Effect of diabetes on BMD and TBS values as determinants of bone health in the elderly: Bushehr Elderly Health program.

Background: Considering the aging population associated with higher osteoporotic fracture risk, high prevalence of diabetes and its effect on bone health along with lack of information on bone quality using common methods (BMD) the aim of present study was to determine the association between trabecular bone score (TBS) and diabetes in an elderly population participating in Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on data collected during the BEH Program, stage II. Anthropometric indices were measured based on NHANES III protocol.

Jaw tumor in recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism: A case report.

Background: Brown tumor may present as uni/multilocular osteolytic lesions with bone expansion, bone pain or pathologic fracture in primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. However, recently, such presentation is rare due to early detection using blood screening techniques before symptomatic bone lesions appear.

Case Report: A 65-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with generalized bone pain and a progressive painless mass in her jaw appeared since 6 months ago.
