Open AccessExercise and the prevention of major osteoporotic fractures in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis with special emphasis on intensity progression and study duration
The role of exercise in preventing osteoporotic fractures is vague, and further recommendations for optimized exercise protocols are very rare. In the present work, we provided positive evidence for exercise e...

Open AccessMyostatin and markers of bone metabolism in dermatomyositis
In dermatomyostis (DM) patients, inflammation, reduced activity, and medication have a negative impact on the musculoskeletal system. Several endocrine factors are involved in muscle growth and bone turnover.

Open AccessEffectiveness of anti-osteoporotic treatment after successful parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
After successful surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, bone mineral density (BMD) does not improve equally in all patients. As no trial has so far aimed to influence normalization of BMD, it was the goal of...
