Association of age at menopause and age at menarche with later-life skeletal fragility fractures in Bosnian postmenopausal women.

Aim To investigate the effects of estrogen-related events (age at menopause, age at menarche) on later-life skeletal fragility in Bosnian postmenopausal women. Methods A total of 100 postmenopausal Bosnian women, aged between 55 and 75 years, were included. The women in the study group (n=50) had fragility fractures, and in the control group (n=50) were without fragility fractures.

Evaluation of bone remodelling parameters after one year treatment with alendronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Antiresorptive agents are widely used to treat osteoporosis. Both reduction in bone turnover and increase in BMD may be necessary to decrease the fracture risk. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of aledronate on bone turnover markers and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Efficiency and safety of radioactive iodine I-131 in treatment of thyroid disease.

Thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the body. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the metabolism rate, affect the growth and many functions of various organ systems. Nuclear medicine technique is very useful diagnostic tool in detecting thyroid disease.

[Thyroid scintigraphy as diagnostic method evaluation of thyroid diseases].

The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. It may enlarge substanially during pregnancy and when affected by a variety of diseases. The thyroid gland produces hormones, that regulates all metabolic processes and affect the growth and rate of functioning of many other systems in the body.

In the study with preparations under the registered names Bostrombin gel 50,000 IU and Bostrombin ointment 50,000 IU, in two parallel groups we did one-time and several times application of drugs to the health and previously damaged skin of rabbits. The study included 24 rabbits, divided in 4 groups with 6 rabbits. In two groups of rabbits 3 hour before application the skin was damaged.

[Evaluation of thyroid diseases in nuclear medicine].

The thyroid is one of the larger endocrine glands in the body. The thyroid size is 15-20 gr. The gland produces hormones that regulate all metabolic processes in large number of tissues in the body, and produces hormones that affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body.
