Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

Th low viscosity cement injection is safe in vertebroplasty procedure with Comparacle out come in pain relief.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis in adult patients with haemophilia.

The data of calibrated CT-scans will be used for the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) analysis for SMR Short Stem in identified hospitals in EU and US as developers of the project and for further research, upon subject acceptance. In particular, the Quantitative Computer Tomography (QTC)/Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model of the assembly consisting of the shoulder and the orthopaedic implant allows detailed analyses including: assessment of micromotion at the bone-implant interface, to predict osseointegration; comparison of strains/stresses between the intact bone tissue and the bone with the implant in order to predict the stress shielding phenomenon.

The aim of this study is to identify potential risk factors for fragility fractures in men.

Despite the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in the HIV positive population, relatively little is known about the underlying pathology. This prospective cohort study aims to gain further understanding about a number of issues relating to low bone mineral density in HIV-infected subjects.

Aim of the study is to analyze results of treatment of proximal humerus fractures with mini-invasive technique and plate fixation. In all the patients a analysis of presence of osteoporosis will be done, clinical and x-ray results will be statistically analyzed to evidence any connection between clinical outcomes and osteoporosis.

The investigators planned to study relationship between osteoporosis and arterial rigidity within fractured patients cohort.
