Adult Population and Decrease in Bone Density

Adult Population and Decrease in Bone Density

Are you worried about a decrease in bone density? In the medical field, osteoporosis assessments are used to diagnose and measure bone density; as these indicators can prevent further osteoporosis deterioration and fracture risks in older adults. As calcium and phosphate are needed by the human body to promote healthy bone growth; pediatric patients between 0 – 18 years are also suggested to get assessed in this matter to prevent any complications in their adulthood.

Calcium and Phosphate Deficiencies

When the level of calcium and phosphate decreases, bone density also decreases. During the lifespan of a human being, the older bones are reabsorbed, and new ones are created. With this whole procedure, the skeleton of a human is replaced almost every 10 years. The density of the human bones remains in balance and doesn’t decrease if the balance remains in older and new bones. However, loss of bone structure occurs when older bones are reabsorbed, and new bones are not formed. This process causes a decreased level issue of bone density.

Age and Osteoporosis

Aging is also a cause of decreased bone density levels; however, sometimes this phenomenon runs in families as is inherited (Holick, 2004) Inelastic and fragile bones can be prone to anything that ultimately results in the destruction of the human body, especially bones. It is necessary to have a bone assessment at any age especially in adulthood. (Cole & Raymond, 2008).

Risk Factors in Senile Osteoporosis

Risk Factors in Senile Osteoporosis

Are risk factors in senile osteoporosis worrying you? One of the major health issues the human population share in common is Osteoporosis. As bones have the ability to heal minor injuries themselves; the major ones cannot be cured and are degenerative. These are because bones composition consists of living tissues, and are constantly changing structures.

There are two main types of osteoporosis including osteoporosis I and osteoporosis II. Osteoporosis II is also known as senile osteoporosis, and it happens when the formation of bone tissue gets slower with the passage of time and as the person ages. In this whole procedure, reabsorption of old bone cells increases, ultimately affecting hormone levels (Robling et al., 2006).

Symptoms of senile osteoporosis include pain in the lower back, radiating through the back outwardly and in the standing position, back pain becomes adverse, extenuating through a lying down position. With this issue, mid-back fractures also arise. During this whole procedure, the pain might be sharp, or it might be long-lasting and irritating (White, 1980).

Prevention and Treatment

As the formation of collagen might be reduced in this condition, proper food and nutrients can overcome this issue. Poor diet also causes senile osteoporosis, and the lack of improper intake of calcium, vitamin D, protein, phosphorus, and other nutrients which are necessary for the bones (Duque & Gustavo, 2008).

Beammed – Senile Osteoporosis Scanners

As people grow older and this type of issues arises, further damage could be prevented through proper diagnosis and monitoring. In this matter, Beammed suggests an accurate diagnosis with their osteoporosis portable scanners available to the public and professional health facilities. Highly affordable and easy to use, the Sunlight MiniOmni and Omnisense scanners deliver accurate bone density measurements without x-rays. Furthermore, a version for pediatric use is available offering a unique, radiation-free solution to safely and accurately assess bone density in children. The Sunlight Pediatric works with any of the Sunlight bone sonometers including the Sunlight Omnisense™ 7000, 8000, and MiniOmni providing an accurate bone strength evaluation.

What is a T Score Bone Density and How to Improve It?

What is a T Score Bone Density, and How to Improve It?

Have you heard the term T score bone density at your doctor’s office? If you’re undergoing a bone density test, your results will come in the form of what is known as a T score. A T score bone density reveals how much lower or higher your specific bone density is, compared to that of a healthy adult at age 30. With this score, your medical care provider will be able to diagnose if you have osteopenia or osteoporosis conditions and also be able to determine if you are at a greater risk of fracturing or breaking a bone.

A normal T score bone density ranges between -1 and above. A low bone density, which indicates a condition known as osteopenia, is between -1 and -2.5. A T score of -2.5 and below reveals a likely diagnosis of osteoporosis.

If your T score does show that you have low bone density, your physician will come up with a treatment plan to help improve the condition of your bones. This may include taking a prescription medicine, making changes to your diet and nutrition, and incorporating exercise into your daily routine. Regular screenings should be performed in order to see if the bones are improving, worsening, or staying the same. The subsequent T score bone density results can improve with the right care plan in place.

Bone Density Testing to Prevent Osteoporosis

Bone Density Testing to Prevent Osteoporosis

As your body ages, your bone density may decrease, resulting in a condition known as osteoporosis. This is especially true for women aged 65 and older, and for men aged 70 and older. Bone density testing is recommended by medical experts because it is the only effective way to diagnose osteoporosis, as well as to determine just how weak the bones are. The weaker your bones are, the greater your chance of breaking or fracturing them becomes.

Bone density testing is an important diagnostic tool that patients and their healthcare providers can use in several different ways. The test can see if the density of the bones is getting worse, improving, or is unchanged over time. If you’re taking medicine to treat osteoporosis, the test can show if it’s working well. It can also predict if you’re at a high risk of suffering a bone break in the future.

While testing alone is not enough to prevent osteoporosis, it can give the doctor a clearer idea of the current condition of the bones. With this information, they will then be able to come up with the right treatment plan. By diagnosing weak bone mass and osteoporosis early, you can potentially prevent broken bones, as well as take the necessary steps to improve your condition.

BeamMed – Portable Bone Density Testing

In this matter, BeamMed has developed and manufacture Osteoporosis scanners available to the public and health facilities. The OMNI to accurately assess the bone age of children and early osteoporosis assessment in adults.

Sunlight Omnisense 9000 Bone Density Screening

Bone Density Screening

Are you looking for a bone density screening? Osteoporosis is a serious disease, and it is causing a huge health burden in the United States. As the population ages, this burden also grows. Osteoporosis involves the disruption of the micro-architecture of the skeleton, bone fragility, and low bone mass. Typically, this disease shows no symptoms until the bone loss has occurred. Bone density screening is critical to the early diagnosis of this problem.

Importance of Bone Density Screening

As osteoporosis is typically symptom-free until permanent damage has been done, it is important to have an early diagnosis to assess the treatment options which can stop or slow the progression of the disease. A bone density scan carried out by an accurate and advanced equipment such as Sunlight Omnisense 9000 is the best way to measure bone density and the risk of osteoporosis. Bone density scans such as this are painless and fast, and can be used to assess fracture risk, measure bone density, diagnose osteoporosis and precursor conditions, as well as to evaluate the effects of medication on the health of bones.

When to Have an Early Bone Density Scan?

According to medical experts, the standard guideline of getting a bone density scan is age 65. However, there are certain conditions in which it is recommended to get a bone density scan at age 60 or even earlier, especially if you have known risk factors for osteoporosis.

Following are some risk factors in which getting an early bone density scan is recommended:

• Personal history of fractures • Family history of osteoporosis • Early menopause • Body weight of less than 127 pounds • Rheumatoid arthritis which requires treatment with glucocorticoid drugs • Thyroid disease which requires treatment with any thyroid replacement hormones

Sunlight Omnisense 9000

Bone Density Scan For Children

About Bone Density in Children

Are you looking for a bone density scan for children? Bones are vital parts of our body. Without the proper functioning of the skeletal system, you will have a hard time performing a lot of activities. Because the skeletal system is responsible for your ability to move, checking the health of your bones from time to time is very crucial.

Osteoporosis in Children

Generally, most individuals associate osteoporosis – a condition categorized by low bone density and vulnerability to bone fractures with

Pediatric Bone Density Scan BeamMed.

older men and women in mid-life. However, osteoporosis also occurs at a shocking rate in children. Therefore, it is recommended for parents of children who experience various sprains or fractures from apparently mild injuries, to have their child evaluated.

Over the last several years, pediatric orthopaedists have developed an increasing awareness of osteoporosis in children, as there have been more such cases than before. And it can also be said that the actual number of children with low bone density is rapidly increasing for several reasons. Those reasons may include a less active lifestyle, decrease exposure to the sun – which is a vital source of vitamin D, and poor nutrition.

Importance of Measuring Bone Density in Children

Concern for low bone density in children has resulted in increased interest in bone density tests and scanning. Pediatric patients with acquired and genetic chronic diseases, inadequate nutrition, and immobility may fail to attain the expected growth in bone size, strength, and mass which leaves the bones vulnerable to fracture.

Low bone density (also called pre-osteoporosis or osteopenia) is not a disease; it is an indication that the bone mineral density of your child is below normal. And if something is not done to stop bone loss, then there’s a high chance that children with osteopenia will develop osteoporosis. Therefore, A bone density scan is very important as it helps find out the amount of minerals in the bones. Low bone density generally develops until diagnosed, and individuals with low bone density are more likely to break a bone as compared to individuals with normal bone density.

A recommended way to measure bone density is the one which is radiation-free and safe. Sunlight Pediatric Software offers a radiation-free approach to assessing bone density in children. It is easy-to-use and quickly offers the physician with an accurate bone strength assessment.

BeamMed – Bone Density Scan

At BeamMed, we offer various bone density assessments solutions. Our goal is to provide the physicians with latest and high-quality monitoring and assessment devices to help better diagnose osteoporosis and bone age.

Latest Bone Density Test For Adults

Bone Density Test in Adults

Are you looking for a bone density test? Until the last few years, bone density has not been discussed much. But, nowadays some shocking facts have emerged. One in every 4 men, and one in 2 women, over the age of 50, will break a bone because of osteoporosis. These statistics are quite scary, thus, arise the need to measure bone density.

Importance of Measuring Bone Density

Bone Density Test – Beammed.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the bone density is decreased, and its structural integrity is weakened, which makes the bone more brittle. This disease is progressive and with time, the outer portion of the bone (also known as the cortex) becomes more porous and thinner and makes the bone more prone to fractures. Osteoporosis affects millions of people worldwide. As the disease usually does not show any symptoms, most individuals don’t even know that they have it until is to late and they break a bone.

Therefore, checking the health of your bones periodically is very important. And most medical experts recommend measuring the bone density.

There are a lot of ways to check the health of your bones. One most common way is through densitometry. Densitometry measures the density of your bones and how much minerals are contained in your them. Minerals in your bones are essential in making your bones healthy. However, if you don’t have sufficient minerals, you may acquire bone diseases such as osteoporosis due to the weakness of the bones.

Benefits of Measuring Bone Density

The bone density test allows you to know how much density your bones have. By knowing that, you can avoid bone fractures. And by improving the bone density, you can prevent such painful situations. This means you can increase your bone density and make your bones healthier before they reach the point of no return.

Furthermore, bone density test is also helpful in determining the risks of bone breakage. It’s crucial to know whether you have a risk of fracturing your bones. This way, you will be able to avoid specific activities that may damage your skeletal system. These activities may include dance, sports, and other activities that involve physical movements.

Effects of Low Bone Density 

Low bone density has a lot of negative effects. For example, bone diseases, especially the ones that affect the spine, can result in decrease in  height or hunchbacks. The chances of fracturing your bones with everyday activities such as playing sports or exercising also become high. In worst cases, it even comes to bone transplant to help the bone regeneration process.

BeamMed – Bone Density Test

We develop and manufacture bone density assessments for bone age and early detection of osteoporosis. Around the world, thousands of our devices are used in clinics and physician offices. Our patented Omnipath™ axial transmission technology it is been proven to improve HEDIS measures, allowing 5-stars rating for Hedis OMW.

BeamMed: Poor Bone Health May Start In Adolescence

Bone health in the adolescent years is as significant as in adulthood. However, most of the symptoms and devastating consequences are often identified later in the adulthood years. Considering bone health during adolescence is important due to the disease appearing in some cases during adolescence.

When an adolescent fractures a bone, a suspicion for poor bone health should be raised. It’s challenging at this age to determine which adolescent is manifesting earlier signs of skeletal pathology because is common in this age group to get fractures. For example, isolated fractures involving the wrist or ankle is less likely to cause concern for poor bone health.

poor bone health

However, those involving fractures such as the hip or spine should trigger a major concern and further evaluation for a bone pathology. Similarly, low-impact fractures like the femur bones may signal poor bone health as well.

Identifying adolescents with low bone density and frequent history of bone fractures as early as possible is advisable to improve their bone mass before their full skeletal growth.

Bonage – Pediatric Configuration for Poor Bone Health 

Bonage – Pediatric Configuration

Pediatricians initial assessment for adolescents and risk factors should be comfortable evaluating bone health in adolescents, and reaching a conclusive diagnosis with the aid of technology.

Beammed: Osteoporosis Assessment and Prevention

First Signs of Osteoporosis, Prevention and Assessment

Primary osteoporosis occurs due to various factors such as bone mineral mass loss due to age, menopausal factors and defective bone formation. For women, bone mineral mass gradually decreases usually starting at the age of 30, for men with bigger skeletons, their bone mineral loss may begin at a later age.

Secondary osteoporosis, on the other hand, is more associated with grave medical conditions that can damage bone structure and formation. These conditions are associated with multiple myelomas, increased cortisone hormones or hypercortisolism, shrinking of the testicles or hypogonadism and stomach removal or subtotal gastrectomy.

The signs of osteoporosis can be dangerous as you may not even be aware that you’re suffering from this condition. You may experience joint and back pain, but the latter is the most common. Over time, you will discover that you’re leaning down more and more. If you have become shorter as time passes by, this is due to the development of compression fractures, which is another cause of back pain.

Bone mineral mass will also decrease in other bones, particularly the lower and upper extremities and the hips. This puts a higher risk of sustaining fractures even when you are just lifting something. In serious cases of osteoporosis, a spontaneous fracture will happen in your hip joint causing you to fall. You may think that the fracture is because of the fall, but it is actually the spontaneous fracture in your hip joint.

Prevention

Prevention must start in the teenage years. You need to follow a diet that will provide you with the daily requirement of vitamin D and calcium. It should be composed of proteins, vegetables and fruits and mono as well as polyunsaturated fats. Calcium supplements may be needed if your diet is not balanced. People aged 50 and above need 600 to 800 I.U. of vitamin D and 1200-1600mg of calcium daily. At earlier ages, the recommended calcium intake is 1000mg and 400 I.U for vitamin D.

Stop or avoid smoking and also limit your alcohol consumption. Living a healthy lifestyle is a must. Stay active and engage in various activities. Bicycling, swimming, and walking are interesting activities that will add mineral mass to your bones. Instead of taking the escalator or elevator, walk up and down the stairs. Get enough rest. A good night’s sleep is important for the body to have enough time to fix any damage that happens in your daily activities.

Neonatal Bone Growth Assessment Software For Premature Babies

Taking care of small and premature babies is very important. You need to make sure that they are getting all of the care and nutrients that they need to grow and become healthy enough to live outside the womb. Many babies that are in the neonatal care unit need to be watched and monitored to make sure they are developing in all areas. One of these areas is their bone growth. If babies born premature, it can be very difficult for them to get the proper nutrients to finish growing.

Bone growth in premature babies goes beyond nutrition. You want to make sure that their little bones are becoming stronger, but not denser, as they are little bodies and they cannot afford to be overly heavy. The process of bone growth is called bone mineralization, and it is this idea that leads researchers to develop a neonatal bone growth asessment software thet can help the best way to promote bone growth in those tiny babies.

The bone growth assessment can help read the bone density in their skeletal structure and measure where they need to be. Getting these premature infants to a healthy stage is the most important aspect of their care. By getting their bones to grow well, you are setting them up for a better future and a better life. With the proper bone growth assessment software, its easier to find if their legs and arms are still weaker when they are out of the neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU) and out of the hospital. Bone growth is important to make sure they live a long and healthy life, one that is functional and physical.
