(PhysOrg.com) -- While an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test can be frightening news for men, new research shows that sometimes the levels are caused by a naturally occurring hormone, and may not indicate a need for a biopsy. http://www.physorg.com/news177671228.html Medicine & Health Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:09:52 EST news177671228 Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that some elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in men may be caused by a hormone normally occurring in the body, and are not necessarily a predictor of the need for a prostate biopsy. http://www.physorg.com/news176738875.html Medicine & Health Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:20:02 EST news176738875 A recent study determined glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (OP) is now treatable with Teriparatide, a synthetic form of the human parathyroid hormone. Researchers found patients with glucocorticoid-induced OP who were treated with teriparatide for 36 months had a greater increase in bone mineral density (BMD) and fewer new vertebral fractures than those treated with alendronate. The findings of this study are published in the November issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). http://www.physorg.com/news176014810.html Medicine & Health Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:50:02 EST news176014810 An existing osteoporosis drug is the first ever found to prevent cartilage loss from osteoarthritis following injury to a joint, and may also regenerate some cartilage that has been lost to osteoarthritis, according to an early study presented today at the annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research in Denver. While the study was in mice, the model closely mimics human osteoarthritis that develops following knee injuries, according to the study authors. http://www.physorg.com/news171987169.html Medicine & Health Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:40:02 EST news171987169 Men who have too much calcium in their bloodstreams may have an increased risk of fatal prostate cancer, according to a new analysis from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Wisconsin. http://www.physorg.com/news139625659.html Medicine & Health Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:54:19 EST news139625659
