Influence of the levels of vitamin D on T-score in HIP measured by DXA of colombian postmenopausal women

Buendia Richard , Cardenas Santiago , Zambrano Monica , Buendia Andres , Varon Maria De Los Angeles , Mier Heidy Carolina , Morales Alejandra , Alejo Adriana , Sanchez Diego

Introduction: The 25hydroxyvitamin(OH)D deficiency has been linked to the risk of postmenopausal fractures and osteoporosis. In Colombia,the prevalence of 25(OH)vitaminD deficiency is high, reaching more than 53% of the total population. It can be stated that hip fracture is one of its most feared complications, with a high risk of mortality and morbidity,which can affect even osteopenic patients. The objective of this study is to assess modifications in hip T-score (using dua...

Osteoporosis is a pandemic chronic non communicable disease, with worldwide expansion. This condition and the resulting bone fracture are a maor cause of disability and mortality for millions of people worlwide. Frax is an algoritm that relies on a questionnaire for the prediction of bonefracture. This algoritm it is called Frax and its estimates the probability in % to have a fracture in the following 10 years. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether patients lifes...

Arai Hiroshi , Kanai Yugo , Nakamoto Yuji , Nagai Hiroki , Sakamori Yuichi , Yasoda Akihiro , Inagaki Nobuya

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by the abnormal production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in the tumor. Here we report a case of TIO with pulmonary adenocarcinoma. A 61-year old woman was referred to our hospital. She was suffering from severe polyarthralgia and bilateral limb weakness. Her blood chemistry revealed high alkaline phosphatase, low phosphate, low calcium, and low 1,25-(OH)2D3. Bone-scintigrap...

Acromegaly patients with vertebral fractures, have lower trabecular bone score despite no difference in bone mineral density, than non-fractured patients and healthy controls

Kuzma Martin , Vanuga Peter , Sagova Ivana , Pavai Dusan , Jackuliak Peter , Killinger Zdenko , Binkley Neil , Genant Harry , Payer Juraj

Introduction: Patients with acromegaly, despite normal or even high bone mineral density (BMD), have prevalent vertebral fractures (VFs). HR-pQCT studies in acromegaly have proposed that impaired trabecular bone microarchitecture possibly plays a role in fragility fracture development. As such, we hypothesized that trabecular bone score (TBS) would be low in patients with acromegaly.Aim of the study: To compare BMD and TBS in acromegaly patients with and...

Atypical femoral fracture-a possible complication in long term use of bisphosphonates (case report)

Florescu Alexandru , Lisnic Vasile , Galesanu Corina

One of the clinical complications associated with the long term use of bisphosphonates treatment in osteoporosis is the atypical femoral fracture (AFF).Even the absolute risk is low and acceptable compared with the number of fractures prevented, there are still reasonable concerns due to the wide prescription of bisphosphonates and the existence of several case series proving that bisphosphonates have a strong association with this unique fracture type. We present a case of a ...

Malignant hypercalcemia induced by denosumab discontinuation in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism

Camponovo Chiara , Rodriguez Elena Gonzalez

Context: Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that inactivates receptor activator of nuclear factor k-B ligand (RANKL), is used for osteoporosis treatment because of its potent anti-resorptive properties. Due to its reversible mode of action, bone resorption increases rapidly after its discontinuation and is accompanied by a quick loss of bone mineral density. Spontaneous vertebral fractures at this period have been recognized as secondary to the rebound of bone resorp...

An extremely high risk of recurrent fractures in an elderly patient, identified with the implementation of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) in a trauma hospital.

Rizina Diliara , Farba Leonid

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a serious problem all over the world. The presence of low-energy fractures increases the risk of repeated fractures twice. Each new fracture increases the risk of a fatal outcome in the future. Globally, the most effective model of re-fractures preventing in patients with osteoporosis is a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS). FLS main objectives are identification of patients, assessment of re-fractures risks, diagnosis and initiation of osteoporosis t...

Rapid washout in primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism and utility of dual radiopharmaceutical acquisition with ⁹⁹Tc-sestamibi-¹²³I for localization of parathyroid adenomas

Kushchayeva Yevgeniya , Kushchayev Sergiy , Tella Sri Harsha , Nostrand Douglas Van , Kulkarni Kanchan

99mTc-Sestamibi (SeS) is a standard tool for localization of adenomas/hyperplasia (PA) in hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), designed on the difference between thyroid and parathyroid tissue radiotracer washout on early and late scintigraphy phases. However, PA have been reported to washout as fast as normal thyroid tissue (rapid washout, RW), which may lead to diagnostic failure. The aim of the study was to determine a correlation of RW of SeS from parathyroid...

Trabecular bone score in patients with active acromegaly

Tsoriev Timur , Belaya Zhanna , Sasonova Natalia , Chernova Tatiana , Melnichenko Galina , Dedov Ivan

Introduction: In previous studies, it was noted that increased serum growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) lead to the increased vertebral fractures risk in patients with acromegaly. This may be explained by the altered quality of bone rather than bone mineral density (BMD) loss. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is an easily available tool to obtain some surrogate information on bone microarchitecture from a routine DXA.Objective: To ev...
