Prophylaxis of Osteoporosis



One of the most important units of health care is the osteoporosis prevention. A crucial part in it is the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Unfortunately osteoporosis is diagnosed often too late after occurring of fractures trough small trauma or even spontaneous fractures.
For example patients come in the clinic with back bone pain for months and after an X-ray picture we already see one or more vertebral body sintering fractures. Unfortunately to diagnose osteoporosis after occurring of fractures is too late, because the healing process is too long, painful and costs too much money to health care system.
That is why the health care system tries to find a solution of this problem by importing some method of diagnosing osteoporosis earlier than its manifestations such as bone densitometry test.
Bone densitometry tests is a high recommended test which determines the density (or the calcium content) of the bone through its X-ray resorption. 
However…..
Unfortunately in my experience as a doctor in an orthopedic clinic I have observed a lot of patients with spontaneous fractures which have normal results in a bone densitometry test. If they get fractures without a trauma after physiological movements what should be the reason for their fractures? This proves perhaps that osteoporosis and calcium level in bones may be connected with osteoporosis, but not the main reason for fractures, doesn’t it?
The explanation of this paradox is that through degenerative changes of bones the bone density test accepts for example exophytes as normal bone and falsifies the results.
Unfortunately this happens very often…

In Search of The Perfect Sleep Aid

 For many years, modern medicine has been searching for the perfect sleeping pills. Sleeping pills are a special topic in medicine because they have a lot to do with addiction medicine. Of course, not every sleeping pill can cause addiction, but lighter sleeping pills such as valerian tablets, doxylamine succinate (contained in Schlafsterne), melatonin (or Circadin) have short and insufficient effects. Benzodiazepines, on the other hand, relieve anxiety, which often leads to sleep disorders and are often used by GPs as sleeping pills, although this is not correct. Antidepressants such as mirtazapine are more often used as sleeping pills, but patients often complain of fatigue and drowsiness after their use, which is incompatible with driving, for example. Z-drugs are the 3rd choice of sleep medicine, they have a long and sufficient effect, but can be very addictive. There are patients who struggle for years with addiction to zolpidem, or zopiclone. Many GPs give up in this fight an...

New Look on Antihypertensive Therapy

  Angiotensin converting enzyme 2   Angiotensin converting enzyme 2, or ACE2, is an exopeptidase expressed primarily by vascular endothelial cells in the heart and kidneys, but also in respiratory epithelia[1] and in the gastrointestinal tract. It is the target of several coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. 2 Biochemistry ACE2 is a transmembrane metallocarboxypeptidase composed of 805 amino acids. Zinc and chloride ions act as cofactors. The extracellular region consists of two domains, a zinc metallopeptidase domain and a C-terminal collectrin homology domain. The enzyme exhibits homology to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE2 is encoded by the ACE2 gene on the X chromosome (gene locus Xp22.2). In addition to being expressed as a transmembrane protein, a soluble form exists in serum. 3 Function ACE2 cleaves angiotensin II into angiotensin (1-7), which has anti-inflammatory and lung protective effects via MAS and AT2 receptors. 4 Clinical ...
