Synopsis:
In this volume, the authors address the basic and clinical components of osteoporosis in a unique format. The text carefully couples discussions of the basic biology of bone with parallel discussions of accompanying clinical issues and treatment strategies. By recruiting international experts in each segment and by ensuring that parallel basic and clinical chapters are well coordinated, the full spectrum of osteoperosis can be appreciated. The book focuses on topics of fundamental importance to the field, as well as those that are of current interest and debate. Coverage includes chapter on bone mass measurements using radiographic and ultrasound densitometry; the effects of calcium and, vitamin D on bone mass, as well as the varying therapies including bisphosphonates, calcitonin, estrogens, fluoride, SERMS and adrogens. An essential chapter covers the modality of integrating the practice of prevention with a therapeutic regimen. Osteoperosis: Pathophysiology and Clinical Managment allows readers the opportunity to approach questions from a variety of clinical and basic science backgrounds.
