VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL: Interrelationship of Vitamin D and Vitamin K on Bone (VITAL)

Vitamin D supplements are widely promoted for bone health. Both vitamin D and vitamin K are important for deposition of calcium in bone, but little is known about the relationship of vitamin K status and bone health.

Study on the Intervention Effect of Denosumab on High-Risk Patients With Osteoporotic Fractures in Type 2 Diabetes

This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial targeting patients with type 2 diabetes and a high risk of fractures. The aim is to evaluate the intervention effect of denosumab combined with edilossobulin on patients with a high risk of osteoporotic fractures due to type 2 diabetes, as well as its impact on bone density, bone turnover indicators, the risk of new fractures, and the risk of hypocalcemia. This will provide scientific evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and offer important clinical research evidence for formulating national health policies.

Virtual Reality in Reducing Acute Orthopedic Pain

The primary aim of this research is to show that a virtual reality (VR) service line is feasible and can sustain itself with the ability to take care of patients. Additionally, the investigators aim to learn about the limitations of a service line and provide a pathway for future improvements in building a VR service line that is optimally aligned with the user's needs. Secondary aims are to evaluate the clinical aspects of the patient's outcomes including length of stay, morphine equivalents in pain medicine required during the hospital stay, and user experiences.

Influence of External Factors on Skeletal Growth in Youth

Objective: Prospective study regulation in bone mass, size, architecture, cortical, trabecular bone, soft tissues and risk factors for cardiovascular disease at growth. Determine regulation by environmental factors. Evaluate how training affects the skeleton, soft tissues and cardiovascular risk factors during growth Material/Methods: (i) 500 children in one RCT´s with or without intervention with physical activity (daily scholl physical education) from school start to college. Annual evaluations Importance: The investigators provide increased understanding of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis by determine the mineralization, size- and architecture development during growth and adulthood. Evaluate if intervention program with exercise increase bone strength, muscle mass and reduce fatness and risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Background: Skeletal growth and the age related bone loss determine who will get osteoporosis (and fractures), but not only bone mass, also skeletal architecture and bone quality influence bone strength. Regulation of the traits differs where hormones, genetics and environmental factors continuously influence the development with different effect during different ages. It is thus imperative to determine the regulators of the traits and evaluate if these can be modified during growth. Aim: Study regulation of bone mass, size, architecture, cortical, trabecular, axial and appendicular bone and soft tissue during growth and aging; evaluate risk factors for cardiovascular disease; determine importance of environmental factors and hereditary factors. Study Design/Method Bunkeflo Cohort: Prospective, controlled exercise intervention study annually following skeletal development in 500children from age 7. Importance: By evaluating skeletal mass/architecture separate we will increase the understanding of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. The intervention study provide Evidence Based Information as regard the importance of physical activity during growth. The presented Strength Index, where we combine bone mass and skeletal architecture, may predict fractures better than only bone mass.
