are of little use to patients
Californian patients deciding where to have surgery cannot rely on published data for information about quality, research in the BMJ has shown. Researchers looked at all available measures of quality and risk for surgical procedures in California in 1999. Data was available for 21 procedures - only 12% of those carried out in the state. There were... view more... (2004-01-17)

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)
Study finds link between hot flashes and lower bone density in women
esearchers and colleagues analyzed data for 2,213 women between the ages of 42 and 52 who participated in the bone sub-study of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to determine whether women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) - which include hot flashes and night sweats - had lower bone mineral density. view more (2009-05-06)
Popular diabetes treatment could trigger pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer
A drug widely used to treat Type 2 diabetes may have unintended effects on the pancreas that could lead to a form of low-grade pancreatitis in some patients and a greater risk of pancreatic cancer in long-term users, UCLA researchers have found. view more (2009-05-01)
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)
Lap band gastric bypass surgery improves insulin resistance
A new study examining the overall and gender-related effects of laparoscopic gastric banding surgery (LGBS) on insulin resistance, body composition, and metabolic risk markers six months post-surgery has found significant improvements in insulin resistance. The improvements occurred despite continuing obesity. view more (2007-05-01)
Bones from calves good for fastening tooth implants
On Friday, November 8, Mats Hallman, Department of Odontology, Jaw Surgery, Ume'å University in Sweden, will defend a thesis that presents favorable results from implanting bone powder from calves to anchor tooth implants in humans. Tooth implants have long been a well-tested method to create permanent teeth in toothless sections of the jaw.... view more... (2002-11-05)

Nanowire coating for bone implants, stents
University of Arkansas researchers have found a simple, inexpensive way to create a nanowire coating on the surface of biocompatible titanium that can be used to create more effective surfaces for hip replacement, dental reconstruction and vascular stenting. view more (2007-08-28)
Risk of Blood Poisoning Rises as Medical Treatment Improves
Living longer and better medical treatments such as organ transplants and cancer therapy are all paradoxically increasing our risk of blood poisoning, according to experts in bacterial infections speaking at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Monday 7 April 2003. "The two commonest causes of blood... view more... (2003-04-02)
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)
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)
Diabetes, hypertension and obesity negatively effect joint replacement outcomes
Using a database of nearly 1 million Americans who underwent major joint replacement surgery, a team led by researchers at Duke University Medical Center have determined those surgical patients with diabetes, hypertension or obesity were significantly more likely to suffer post-operative complications. view more (2005-06-01)
