Factors Associated With High Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Bronchiectasis
This study was the first to evaluate both the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in a large cohort of patients with bronchiectasis and its relationship with other variables, including clinical, body composition and bone turnover, and inflammation markers.
Teriparatide Similarly Effective for Fracture Healing, Pain Relief as Vertebroplasty
Treatment with either teriparatide or percutaneous vertebroplasty significantly and similarly improved quality of life and reduced pain in patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
