BONE LOSS I INFLAMMATORI BOWEL DISEASE: OUR MULTICENTRIC STUDY
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of developing disorder in bone and mineral metabolism. The study was aimed to determine if inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a risk factor for osteoporosis in 103 adult patients. We included 103 IBD patients, 67 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitisi (UC). Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. we used T score to express bone loss (osteopenia: -25SD 2 years) and active disease would be risk of bone mineral loss in IBD.
Management of anemia: blood loss in orthopaedic surgery
Major ortopaedic surgery and high energy trauma are often responsible of acute bleeding. Long bones and pelvis fractures are correlated with increased blood loss. The final consequence of a major bleeding is hypovolemic shock. The reduced oxygen tension of tissue could be responsible of heart attack, arrythmia, ictus, multi organ deficiency. For these reasons, it is important to immediately recognize and correct all potential bleeding in order to avoid complications. In orthopaedics the elective treatments in the managenment of hypovolemia are different. Blood banks and allogenic blood components have had an important impact on operative treatment and health care worldwide. erythropoietin h…
