If you’re someone who’s at risk for developing osteoporosis, you’re probably well-accustomed to receiving regular bone density tests. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a radiologic ...

Research presented at WCO suggests men are referred too late for osteoporosis screening, with significantly lower survival ...

Bone loss in patients with kidney stone disease, particularly in men, has been underappreciated in clinical practice, according to investigators. Many patients with kidney stones concurrently have or ...

An AI tool could flag patients at risk for osteoporosis or osteopenia by evaluating standard hip and pelvis x-rays, new research showed. The tool could benefit early intervention for low bone mineral ...

Most tools used to assess the risk of fractures and osteoporosis rely on bone density alone, but these may miss a large ...

Performing a DEXA scan at the time of celiac disease (CeD) diagnosis is the optimal approach for detecting early bone mineral density (BMD) loss, a new study of more than 600 patients suggested. The ...

The following is a response to Froma Harrop's March 20 column, "Expensive care that hurts patients," which lists many possible opportunities to reduce the cost of health care. She suggests that one ...

Scientists have identified a little-known receptor, GPR133, as a powerful regulator of bone strength. By activating it with a newly discovered compound called AP503, they were able to boost bone ...

Research links regular exercise to better bone density. Scientists found that people who were more sedentary were less likely to have good bone density. Doctors generally recommend a specific exercise ...

Treatment with biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs failed to mitigate bone mineral density ...
