As our population ages, the proportion of frail elderly people requiring assisted accommodation in aged care facilities is increasing. This population is at high risk of falls and fractures, which bring significant morbidity and mortality.

Osteoporosis is a very common disease which causes suffering for the patient with reduced quality of life and increased mortality as a result. With an increasing lifespan of the global population, the incidence of osteoporosis also increases. The costs for society are huge, and are estimated to rise further if the care for patients remain unchanged. The knowledge among nurses about nursing interventions when it comes to osteoporosis is limited, and this gap needs to be filled to improve the nursing care.

Osteoporosis is the most common age-related bone disease. It is clinically symptomless until the first fracture happens and once diagnosed it is often found to be associated with low bone mineral density (LBMD) of T-Score ≤ -2.5. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been used successfully as promising biomarkers to diagnose and assess the progression of complex diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the effectiveness of treatment. This research aims to identify circulatory miRNAs associated with the progression of osteoporosis in a test group of patients using advanced

Abstract:
The literature is replete with reports of osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis, but the mechanism of bone loss remains obscure. This is probably due to the overlap with bone loss of aging and the menopause, whose exact mechanisms are also poorly understood. Against this background, a study was designed to evaluate generalised bone loss in young, premenopausal (if female), patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The protocol was designed to record demographic data, as well as information pertaining to the disease. Cortical bone mass was measured at the metacarpals and left femur, using an automated

In this regard, we identified a subset of miRNAs with altered expression in osteoporotic bone and demonstrate the functional involvement of some of those miRNAs in the regulation of bone formation and th

Osteoporosis is a general skeletal disorder. It is characterized by a low bone mass and a microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, which increase bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. LRP5 is a widely expressed member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor superfamily, which acts as a co-receptor for Wnt. Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in the development and maintenance of many organs and tissues, among others bone. In bone, LRP5 is expressed by osteoblasts and not by osteoclasts; however, little is known about its regulation. Genetic studies show that LRP5

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized with poor bone quality and low bone mineral density. The pathogenesis of osteoporosis is the imbalance of bone resorption and bone formation. Two strategies can be employed to cure osteoporosis. One is to inhibit bone resorption and the other is to stimulate bone formation. Currently, therapeutic drugs approved by FDA are mainly antiresorptive agents. Till now, there is only one bone anabolic agent approved. Obviously, more efforts should be poured into the development of bone anabolic agents. Sclerostin is a key negative regulator of osteoblast
