Have you heard of a “silent disease” which causes your bones to break?

| Share Blog |

In men and women, the density of bones begin to diminish from an early age of 30. Inactive lifestyle is the most important factor which induces early ageing causing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, etc. Physical activities help in reducing or reversing the risk of frail bones and chronic diseases.

Age-related changes in bone

Bone is a living tissue. As people age, the arrangement of bones change; resulting in the loss of bone tissue. Low bone mass refers that the bones are fragile and places people at the possibility to crack from a sudden bump or fall.
As people age bones become inexplicably fragile for a number of reasons, including:

A sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle causes bone wastage.
Becoming less dense and more brittle due to the loss of calcium and other minerals
Ligaments, connective tissues between bones become less flexible, reducing elasticity
cartilage, which is responsible for cushioning between bones becomes more influenced to stress due to less water content

The metabolically active tissue constantly breaks down old bones and supplants it with new ones, therefore adapting itself. When the body miscarries to form new bones or when too much of old bones are being reabsorbed by the body or an amalgamation of both these aspects lead to bone disease. Most people are not concerned of the silent disease “Osteoporosis” actually being the reason for the fracture during minor fall.

Osteoporosis -The Silent Disease

Osteoporosis is frequently termed as “the silent disease”which occurs over the years without any signs. A fracture caused from a minor fall from standing height is the fragility fracture, being the first symptom of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis occurs at times when not adequate new bone is formed or excess loss of bone, or mutually, and hence the bone is delicate, weak and most probably to break easy leading to frequent fractures.

What is the risk of Osteoporosis?

Women are more likely than men to get osteoporosis; Hormonal changes – in women, menopause triggers the loss of minerals in bone tissue. In men, the gradual drop in sex hormones leads to the later development of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis can be developed more likely to certain people who get through these ‘risk factors’ which include

Family history of low bone density and fractures
Smoking & drinking alcohol
Sedentary lifestyle
Low body weight
Low dietary intake of calcium
Lack of exposure to sunlight leading to vitamin D deficiency
Medical conditions like low oestrogen levels (women), inflammatory steroids and chronic diseases.

How to identify Osteoporosis?

Habitually an individual is unconscious of the disease till a fracture or injury happens and sometimes even these symptoms can be noted. People are diagnosed with Osteoporosis as early as 30, reflecting the bones of an 80 year old!

Identify the silent disease before a fracture through bone density tests, control the rate of bone loss/ monitor the outcome of the treatment and predict the risks of fracture in the future. Early detection of the patient’s bone strength and condition can advantage the doctor to choose the best treatment for osteoporosis.

daptomycin sold under the brand name cubicin among others is a lipopeptide antibiotic used in the treatment of systemic and life-threatening infections caused by gram-positive organisms. it is a naturally occurring compound found in the soil saprotroph streptomyces roseosporus. its distinct mechanism of action makes it useful in treating infections caused by multiple drug-resistant bacteria. daptomycin was removed from the world health organization's list of essential medicines in 2019. the world health organization classifies daptomycin as critically important for human medicine. medical uses daptomycin is indicated for use in adults in the united states for skin and skin structure infections caused by gram-positive infections s. aureus bacteraemia and right-sided s. aureus endocarditis. it binds avidly to pulmonary surfactant so cannot be used in the treatment of pneumonia. there seems to be a difference in working daptomycin on hematogenous pneumonia. adverse effects common adverse drug reactions associated with daptomycin therapy include: cardiovascular: low blood pressure high blood pressure swelling central nervous system: insomnia dermatological: rash gastrointestinal: diarrhea abdominal pain hematological: eosinophilia respiratory: dyspnea other: injection site reactions fever hypersensitivity less common but serious adverse events reported in the literature include hepatotoxicity: elevated transaminases nephrotoxicity: acute kidney injury from rhabdomyolysis also myopathy and rhabdomyolysis have been reported in patients simultaneously taking statins but whether this is due entirely to the statin or whether daptomycin potentiates this effect is unknown. due to the limited data available the manufacturer recommends that statins be temporarily discontinued while the patient is receiving daptomycin therapy. creatine kinase levels are usually checked regularly while individuals undergo daptomycin therapy. in july 2010 the fda issued a warning that daptomycin could cause life-threatening eosinophilic pneumonia. the fda said it had identified seven confirmed cases of eosinophilic pneumonia between 2004 and 2010 and an additional 36 possible cases. the seven confirmed victims were all older than 60 and symptoms appeared within two weeks of initiation of therapy.

Pentapeptide-3 is an anti-wrinkle ingredient that is very potent. It has been proven to reduce wrinkling by 49%. The primary use of Pentapeptide-3 was for the decrease in Crow’s feet wrinkles but it has now been found to be effect on other facial wrinkles. Studies have found Pentapeptide-3 to be effective in anti-aging problems. It is been tested in creams and has similar results to Botox in partially paralyzing the muscles and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.Pentapeptide-3 stimulates the "matrix" layers in the skin -- primarily collagen and fibronectin. When stimulated the skin produces more collagen. Loss of collagen is what leads to thinning skin and the wrinkling of newly inelastic skin.
