Targeted optimum care approach for osteoporotic fragility fractures: tailored strategy based on risk stratification to reduce incidents of falls-an initiative by the Egyptian Academy of bone health based on the FLS national register.

Unlabelled: Since falling is the third cause of chronic disability, a better understanding of the frequency, severity, and risk factors of falls across diagnostic groups is needed to design and implement customized, effective fall prevention, and management programs for these individuals, particularly those at risk of sustaining a fragility fracture.

Objective: (1) To assess the incidence of falls among osteoporotic patients with fragility fractures. (2) To evaluate the potential for stratifying the people at risk of falling in bone health setting aiming to provide targeted optimum care for them.

Incidence and geographic characteristics of the population with osteoporotic hip fracture in Egypt- by the Egyptian Academy of Bone Health.

Unlabelled: This work studies the epidemiology of hip fracture in Egypt. While the incidence of hip fracture in Egypt matches that of the Mediterranean region, there was geographic variation in osteoporotic hip fracture incidence between the north and south of Egypt.

Purpose: To assess the incidence of hip fracture in Egypt, with special emphasis on the geographic and demographic variation among the Egyptian population.

Osteoporosis treatment gap in patients at risk of fracture in Egypt: a multi-center, cross-sectional observational study.

Unlabelled: Despite the wide availability of a wide variety of approved osteoporosis medications and DXA scan centers in Egypt, only a minority of patients at high risk of sustaining a fragility fracture receive treatment, even after their first fracture. Such big "treatment gap" leaves the most high-risk individuals unprotected against fragility fractures. This study provides a benchmark to monitor national trends in osteoporosis management and service uptake.

Consensus Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treat-To-Target Management of Osteoporosis in Chronic Kidney Disease Stages G4-G5D and Post-transplantation: An Initiative of Egyptian Academy of Bone Health.

Objective: The aim of this study was to reach a consensus on an updated version of the recommendations for the diagnosis and Treat-to-Target management of osteoporosis that is effective and safe for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) G4-G5D/kidney transplant.

Methods: Delphi process was implemented (3 rounds) to establish a consensus on 10 clinical domains: (1) study targets, (2) risk factors, (3) diagnosis, (4) case stratification, (5) treatment targets, (6) investigations, (7) medical management, (8) monitoring, (9) management of special groups, (10) fracture liaison service. After each round, statements were retired, modified, or added in view of the experts' suggestions, and the percent agreement was calculated.

Consensus evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treat-to-target management of osteoporosis in Africa: an initiative by the African Society of Bone Health and Metabolic Bone Diseases.

Unlabelled: The objective of this consensus statement is to inform the clinical practice communities, research centres and policymakers across Africa of the results of the recommendations for osteoporosis prevention, diagnosis and management. The developed guideline provides state-of-the-art information and presents the conclusions and recommendations of the consensus panel regarding these issues.

Purpose: To reach an African expert consensus on a treat-to-target strategy, based on current evidence for best practice, for the management of osteoporosis and prevention of fractures.

Neurophysiologic study in idiopathic overactive bladder.

Aim: Idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent, mystifying disorder with a questionable neurogenic background. We aimed to investigate the possible subtle neuropathic affection underlying its pathogenesis.

Methods: A cross-sectional cut off study was carried out on a series of 38 females with idiopathic OAB and 22 healthy matched female volunteers.

The role of laryngeal electromyography in vocal fold immobility.

Aim Of Study: To assess the utility of laryngeal electromyography (EMG) as a diagnostic method for patients with immobile vocal folds and to evaluate its possible role as a prognostic indicator in the management of those cases.

Methodology: The study included 35 patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility (VFI) and 10 normal controls. All patients were subjected to full history taking and thorough clinical examination and radiological investigations.
