If you have osteoporosis, your bones become porous and weak. As they lose strength, they are more likely to break. People with osteoporosis are particularly at risk for breaking these bones:
Upper arm
If you have osteopenia, you also have bone loss, but not as much as with osteoporosis. People with osteopenia are more likely to develop osteoporosis if something isn't done to stop the bone loss.
Cancer and some of its treatments can increase your risk for osteoporosis.
Gender words are used here to talk about anatomy and health risk. Please use this information in a way that works best for you and your provider as you talk about your care.
Bone is made of calcium and other minerals, which make it hard. Bone density refers to the mineral content of the bones. It is related to how hard and strong bones are. Low bone density is a trait of osteoporosis.
Like other tissues in the body, bone constantly repairs and renews itself. This process is called remodeling. Two kinds of cells carry out remodeling in bone:
Osteoclasts. Cells that break down (resorb) bone. They also release calcium into the blood.
Osteoblasts. Cells that create new bone. They also draw calcium from the blood.
A balance between the bone-building osteoblasts and the bone-dissolving osteoclasts keeps bones healthy.
In young people, bones lengthen and increase in density. But after about age 35, your bones start to lose density and strength. Most cases of osteoporosis result from the quicker bone loss. This can happen for any of these reasons:
Lower levels of the hormones estrogen and testosterone in the body
Lack of physical activity
Too little calcium, vitamin D, or both
Excessive alcohol use
Certain medicines, such as steroids, or those used to treat breast cancer
Osteoporosis is more common in women than in men. During menopause, the amount of estrogen made in a woman's ovaries greatly slows down. This hormone keeps the bone-dissolving activity of the osteoclasts in check. After menopause, the osteoblasts continue to build bone. But they can't keep up with the speed at which the osteoclasts break it down. If you don't take measures to prevent or slow bone loss, osteoporosis can occur.
In men, bone loss generally starts later and usually advances more slowly than it does in women. Men tend to have larger and stronger bones than women do. They also don't go through the sudden hormonal changes that occur with menopause. Still, as men age, they do lose bone density. In part, this is because of a natural decrease in testosterone. By age 65 or 70, men and women lose bone mass at similar rates. Calcium absorption, which is needed to keep bones healthy, also decreases in men and women.
Certain cancer treatments can increase the risk for osteoporosis for both men and women. Some chemotherapy medicines used for breast cancer can cause a loss of bone density. So can certain hormone therapies for breast and prostate cancer. A number of strategies can help prevent and treat osteoporosis. Talk about these options with your healthcare team.
If you have breast cancer, you may be at higher risk for osteoporosis than other women. Here are some of the reasons why:
Certain chemotherapy treatments used for breast cancer can cause the ovaries to stop making estrogen. That brings on menopause. Early menopause may also result when the ovaries are removed (oophorectomy). Or it can occur if you have radiation to your ovaries. These procedures are done to slow breast cancer growth because estrogen can cause some breast tumors to grow. But the sudden lowering of estrogen levels also causes rapid bone loss.
Some chemotherapy medicines may cause a loss of bone density.
In some breast cancers, the hormones estrogen and progesterone can speed up tumor growth. Hormone therapies are used to prevent this from happening but, at the same time, may speed up bone loss. Hormone therapy may include ovary ablation or taking medicines, such aromatase inhibitors:
Ovarian ablation. The inactivation of the ovaries can occur with surgery to take out the ovaries. Or it can occur when the ovaries are treated with radiation. Ovarian ablation can also be done with medicines called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs, such as goserelin or leuprolide. For women who haven't reached menopause, this can bring about menopause and rapid bone loss right away This is sometimes done in premenopausal women to decrease their risk of recurrent breast cancer risk or to treat more advanced disease.
Aromatase inhibitors. These include anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole. These medicines are used to treat postmenopausal women with breast cancer. These medicines are known to lead to a loss of bone density.
Have you had breast cancer and gone through menopause, either naturally or as a result of treatment? If so, you should think about having routine screenings for bone loss. A type of X-ray called the bone mineral density test is safe and noninvasive. It is also called DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry). It can:
Diagnose osteoporosis
Find low bone density
Monitor how well treatments are working
Predict the risk for future fractures
Once bone is lost, it can't be completely replaced using current types of treatment. Although it can't be cured, osteoporosis can be slowed down. A number of approaches are available for preventing and treating osteoporosis in women.
Here are some lifestyle approaches you can take to prevent bone loss:
Get plenty of calcium and vitamin D. Calcium comes from the food we eat. Good sources include dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. Some nondairy foods are also good sources, such as salmon, fortified orange juice, spinach, and tofu. Vitamin D comes from diet and the sun. Salmon, milk, and other fortified foods are good sources of vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of calcium is 1,000 mg for young to middle-aged adults and 1,200 mg for women older than age 50. The recommended daily dose of vitamin D is 600 international units (IU) daily and 800 IUs for women older than 70.
Exercise. Regular physical activity can help prevent bone loss. Weight-bearing exercises are particularly helpful. These include jogging, dancing, and stair-climbing.
Stop smoking. Smoking causes a loss of bone density. Ask your healthcare provider for help quitting.
Limit alcohol intake. If you use alcohol, have no more than 1 drink a day for women. (Men should have no more than 2 drinks a day.)
Here are some medical approaches you can use for preventing and treating bone loss:
Bisphosphonates. These medicines prevent the breakdown of bone. The FDA has approved risedronate, ibandronate, zoledronic acid, and alendronate for preventing and treating osteoporosis.
Calcitonin. This is a naturally occurring hormone important for calcium regulation and bone metabolism. Calcitonin is often taken as a nasal spray.
RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand) inhibitors. These medicines act in a very similar way to bisphosphonates. Denosumab is approved by the FDA for treating osteoporosis. It is also approved to prevent bone loss caused by hormonal therapy given for the treatment of cancer, if used in combination with calcium and a vitamin D supplement.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators. The FDA has approved raloxifene for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. It can also be used to reduce the risk for breast cancer in women who are at higher risk. If you've had breast cancer, discuss the use of raloxifene carefully with your medical oncologist. Researchers are continuing to learn about its effects on cancer and its interactions with other cancer treatments.
Talk with your healthcare provider to see if there are other treatments you should think about.

WASHINGTON– Following the lead of the United States Helsinki Commission, 35 Members of the United States Congress have written President George W. Bush, urging him to use the upcoming Group of 8 (G-8) summit in France to draw attention to a resurgence of anti-Semitism and related violence throughout Europe and the United States.
"As the G-8 summit provides a timely opportunity to address political as well as economic issues facing societies represented and the wider international community, we respectfully urge you to raise this matter of mutual, international concern, and seek a joint commitment to work closely together to counter this disturbing trend," the Members wrote.
"The G-8 summit provides an important and extraordinary occasion for leaders to discuss international issues of the day, and we hope you will take the opportunity to set anti-Semitism as an international priority," the Members added.
Signing the letter to President Bush were Helsinki Commission Co-Chairmen Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO) and Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ), Ranking Members Senator Christopher J. Dodd (D-CT) and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD), Commissioners Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR), Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN), Rep. Robert B. Aderholt (R-AL), Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL).
Other Members signing were Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY), Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN), Senator Larry E. Craig (R-ID), Senator Byron L. Dorgan (D-ND), Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Rep. Jo Ann Davis (R-VA), Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Timothy J. Ryan (D-OH), Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Rep. Brad Carson (D-OK), Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), Rep. Martin Frost (D-TX), Rep. Joseph M. Hoeffel (D-PA), Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-CA), Rep. Jim Saxton (R-NJ), Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN), Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), and Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA). A joint, public commitment from the political leaders, reflected in the summit communique, will bolster further efforts to eradicate anti-Semitism and deliver an unmistakable message to those who would promote bigotry and hatred, according to the letter.
The full text of the letter may be accessed through the Helsinki Commission's Internet web site, www.csce.gov.
"We fully understand the problem, as the United States is not immune from sporadic acts of vandalism and violence against members of the Jewish community and their institutions," the Commissioners wrote. "With your leadership we are confident that a strong and vigorous coalition will be formed to fight anti-Semitism."

Things to observe while shopping online
Things to take into consideration when buying smartphones and tablets from online stores
1. The best price does not always mean you get the best deal. Take into consideration the warehouse, from which the device will be shipped and consult your local customs regulations, so you will be prepared to pay any customs fees and taxes, if necessary. For example, if you're based in Europe and you order a device from a warehouse in China, it is very likely that the device will be held by the customs in your country and will be cleared once you pay the due taxes. Hence, it might turn out that ordering a device from an EU warehouse might be cheaper.
2. Don't forget to check the delivery and warranty conditions of the online store you want to buy from.
3. Before ordering, check whether the device is in stock and its final price in your local currency. Please, take the quoted rates as tentative due to the fluctuation of exchange rates and the frequent pricing updates by the stores.

A beautiful smile is important to your health, hygiene, confidence, and self-esteem. At our office, we can help you have the most attractive, natural-looking smile possible through advanced prosthodontic care. Prosthodontics, or prosthetic dentistry, is an area of dentistry that concentrates on the aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth to their proper form and function.
As a comprehensive dental practice, we offer our patients a wide range of prosthodontic treatments. Prosthodontic care focuses on complete oral rehabilitation and treatment of numerous dental conditions, such as:
- Traumatic injuries to the mouth's structures
- Congenital or birth anomalies to teeth
- Snoring and sleep disorders
- Oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care
Prosthodontic Treatment Options
In order to restore your smile, we may recommend the following prosthodontic treatments:
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
Crowns are a restoration used to improve your tooth's shape or to strengthen a tooth. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay. Think of a crown as a "cap" cemented onto an existing tooth which fully covers the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth's new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong.
Dental Implants
An implant is an artificial tooth made of metal and porcelain that looks just like your natural tooth. It's composed of two main parts: one is the titanium implant body that takes the place of the missing root, and the second part is the tooth-colored crown that is cemented on top of the implant. With dental implants, you can smile confidently knowing that no one will ever suspect you have a replacement tooth.
Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth made by your dentist that are removable. There are two types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed.
A filling is often used to repair a tooth that is affected by wear, decay, cracks, or fractures. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with a filling, which can be made up of many different materials, such as gold, porcelain, composite, ceramic, and plastic compound.
Occlusal Disease Treatment
Occlusal disease is caused by a misalignment between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches, also called malocclusion. If left untreated, occlusal disease and can damage your teeth, the supporting bones and gums around your teeth, temporomandibular joints, and the jaw muscles you use for chewing. Many people dismiss excessive or abnormally accelerated tooth wear as natural aging or wearing of teeth, however, prosthodontic treatment can alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by occlusal disease.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain, designed to cover the front side of your teeth. Veneers are natural in appearance and a great option for patients who want to make adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.

By Katy Steinmetz
There were certain things that the 1990s just did better — including getting the word out about the dangers of unprotected sex.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of American students using condoms hit its peak at around 60% a decade ago, and has stalled since then, even declining among some demographics. A recent study released by the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada found that nearly 50% of sexually active college students aren't using condoms. Other reports have found that while teenagers are likely to use a condom the first time they have sex, their behavior becomes inconsistent after that.
Health officials from Oregon to Georgia are ringing alarm bells about rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases, worried that kids aren't getting the message. Sex education is more robust than it was for previous generations, but a 2012 Guttmacher Institute report revealed that while nearly 90% of high schools are teaching students about abstinence and STDs, fewer than 60% are providing lessons about contraception methods.
The CDC estimates that half of new STD infections occur among young people. Americans ages 15 to 24 contract chlamydia and gonorrhea at four times the rate of the general population, and those in their early 20s have the highest reported cases of syphilis and HIV. Young men and women are more likely than older people to report having no sex in the past year, yet those who are having sex are more likely to have multiple partners, which increases the risk of STDs.
"We need to do better as a nation," says Laura Kann, an expert in youth risk behaviors at the CDC. "Far too many kids in this country continue to be infected with HIV and continue to be at risk."
When condom-usage rates were on the upswing in the '90s, America was in the midst of an AIDS epidemic that was claiming young lives daily. The fear of the disease gave heft to safe-sex campaigns. Today, public-health officials are partly a victim of their own success; contemporary teenagers grew up after the terror had subsided, thanks to antiviral drugs and those messages that helped bring infection rates down. "The young people today know HIV as a manageable, chronic disease," Kann says. "It's not something that can kill you in their eyes. So that leads, most likely, to an attitude that it's not something that they have to protect themselves from."
In Oregon's Lane County, senior health official Patrick Luedtke is in the midst of confronting an ongoing gonorrhea outbreak, with rates jumping as much as 40% in recent years. Like Kann, he believes complacency is a large part of the problem. "People don't have the fear of death from sex like they had 15 years ago," he says. "For the teenagers, that fear is gone, and people are not practicing safe sex as much as they used to."
Other research collected by the CDC shows that some schools aren't hammering away at the safe-sex lessons like they once did. In Alabama, Alaska and Florida, for instance, fewer public schools are teaching teenagers how to obtain condoms and why it's important to use condoms. "Schools have competing health issues that they're asked to deal with, things like tobacco use, bullying, the obesity epidemic. It's been hard to keep attention focused on HIV and STD prevention," Kann says. "This complacency issue [is not] unique to just youth themselves." Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement supporting better access to condoms for teenagers, saying schools are still hesitant to provide them because of an enduring fear that access to condoms will make kids have more sex.
Public institutions beyond schools have had setbacks too. Budget cuts in Oregon meant that Luedtke's county closed its STD clinic. "People don't stop having sex because of the bad economy," he says. "Where are the resources?"
Even in places where there's money and free condoms to go around, health departments haven't necessarily seen safe sex go viral. New York City health officials are reporting that only 1 in 3 adult residents uses protection, despite years of PSAs and prophylactic handouts under Mayor Michael Bloomberg. While condom use among young people in New York City is slightly up since 2009, that puts it on par with the stagnant nationwide average.
Kann says there are broader societal factors at work too, ones that disproportionately affect African-American youth. Compared with the population as a whole, their parents are less educated and have lower incomes, both factors that have been linked to sexually risky behaviors, including having unprotected sex. Adolescents who postpone sex have parents who are more educated. Lower incomes, meanwhile, are associated with factors like parents working multiple jobs, which can mean kids are left home alone without a watchful eye to factor into their decisionmaking.
Some research has suggested that sexually active Americans simply assume their partner is free of STDs, and an infected partner may be unaware, given that diseases like "silent" chlamydia often don't have obvious symptoms. And there is a perception — if not a diehard belief — that using condoms makes sex less pleasurable. That's why Bill Gates challenged designers earlier this year to create a better-feeling condom that sexually active people might be more likely to use.
While it's hardly a sexy, revolutionary proposition like remaking the condom, Kann says the key to driving condom use higher is more education. Canada's survey, for instance, was revealing about how relatively unimportant the students considered STDs. Those who used condoms were much more likely to cite pregnancy than STDs as their main concern; 54% said their single motivation for using protection was birth control, while just 6% cited STDs as their sole reason.
"It's really critical for kids to know about their risk," Kann says. "They need to know how to get tested. They need to know how to prevent infection. And we can't do that alone here at CDC. We're going to need action not only by this agency but also by parents, by schools and communities."

6 Rules to Improve Your Cat's Diet
Do Not Overfeed
"Obesity is the most common nutritional disease seen in cats," says Joe Bartges, DVM, PhD at the University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine. It is a common bad habit for cat owners to feed their cats too much. Cats only need 24 to 35 calories per pound of body weight each day. This guideline is a general measure and will vary depending on your cat's activity levels, health considerations and overall nutritional needs. Smart owners will have a heart-to-heart talk with their veterinarian about Fluffy's dietary needs and work together to provide the best food choices possible.
Necessary Amino Acids
If you're a cat owner embarking on your own vegetarian health regime and you want to include your furry friend, think again. Cats require some amino acids that are found only in meat. Depriving your domesticated cat of meat and meat products can minimize good health and create conditions or concerns with lifelong consequences. Even dog food does not contain all the amino acids that cats need. Long term feeding of dog food to cats can even cause blindness.
Homemade Food
As an alternative to commercial cat food, a homemade diet can be prepared for your cat when you're in the kitchen. Be aware that it will be necessary to talk with your veterinarian in advance for nutritional recommendations and supplements. It is important to feed a diet that is nutritionally balanced and this requires using a recipe developed by a veterinary nutritionist. Do not add supplements not included in the recipe. The internet is a source of good recipes at www.balanceit.com or www.petdiets.com. For a nominal fee a veterinary nutritionist will give you a recipe using the meat and carbohydrate of your choice. Your cat will need to maintain recommended nutritional standards for optimal health. Any discussion about your cat's diet should also address your cat's age, health considerations, activity levels and past food choices.
A Well-Rounded Diet
"The biggest mistake people make is feeding cats dry food," says Lisa A. Pierson, DVM. Manufacturers have to include a lot of unnecessary carbohydrates in order to make a cat food dry, which can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Cats need a diet that is lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein, which can be achieved by feeding your cat canned food. If you choose to feed your cat dry food, add wet food as well.
Senior Cats
Review the foods you are feeding your cat during every visit with your veterinarian. As your beloved pet ages and becomes more or less active, his or her nutritional needs can change. In order to maintain total health and wellness, your cat may need changes in their diet such as providing more or less calories each day or switching which foods are being provided. Cats may also need more or less of specific nutrients. For instance, kidney disease is common in cats, and a diet low in phosphorus and protein has been shown in studies to lengthen the time before the symptoms of renal disease worsen. In some instances, your veterinarian may suggest supplements to the foods you currently provide. Working together with your veterinarian for your pet's long term health and wellness is critical.
Always remember to talk with your veterinarian about your pet's activity levels, health considerations and nutritional needs during your regular office visits. If you have any questions about your cat's diet or well-being, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians, please don't hesitate call us today!
