Riassunto

Since 1997, "Fast Facts: Osteoporosis" has kept clinicians abreast of important advances in the diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disease. As well as background chapters that clarify the pathophysiology of the condition and the homeostatic determinants of peak bone acquisition and maintenance, this book highlights the identification of at-risk individuals, the latest techniques for measuring bone mass, factors influencing the choice of intervention and recent developments in both the therapeutic and diagnostic arenas. Now in its fifth edition, "Fast Facts: Osteoporosis" provides a fully updated, clinically relevant guide to the successful management of osteoporosis.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

... contains essential facts about the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical features of osteoporosis. There is enough information on diagnosis and management, including an account of bone densitometry investigation. The chapters on hormone replacement therapy and non-hormonal therapy should help not only practising doctors but also other health professionals. --The Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, on the third edition
