NOVEL COMBINATION THERAPY FOR OSTEOPOROSIS IN MEN
1. Background for the Study
What Is the Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures in Men and Why Do Men Lose Bone Mass? Osteoporosis is a neglected condition in men. Yet, men sustain approximately 30% of the 1.5 million fractures that occur annually in the US.
This is a 2-year single-arm intervention study of which intravenous paricalcitol will be provided as a second-line treatment to 30 chronic hemodialysis patients with severe SHPT (defined as intact parathyroid hormone [iPTH] ≥ 800pg/mL) resistant to existing vitamin D analogs treatment (including
Background:
The cardiovascular manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has been debated in many years. PHPT was once a highly symptomatic disease with severe symptoms. Today, the clinical presentation of the disease is often asymptomatic or with few symptoms at diagnose. This may be the
Background The majority of patients reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis have vascular calcifications. Those vascular calcifications tend to increase mortality in this specific population. It has been shown that high scores of vascular calcifications in a healthy patient with no
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Introduction: Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and it affects multiple systems of our body. It not only plays a key role in musculoskeletal system but also works on our immune and cardiovascular systems. Because of its wide range of anti-inflammatory and metabolic properties,
BACKGROUND. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions of people worldwide. Cardiovascular (CV) events cause more than 50% of the mortality risk in CKD patients, and the relative excess mortality is observed in younger patients, below 45 years of age. Decreased renal function led to changes in
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the appropriate dose of Vitamin D required to maintain Vitamin D sufficiency amongst Indian and Malay PMO women. The study will last for six months. 150 PMO women of Indian and Malay ethnicity will be randomly allocated into 3 different dosing regimens
The study evaluates if short-term treatment with calcimimetics may be used for patients with PHPT as a relevant guide in the decision of when to choose parathyroid surgery, by predicting the outcome of surgical treatment.
120 ± 2 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism scheduled for parathyroid
This study will enroll chronic kidney disease patients, stage 3 to 5ND, who have chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disease (CKD-MBD) and malnutrition as defined by Kidney Disease Improvement Global Outcome (KDIGO) Guidelines. Patients in five centers will be randomized. A total of 600 patients
The prospective pilot study is designed to evaluate vitamin D status pre-operatively and post-operatively in 37 female patients undergoing either Roux-en Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy at The Methodist Hospital with 32 patients expecting to complete the 12 week trial. Women scheduled for
Introduction:
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most frequent endocrine disorder, after diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders, that predominantly affects postmenopausal women, with an incidence of 1 -5 in 1000 people. It can occur at any age though young people are rarely affected.
The scientific purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of sVDRA(Selective Vitamin D Receptor Activator) in real-life clinical practice. This study will allow us to observe drug effectiveness in a distinct geography. Treatment effects, as well as maintenance of the results will be recorded
Pregnancy and lactation are both states of altered maternal calcium and bone metabolism which may have a significant impact on the development of peak bone mass. While these two states are characterized by different hormonal environments, both have been associated with significant bone loss. The
