To assess the use of quantitative bone scanning (QBS) in the monitoring of patients with intravenous pamidronate-treated symptomatic monostotic Paget's disease of bone in whom biochemical markers of bone turnover are relatively normal. Methods. QBS was performed in 9 patients and the results were e

We have compared the use of new markers of bone turnover in the assessment and treatment of Paget disease and made observations on the mechanisms of bone resorption. Urine hydroxyproline (Hyp) as a bone resorption marker and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as a bone formation marker have traditiona
In this study , serum levels of classical serum markers of bone formation [carboxyterminal propeptide of procollagen type I (S-PICP), bone Gla protein (S-BGP)], and total alkaline phosphatase (S-AP)) were related to the calcium kinetic index of whole skeletal mineralization rate (m) by regression an
Background: Vitamin D is essential for osteopenia therapy in Crohn's disease (CD). The active form of vitamin-D (aVD) is the 1,25(OH)2D. There are no data available whether aVD or plain vitamin-D (pVD) has any advantage in managing osteoporosis in CD or has any effect on the activity of the disease
