Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Bone Loss: Screening and Prevention
Background/Purpose: Aromatase inhibitors (AI) are frequently used in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, which encompasses nearly 75% of all breast cancers. By preventing peripheral estrogen production,…Abstract Number: 1206 • ACR Convergence 2020
Associations of Vascular and Bone Status in Anti-TNF-treated Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) disease and osteoporosis (OP) have become increasing challenges in the ageing population, even more in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as…Abstract Number: 0106 • ACR Convergence 2020
A Machine Learning-derived Radiomics Nomogram for Diagnosis of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
Background/Purpose: To discriminate osteoporosis and osteopenia using a quantitative computed tomography (QCT) radiomics signatures and clinical variables.Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 635 patients with QCT images and clinical characteristics from November…Abstract Number: 0124 • ACR Convergence 2020
Appropriate Timing of Denosumab Dosing and Subsequent Therapy After Discontinuation: An Academic Medical Center Experience
Background/Purpose: Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) is a popular choice for osteoporosis therapy. However,…Abstract Number: 1336 • ACR Convergence 2020
Bone Mineral Density, Trabecular Bone Score and Proximal Femur 3D-DXA Analysis in Psoriatic Diseases
Background/Purpose: current data regarding areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are conflicting. Results on Trabecular Bone Score…Abstract Number: 0107 • ACR Convergence 2020
Effects of Abaloparatide on Modeling and Remodeling Based Bone Formation
Background/Purpose: To evaluate abaloparatide-induced changes in the bone formation indices of mineralizing surface (MS), bone formation rate (BFR) and mineral apposition rate (MAR); and to…Abstract Number: 0125 • ACR Convergence 2020
A Resident-Led Interdisciplinary Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase Osteoporosis Screening in an Urban Clinic
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The USPSTF recommends screening all women age 65 and older or…Abstract Number: 1337 • ACR Convergence 2020
Relationship of the Pro12Ala Polymorphism of the PPARg Gene with Inflammatory Activity, Osteoporosis and Obesity in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), increased inflammatory cytokines lead to increased RANGO-L activity and stimulation of osteoclasts, leading to osteoporosis. This comorbidity,…Abstract Number: 0108 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Relationship Between Body Fat Percentage and Bone Mineral Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Currently, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are used to determine fracture risk by calculating Bone Mineral Density (BMD). It is well established that body…Abstract Number: 0127 • ACR Convergence 2020
Biochemical Algorithm to Identify Individuals with ALPL Variants Between Subjects with Persistent Hypophosphatasaemia
