Can the increase of bone mineral density following bisphosphonates treatments be explained by biomechanical considerations?

Osteoporosis has become an important health and economic problem of our aging western society. This metabolic illness leads to a net bone loss and to a deterioration of trabecular architecture. Motivated by the fact that osteoporosis may also result in a d ...
BACKGROUND: A theoretical model and an experimental setup were specifically designed to identify and determine the delay of the cortical bone response (restricted to mineralization and demineralization) to a stress change. METHODS: The in vivo experiment c ...
In an attempt to increase the life of cementless prostheses, an hydroxyapatite-coated implant which releases a bisphosphonate has been suggested as a drug-delivery system. Our in vitro study was designed to determine the maximum dose to which osteoblasts c ...
In order to decrease the peri-implant bone loss during the life-time of the implant, oral use of anti-osteoporosis drugs (like bisphosphonates) has been suggested. In this study, bone remodeling parameters identified from clinical trials of alendronate wer ...
Motivated by applications in orthopaedic surgery, new constitutive laws for trabecular (or spongious) bone are developed in the framework of continuum mechanics, implemented in a mechanical analysis computer program, validated by a number of in vitro exper ...
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is today a routine procedure executed more than 800'000 times per year worldwide. THR gives generally satisfactory results, although the quality of outcome is inversely proportional to the age of the patient. In parallel, there ...
This review discusses the abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism encountered in thyroid disorders. Thyroid hormones probably stimulate bone resorption directly, thereby increasing serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations and suppressing serum para ...
CONTEXT: Leptin was initially proposed to be the antiobesity hormone. Now it is realised that leptin is more a signal molecule that communicates nutritional status to the brain, and that it is involved in bone formation by having an antiosteogenic action. ...
