Term
def. is: low bone mass and architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture
Definition
osteoporosis
Term
T/F is when bone resorption eceeds bone deposition
Definition
true
Term
T/F the cycle of osteoblastic vs osteoclastic is equal leading to an increased bone density
Definition
False unequal and causes decrease
Term
is accelerated after?
Definition
menopause
Term
these are all: advanced age
female
thin small frame
family hx
ethnicity
postmenopausal
Definition

ERT, bisphosphonates, SERMS, and Parathyroid hormones are all...
Definition
pharmacological interventions
Term
ERT is
Definition
Estrogen Replacement Therapy, no longer used to tx osteo
Term
this increases non-bone resorption and increases bone density
Definition
Bisphosphonates
Term
Fosamax, actonel, boniva, reclast are all meds under
Definition
bisphosphonates
Term
this mimics effects of estrogen w/o uterine/breast tissue stimulation. Increases bone density
Definition
SERMS (selective estrogen receptor modulators)
Term
evista, this tx not used w/ pts with hx of dvt
Definition
SERMS (selective estrogen receptor modulators)
Term
only med found to stimulate new bone formation (others only prevent bone loss)
ex: forteo
Definition
Parathyroid hormones
Term
NSAIDS (ex: aspirin), muscle relaxants, TENS unit (electrical stimulant unit for distraction, PT, heat are all...
