اندومتریوز چیست؟ اندومتریوز یکی از بیماری های شایع در زنان است که می تواند موجب ناباروری در زنان شود از جمله روش های درمانی اندومتریوز استفاده از داروهای ضد درد، هورمون درمانی و لاپاراسکوپی می باشد. همچنین IVF یکی از موثرترین تکنیک های کمک باروری برای زنان مبتلا به اندومتریوز می باشد.

پوکی استخوان بیماری متابولیک استخوان است که بیش از 200 میلیون نفر را در سراسر جهان تحت تاثیر قرار داده است(1). این بیماری سبب شکنندگی و تحلیل استخوان ها می گردد و فرد را مستعد شکستگی می کند. با توجه به هزینه های درمان و پیامدهایی که این بیماری در پی دارد، پیشگیری و چکاپ منظم می تواند بسیار موثر واقع شود. در ادامه به نکاتی اشاره شده است که می تواند به پیشگیری از پوکی استخوان کمک کند. هم چنین مقدمه ای برای آشنایی با روش های موجود جهت چکاپ این بیماری ارائه شده است. پیشگیری از پوکی استخوان(2): نکاتی وجود دارد که می تواند به حفظ تراکم استخوان کمک کند. برای این که روند تحلیل استخوان ها آهسته شود، شما می توانید: غذاهای سرشار از کلسیم و ویتامین دی مصرف کنید. از مصرف نوشیدنی های الکلی و سیگار بپرهیزید. ورزش: سعی کنید روزانه سی دقیقه ورزش کنید. از…

سندرم تخمدان پلی کیستیک یا PCOS یکی از اختلالات مزمنی است که اتیولوژی و پاتولوژی آن هنوز به طور کامل درک نشده است. در این مقاله داده های مربوط به داروهایی بررسی شده است که اندیکاسیونی برای PCOS ندارند اما به منظور درمان علائم این بیماری به کار می روند.

Osteoporotic bone presents a challenge for the treating spine surgeon, and techniques to overcome the difficulty of cervical spine fixation in these patients are lacking. A 75-year-old woman with osteoporosis presented with cervical myelopathy and was found to have multiple-level cervical stenosis and C3-4 degenerative instability. The patient underwent anterior cervical discectomy fusion and plating from C3-7, with vertebroplasty polymethylmethacrylate augmentation through the screw pilot holes. Because of the patient's grossly soft bone, she also underwent postoperative halo placement.

Despite national guidelines recommending bone mineral density screening with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in women aged 65 years and older, many women do not receive initial screening. To determine the effectiveness of health system and patient-level interventions designed to increase appropriate DXA testing and osteoporosis treatment through (1) an invitation to self-refer for DXA (self-referral); (2) self-referral plus patient educational materials; and (3) usual care.

The object of this study was to examine the efficacy of preoperative teriparatide treatment for increasing the insertional torque of pediclescrews during fusion surgery in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Fusion surgery for the thoracic and/or lumbar spine was performed in 29 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged 65-82 years (mean 72.2 years). The patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they were treated with teriparatide (n = 13) or not (n = 16) before thesurgery. In the teriparatide-treated group, patients received preoperative teriparatide therapy as either a daily (20 μg/day, n = 7) or a weekly (56.5 μg/week, n = 6) injection for a mean of 61.4 days and a minimum of 31 days. During surgery, the insertional torque was measured in 212 screwsinserted from T-7 to L-5 and compared between the 2 groups. The correlation between the insertional torque and the duration of preoperativeteriparatide treatment was also investigated.

The incidence of vertebral fragility fractures and deformity increase steeply with age. Every sixth woman and every twelfth man will sustain a symptomatic vertebral fracture. Vertebral fractures result in pain, functional disability and decreased quality of life, which may last for several years, and may also affect mortality. The patient with an acute fracture should be examined with radiology for diagnosis. In case of a low-energy fracture, osteoporosis should be suspected and investigated.

Falls leading to osteoporotic fracture is a substantial issue clinically. By inference from the literature, women with osteoporosis who are classified as having a history of falls may not represent a distinct homogeneous population. However, studies exploring the potential heterogeneity within fallers in women with osteoporosis are scarce. The objective of this study was to better understand the physical function characteristics of women with osteoporosis, with and without a previous history of falls, by further stratifying them based on their single-leg stance (SLS) performance.
