Are the high hip fracture rates among Norwegian women explained by impaired bone material properties?

Duarte-Sosa Daysi , Vilaplana Laila , Guerri Roberto , Nogues Xavier , Diez-Perez Adolfo , Eriksen Erik Fink

Hip+ fracture rate in Norway is the highest registered in World, and more than double that of Spanish women. Previous studies were unable to demonstrate significant differences between the two populations with respect to bone mass or calcium metabolism. In order to test, whether the difference in fracture propensity between both populations could be explained by differences in bone material quality we assessed bone material strength using microindentation in 41 Norwegian and 4...

Raised intracranial pressure in a boy with Pycnodysostosis with open fontanelles

Al Hashmi Laila , Padidela Raja , Skae Mars , Mughal M Zulf

Background: Pycnodysostosis (PDO) is a rare autosomal recessive high bone mass disorder caused by absence of active cathepsin K, which is a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays an important role in degrading the organic matrix of bones. In spite of open fontanelles, raised intracranial pressure has been reported in children with PDO.Presenting problem: We describe a 13-year-old boy with PDO who developed raised intracranial pressure (ICP) which led to ...

There is a growing evidence of the association between HIV infection and fracture risk. Independently of its cause (antiretroviral therapy (ART) or HIV), what remains most important is a prompt diagnosis. Although densitometry is the gold standard, sometimes this technique is not as accurate as necessary in clinical practice. A new validated tool for early and more accurate diagnosis is presented.MethodsIn a HIV group of patients, ...
