Summary: Osteoporosis is a lifelong chronic condition requiring long-term management. Conventional first-line anti-resorptive therapies often yield slow BMD improvement and may plateau after years of treatment. Recent AACE/ACE guidelines recommend anabolic agents as initial therapy in patients with severe osteoporosis or very high fracture risk; however, even anabolic monotherapy may be insufficient, with ...
Summary: Maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) after discontinuing denosumab (Prolia) is a major clinical challenge, as rapid bone loss commonly occurs when treatment is stopped, especially after more than three years of use. Standard sequential therapy with bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid (Aclasta) often fails to fully prevent BMD decline, and most bone loss occurs within the first year, making e...
Summary: Randomized, placebo controlled prospective trial evaluating the effect of denosumab on insulin sensitivity and muscle strength.
