Hidden Causes of Osteoporosis

Hidden Causes of OsteoporosisThe connection between osteoporosis and low levels of calcium in the body is fairly well known by doctors and patients alike. But there are a number of secondary causes of osteoporosis. Certain medical conditions, and even some medications, have been shown to increase a person’s risk of the disease. Tune in as Dr. Martin Nydick discusses these secondary causes of osteoporosis.

Keywords: osteoporosis, calcium, bone, bones, bone scan, broken bones, bone density, calcium supplements, osteoporosis treatments, bone density test, bone loss, thin bones, thinning bones, risk factors, estrogen, secondary causes, steroid use, glucocorticoids, COPD, asthma, aluminum, malabsorption syndrome, sprue, celiac disease, hypogonadism, thyroid hormone, hypothyroidism, medications, side effects, antacids

Bone Density Test Overview

Bone Density Test OverviewOsteoporosis is a disease that affects millions of women and men around the world. But with early detection, the serious consequences of osteoporosis can often be prevented. Join Dr. Joseph Lane and his staff as they take a patient through a bone density test, one of the most effective diagnostic techniques available today.

Keywords: osteoporosis, thin bones, thinning bones, bone loss, menopause, fracture, hip fracture, vertebral fracture, spine fracture, wrist fracture, bone density, BMD, bone mass, dexa scan, bone density test, diagnosis, risk factors, smoking, women, calcium, Asian, Caucasian, estrogen, treatment, hormones, bone scan, white, oriental, thin, thin frame, estrogen deficiency, age, exercise, calcium, vitamin D, diet, steroids, thyroid hormone, medications, malabsorption, sprue, celiac disease, steroid, glucocorticoid, asthma, copd, family history

Choosing Bone Density Tests

Choosing Bone Density TestsPeople with osteoporosis are often unaware that they have the disease until they sustain a fracture, which can result from the slightest accident. For this reason, screening for osteoporosis is an important health precaution for many women at risk. Tune in as we discuss bone density testing and those people who should consider getting screened for this silent disease.

Keywords: osteoporosis, thin bones, thinning bones, bone loss, menopause, fracture, hip fracture, vertebral fracture, spine fracture, wrist fracture, bone density, BMD, bone mass, dexa scan, bone density test, diagnosis, risk factors, smoking, women, calcium, Asian, Caucasian, estrogen, treatment, hormones, bone scan, white, oriental, thin, thin frame, estrogen deficiency, age, exercise, calcium, vitamin D, diet, steroids, thyroid hormone, medications, malabsorption, sprue, celiac disease, steroid, glucocorticoid, asthma, copd, family history

Getting a Bone Density Test

Getting a Bone Density TestOsteoporosis has long been a concern for any woman approaching her senior years, but until recent recent years there were few treatment options. Now that medical advances have opened up a broad array of treatment strategies, testing for osteoporosis — bone density testing — has become a greater imperative for women at risk. Join our panel of experts as they discuss this test and how it can help you.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic SurgeryA tiny camera called laparoscope can be used to peek inside the body and diagnose disease. Learn how this minimally invasive technique is now being used for intestinal surgery.

Lipodystrophy in HIV Disease

Lipodystrophy in HIV DiseaseLipodystrophy is a condition that many people with HIV develop. Their appearance can change dramatically and they may experience dangerous cholesterol levels. In this webcast, learn more about this recently recognized syndrome, its possible causes, and how it is linked to long-term HIV survival.

Update on Lipodystrophy in HIV

Update on Lipodystrophy in HIVFat changes known as lipodystrophy can be very disturbing to people receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV. Listen to experts discuss some important preliminary data showing some features of lipodystrophy may be reversible.

Keywords: AIDS complication, HIV complication, lipodystrophy, HIV, HAART, antiretroviral therapy, protease inhibitors, PIs, nucleoside analogs, Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, NRTI, NRTIs, Non Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, NNRTI, NNRTIs, lipoatrophy, insulin resistance, HOPS, HIV Outpatient Study, Avandia, rosiglitazone, human immunodeficiency syndrome, highly active antiretroviral therapy, cholesterol, lipid levels, hypercholesterolemia

Secondary Stroke Prevention

Secondary Stroke PreventionIf you've suffered a stroke, one of your greatest concerns should be preventing a second stroke. Currently, 40 percent of stroke survivors have a second stroke within five years. And a repeat stroke is frequently more devastating than the first. But there are things you can do to keep a second attack at bay. Join our panel of experts for a discussion of prevention issues specific to stroke survivors.
