The objective of the study is to investigate vertebral bone marrow fat fraction and bone mineral density during surgery induced weight loss.
The first objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of standard HD with different dialysate calcium concentrations as well as HD combined with citrate-acid dialysate on the clearance of CPPs and second the effect of these different solutions…
Onset of effect of systemic therapy to enhance bone density (eg, bisphosphonates) is not immediate and may not adequately protect subjects with decreased bone density from fracture.Bisphosphonate therapy will typically require 2 to 3 years of active…
We examine whether the calcium intake from food in postmenopausal women with an ID suffice to the quantity calcium intake that is advised by the NHG-standard. If the conclusion of this study will be that the population is eating less calcium than is…
