[The authors surveyed the international literature concerning the prevalence and importance of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, then presented the modern diagnostic techniques (semiquantitative visual and quantitative morphometry, densitometry). These data indicates that plain X-rays, commonly used in everyday practice, underestimate the prevalence of vertebral fractures, therefore morphometric methods are also needed for more accurate fracture risk assessment.]
[Osteoporosis is commonly associated with certain gastrointestinal diseases. Osteoporosis occurs most often in patients with coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic liver disease and following gastric surgery. Prevention, diagnosis and therapy are based on the experiences with elderly and postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis. In this review, we summarise the clinical data regarding bone loss associated with gastrointestinal diseases.]
[Bisphosphonates play a substantial role inthe treatment of postmenopausal osteo-porosis. Ibandronate is the first bisphos-phonate that can be used both orally andintravenously. A number of studies haveproved that ibandronate reduces boneturnover, increases bone mineral densityand reduces the risk of vertebral fractures.It is a well-known fact that the patients’adherence to oral medications is very poorthroughout the world. So far, very fewinternational studies have been performedon the patients’ compliance in medicinetaking. The BOUNCE study, carried out inseveral countries including Hungary tostudy the adherence of patients in the oralintake of ibandronate, aims to fill this gap.]
