[According to the results of a recent clinical trial, the antiresorptive effect of a single 60-mg injection of denosumab, a monoclonal antibody specific to RANKL (receptor activator of NFκB ligand) substantially exceeds the effect of alendronate (70 mg weekly). Despite these differences, 1-year increases in bone density at the lumbar spine are virtually identical for both agents. The author summarizes experimental and clinical observations illustrating potential consequences of osteoclast... tovább »
[Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to RANKL modifying bone resorption in a rapid, sustained and reversible way. In postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density, denosumab 60 mg every 6 months increased mineral density, and reduced bone turnover. In postmenopausal women, it reduced the risk of vertebral, hip, and non-vertebral fractures. Increase in body mass index and reduction in bone turnover was more pronounced with denosumab than with alendronate. In patients who were... tovább »
[Among fractures attributable to osteoporosis, hip fractures are associated with the most severe consequences and the greatest costs. Surgical therapy for this condition is continuing to improve. Increasingly recent implants and techniques are being developed and introduced to successfully control postoperative adverse events. The authors briefly outline actual practice in Hungary and present some results of the follow-up of their patients in the last decade. These show that, in order to... tovább »
[Consequences of osteoporotic bone fractures are increased mortality, decreased quality of life, and increased direct and indirect costs. After the assessment of remaining function and the level of independence, the goal of rehabilitation is to reach the highest level of function and independence possible, thus decreasing morbidity and mortality, improving the overall quality of life, and decreasing costs.]
[The authors briefly present the role of the physiotherapist in the treatment of osteoporosis. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of locomotion system problems is analyzed. The authors’ specific focus is the complex physiotherapeutic treatment of osteoporotic hip fractures. They propose a prevention program involving locomotion exercises for the prevention of falls. Analyzing the physiotherapists’ activities, the authors describe the most important aspects of patient education and... tovább »
[INTRODUCTION - Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) examination of the bones provides information about not only bone mineral mass but also its quality. Adaptation of the method to the continuous growing of body size allowed its pediatric use. However, for introduction into routine use, a normal reference range in healthy children has to be established. The primary aim of this study was to establish the Hungarian reference range for QUS of the bone - in both genders and across a wide range of ages.... tovább »
