Description
Metabolic bone degeneration (osteoporosis) affects millions of people--primarily postmenopausal women--and is directly responsible for debilitating hip, vertebral, and limb fractures in the elderly. Incorporating advances made within just the past five years, The Osteoporotic Syndrome: Detection, Prevention, and Treatment serves as an up-to-date, practical guide to the major clinical aspects of osteoporosis. The text is liberally illustrated with detailed figures. As a resource for the clinician dealing with metabolic bone degeneration, this book represents an excellent source of information on the diagnosis and day-to-day management of osteoporosis. - Topics covered include: - Therapy with Vitamin D metabolites, sodium fluoride, thiazides, and isoflavones - Biochemical markers of bone turnover - Calcium, Vitamin D, and bone metabolism - Estrogens and tissue selective estrogens for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis - The effects of osteoporosis on orthopaedic surgery - The therapy of glucocorticoid bone disease - Effects of aging on bone structure and metabolism - Management of osteoporotic patients in our health care delivery system - The genetics of osteoporosis - Bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis - Calcitonin - Bone mass measurement techniques in clinical practice - Osteoporosis and the bone biopsy
