Osteoporosis

Surgeons compared traditional and new fully hydroxyapatite-coated hip replacement stems. They found the new stems offer larger contact areas, while traditional ones preserve bone density long-term. This insight aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce revision surgeries. Needing a hip replacement is unfortunate, but even more unfortunate is to need to do it again. Surgeons

The shape of a person's kneecap could be an indicator of whether they're more at risk of developing osteoarthritis, according to a new study. The shape of a person's kneecap could be an indicator of whether they're more at risk of developing osteoarthritis, according to a new study from The Australian National University (ANU). According

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of muscles following resistance exercise. Newly published research from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning algorithm that outperformed existing computer-based osteoporosis risk prediction methods, potentially leading to earlier diagnoses and better outcomes for patients with osteoporosis risk. Osteoporosis is so difficult to detect in early stage it's called the "silent disease." What if artificial intelligence could help predict a patient's chances of having

The bone-resorbing effects of teriparatide while preserving its bone-promoting effects. This discovery could potentially lead to the development of more effective and safer treatments for osteoporosis, offering hope for improved quality of life for the aging population

Of decades before starting to decline. To maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life, it is important to build and maintain peak bone density through proper nutrition, regular weight-bearing exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices. Taking proactive steps to support bone health in early adulthood can have a significant impact on long-term skeletal strength and overall well-being. Whether you're a young adult looking to maximize your bone density or someone seeking to preserve bone health as you age, prioritizing bone health is essential for a strong and active future
