Osteoporosis, metabolic aberrations, and increased risk for vertebral fractures after partial gastrectomy.
Dan Mellström,Christer Johansson,Olof Johnell,Göran Lindstedt,Per-Arne Lundberg,Karl J Obrant,Ivi-Mai Schöön,Göran Toss,Bengt-Olof Ytterberg +8 more
TL;DR: A case-control study compared 129 men with earlier partial gastrectomy (operation during the period 1952-1961) with 216 men from a community-based population study with significantly lower serum concentrations of intact PTH and 25OHD than nonsmokers and also lower BMD and BMI.

Incidence of hip fractures in Malmo, Sweden (1950-1991)
Bo Gullberg,Henrik Düppe,Bo Nilsson,Inga Redlund-Johnell,Ingemar Sernbo,Karl J Obrant,Olof Johnell +6 more
TL;DR: In a 24-year sub-sample taken from a 42-year period of study, hip fracture incidence was analysed from a defined catchment area within one hospital and the impact of increasing incidence in men compared with women is discussed using an osteoporosis model.

Serial assessment of serum bone metabolism markers identifies women with the highest rate of bone loss and osteoporosis risk.
Kaisa K. Ivaska,Kaisa K. Ivaska,Janaka Lenora,Paul Gerdhem,Paul Gerdhem,Kristina Åkesson,H. Kalervo Väänänen,Karl J Obrant +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that serial assessment of bone turnover improves the identification of women with the highest rate of bone loss and osteoporosis risk.
Ethanol and its effects on fracture healing and bone mass in male rats
TL;DR: It is found that ethanol disturbs bone metabolism which reduces the mechanical properties of the tibiae and femora of rats, but the healing process of an induced tibial shaft fracture was not affected.

Genetic variation in the PTH pathway and bone phenotypes in elderly women: Evaluation of PTH, PTHLH, PTHR1 and PTHR2 genes
Max Tenne,Fiona E. McGuigan,Lisa Jansson,Paul Gerdhem,Paul Gerdhem,Karl J Obrant,Holger Luthman,Kristina Åkesson +7 more
TL;DR: While further genotyping across the gene is recommended, in this cohort of elderly Swedish women, polymorphisms in PTH may contribute to the risk of fracture through mechanisms that are independent of BMD.
