Osteoporosis/Loss Of Bone Mass
To contact us Click HERE
The cause of osteoporosis is generally due to bone resorption and the malfunction of the body to renew the formation of new bone tissue. Factors that play a role start in our early formative years and can be traced to poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Habits such as smoking, excessive use of alcohol and caffeine drinks such as coffee and colas will deplete the bones of healthy bone mass. Osteoporosis is more common in women than in men; generally in middle-aged individuals, and is greater in whites than in blacks. In women the bone loss is greater during the 4 or 5 years after menopause.
A hormonal factor may play a significant role at this crucial time. The fact that at this time in their lives the individual reduces their activities and becomes more sedentary places them at risk. An individual with osteoporosis may not have symptoms during the onset of the disease. Should the individual become aware that something is wrong, there may only be the hint of an ache in the bones, most often in the back. It could be at this time that a crush fracture in a vertebra may be caused by a minor trauma, seemingly of no consequence and usually around the mid, or lower vertebrae. Should crush fractures occur in more than one vertebra, the individual will develop a dorsal hyperlordosis (a rounded back), and an exaggerated curve of the neck.
At the onset when this occurs, the individual generally complains of an acute pain lasting for several days which later becomes a dull chronic ache in the mid and lower back. "Hip and Colles'" fractures, when occurring in an elderly individual, is generally due to a pre-existing osteoporosis. Other frequent sites of fracture are the wrists and ribs. During early childhood and up to age 35, the bone mass is regenerated faster than bone mass is lost. After age 35 especially, it is necessary to correct any factors that may be important in alleviating the things that cause the loss of healthy bone tissue and the rebuilding of new bone tissue faster than the loss. This rate of bone loss and the rate that osteoporosis develops are related to many factors as previously stated, and faulty body chemistry. Hormonal factors, the body's ability to absorb and utilize calcium, and the amount of physical activity, play a most significant role. Our eating habits and the amount of exercise in our early years, help to strengthen the bones and thus prevent the formation of osteoporosis.
Smoking and drinking large amounts of alcohol, coffee and colas that contain large amounts of caffeine as previously mentioned are risk factors that play a negative role. Fortunately, many factors that have predisposed the individual to develop osteoporosis can be alleviated to a great extent. Dietary factors that have been neglected in the early years should be improved. A diet rich in calcium-rich foods must be included in our dietary regime. Foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, green leafy vegetables are such foods. For those who are lactose intolerant, there is lactose free milk and other dairy foods. And again I must advise that smoking be entirely eliminated, along with large amounts of alcohol and caffeine drinks. A small amount of coffee and alcohol may be permitted. At this time a good calcium supplement (1000 to 1200mgs) along with vitamin D (1000mgs) should be included in the daily diet, also aids in Bone & Connective Tissue repairs.
In severe cases check with your physician who will do a complete physical, with x-rays, blood tests, etc. If a hormonal insufficiency is found, hormonal therapy may be instituted. Even if hormonal therapy is instituted, vitamin and mineral supplementation is very important. If sudden severe episodes occur, with acute onset of back pain, such as when a crush fracture or sprains and strains, falls or other trauma may develop in a disabling condition, we must institute supportive measures. The use of an orthopedic support can be a very valuable adjunct. Other very valuable measures are analgesics, and when muscle spasm is present, heat and massage can be of great value. At this time you must avoid heavy lifting (nothing over 5 lbs.), or stretching for objects above your head. Getting in and out of your car in the proper way is important in not adding insult to injury.
At this time I would be remiss in not mentioning the role of exercise. For those who live a sedentary lifestyle, this can be THE MOST important decision you can make. A good exercise program will help strengthen your muscles, especially your back and abdominal muscles that support your back. Strengthening the flabby back and abdominal muscles can be the greatest factor in the prevention of future fractures and lifelong pain and suffering. It will also restore your balance, flexibility and vitality. When you have decided that it is time to start an exercise program, you must also decide to dedicate yourself in continuing with the program. Then, your health will improve; you will feel more vital and vigorous. The exercise will also add normal bone tissue and strengthen the entire skeletal structure of the body.

Restoring Bone Density
To contact us Click HERE
It wasn't until 2004, when the then U.S Surgeon General Richard Carmona, warned about the dangers of osteoporosis, that this disease was being given some much needed attention. More than 44 million Americans at that time were affected by osteoporosis, and there were nearly 300,000 hospitalizations because of this condition. The statistics show that the disease has been becoming more prevalent.
Over one and half million people over the age of 62 will suffer a fracture of the spine, wrist, elbow, knee, or hip. Of the 300,000 hospitalizations mentioned above, 25 percent of those with hip fractures will die within a year. Although more women are affected, men are equally at risk. Men usually have more bone density than women and don't start losing this density until about the age of 70, whereas women start around age 62. Because of this, their healthcare providers do not monitor their bone density levels as they would with a women patient. Men need to be made aware that they are as much at risk as are women, and should discuss this with their healthcare provider.
Bone is a porous network called "trabecular bone", resembling a very fine sponge. It is also made up mineral (inorganic) and a non-mineral (organic) matrix. The most common areas where trabecular bone is lost are the spine, neck of the femur (thigh bone), the far end of the radial bone (at the wrist), shoulder, and the ribs. Other areas of the skeleton can be involved as well.
When bone density diminishes in one or more vertebrae, the result can be a crush fracture. The usual site for this happening is the 8th thoracic vertebra and below. (mid-back area). The patient may not be aware of this occurrence at the time, but as time goes on, the back develops an ache before becoming an ongoing extremely painful condition. The individual may also develop a rounded condition called a Kyphosis. This condition is also very often referred to as "Widows Hump". Very often hip fractures will occur spontaneously, even when there is no trauma associated with the occurrence. The individual may be in the act of just sitting down, or bending when the fracture occurs.
Very often the individual will not be aware that they have lost bone density, and is still losing bone density, until they have experienced some form of trauma, such as a fall, a bear hug greeting, or even when riding in a car and there is a sudden sharp stop, causing a jolt to the body. This trauma will cause the exacerbation of the condition that may have been dormant for many years.
The onset of bone density loss can be due to many different causes. These can be hormonal, inadequate intestinal calcium absorption, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle. As we get older, there can be more problems with absorption of nutrients, so loss of bone density may also be age related. If you combine poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle at an early age, you will almost be sure to develop age related osteoporosis. If the condition is not addressed at the earliest possible time, the individual becomes more prone to fractures. Therefore, if anyone starts to experience aches or pains for no apparent reasons, it is incumbent upon them to seek advice from their healthcare provider to get a definitive diagnosis and receive proper treatment. The healthcare provider will surely order X-rays that will provide evidence if crush fractures are indeed present.
Read in health hints below how to prevent and cope with bone density loss. The optimum word is prevention. The sooner one starts a program of prevention, the less bone density they will lose as they get older and will escape the pitfalls of osteoporosis.
Health Hints****
1. As mentioned above, it is important to see your healthcare provider if any symptoms are starting to occur. If the subject of doing a bone density test is not brought up, it is incumbent upon the patient to bring it up. Tell the doctor that you would like to have the test performed.
2. Diet is extremely important in the maintenance of healthy bone mass. The diet should include foods rich in calcium. These foods include dairy foods, such as yogurt, low-fat milk and cheese, preferably the low-fat variety. Green leafy vegetables and broccoli should be a part of the diet. Vary your diet by eating different vegetables each day. Fish, such as salmon, sardines scallops and oysters should be eaten twice weekly. Look for breakfast cereals and juices that have been fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Another important nutrient for increasing bone density is vitamin K and is needed for proper blood clotting. Maintaining a normal clotting factor is vital for the transportation of calcium throughout the entire body.
3. If you feel you cannot sustain a proper diet, you should take a proper supplement in order to fortify the diet, making sure that you get the necessary requirements. This too, should be discussed with your. Doctor. It is important to take a multivitamin and mineral supplement daily. The supplement you take should also contain. the needed vitamin D and vitamin K. The vitamin D aids in the absorption of the. calcium and the vitamin K in its transportation. Before the age of 50, both men and women should take 1,000 mg. of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D on a daily basis. After age 62, they should increase the calcium to 1,200 mg. of calcium and 600 to 800 IU of vitamin D. If you are not getting enough exposure to the sun, some nutritionists believe that 1000 IU of vitamin D is appropriate.
4. Smoking will decrease bone density and should be stopped.
5. Alcohol should not be used excessively. Women are permitted one glass of wine daily and men are permitted two glasses daily
6. Caffeine should be reduced as much as possible.
7. Being overweight can be a contributing factor to bone density loss and every effort should be made to loss weight.
8. Exercise can be one of the most important things you can do to maintain and improve your bone density levels. Sedentary lifestyles have been one of the greatest contributors of developing osteoporosis. It is important to keep moving as much as possible. Walk whenever possible. Swim, ride a bicycle, go bowling, golfing or play tennis, whatever suits you. Find an exercise program that you are happy with, one that you won't give up within a week or a month.
It is important to remember that it is never too late, or you are never too old to improve your bone density levels. By doing so, you reduce your chances of sustaining any type of fracture.

Recipe Development Assignment: 50 servings of baked spaghetti
To contact us Click HERE
I spent this past week in the food and nutrition office learning everything a department must do when being audited. Because of the current economic situation, the school district is currently undergoing a financial audit, which analyzes how efficiently taxpayers’ dollars are being spent in the school district. The food and nutrition services department is extremely efficient and keeps a tight handle on the budget so we did not have much to worry about. But it was great experience to witness how a school nutrition program reacts when put under the microscope.
On Friday I spent the day at an elementary school making and giving out 50 servings of baked spaghetti for a recipe development assignment. Trying to devise an original recipe that matched the cost, nutrition and acceptability requirements was extremely tricky, but this internship is meant to push and challenge me, and challenge me it did. The spaghetti bake went extremely well with the kids that I gave samples to! Many of the comments on the surveys were very positive including “tastes like heaven” and “I would like this on the school menu.” My favorite comment of all was “It tastes like candy”! I am not sure my spaghetti bake tasted like candy but if I can get kids to eat whole grain spaghetti noodles in a healthy recipe and like it, everybody wins! I am excited for this recipe to be placed on the menu for the school district. I have the week off for the Thanksgiving holiday but look forward to starting a 5 week nutrition education rotation the week I get back.

Staying Focused Through the Holidays
To contact us Click HERE
It’s that time of year. Thanksgiving break, followed by just a few short weeks of school, powering through finals, then time to relax and enjoy winter break!
It’s also time to crack down on DI or graduate school applications. Most applications are due in February, but some can be due as early as December or as late as June. Even if you have until June for a graduate school application, I don’t suggest you wait until then to do them. Senior year picks up really fast; you want to enjoy your time with friends, and focus on getting those final grades in. So even though you should enjoy your holiday breaks, I recommend taking the time when you are in a calm and relaxed environment to work on your applications and avoid stressing during spring semester.
Tips for Holiday Break:

Tips for Holiday Break:
- Prioritize: Make sure you know which applications are due the earliest so you can be sure to start on those first. Even just getting one completed will take a huge load off your shoulders when you return to school.
- Keep in touch with your teachers: Make sure you have email addresses and open communication with your professors and mentors in case you need their help with the application. A whole month without communication with your teachers can really set you back on your application.
- Take advantage of the people at home: Have your parents or siblings edit your essays and applications; they often have great advice that you haven’t been able to take advantage of while at school.
- Work around the holidays, not against them. If you dread spending the time to do the applications then your holiday break will be filled with resentment toward your future. Instead, make plans; set aside just a few days out of the weeks that you will be home to focus and concentrate on completing applications; or if you work better slow and steady, work on them for a certain amount of time each day. Either way, commit to a schedule that works around your holiday schedule so that you are not stressing about applications on Thanksgiving Day, or New Years Eve!
Q and A with Lindsey: What area of dietetics are you the most passionate about?
To contact us Click HERE
Q: What area of dietetics do you want to get a job in when you become an RD? What actions/events helped form this goal during your undergraduate years?
A: I am currently getting my master’s degree specifically in Sports Nutrition, and my internship has a sports nutrition emphasis.
Although I have always loved sports, and participated in them my entire life, I was not always sure that I wanted a career in sports. In fact, I majored in nutrition because I did not want to be a coach or athletic trainer. Although I loved the connection between nutrition and fitness, I used my undergraduate career to broaden my horizons. I consistently volunteered at a local food bank; I did laboratory research under one of my professors, as well as community research and nutrition education under another professor. I fully enjoyed all areas of nutrition.
My true passion was still revolving around the connection between exercise and nutrition. As a personal trainer, I wanted to always promote exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. I decided to specialize in sports nutrition mainly because specializing does not limit me; instead, it gives me more opportunities. My master’s degree in sports nutrition is the same as a normal Masters of Science in nutrition, except it includes extra courses in exercise. Additionally, my internship rotation still gets the same amount of hours in food service, community, and clinical, and I get extra hours in sports.
When I graduate with a masters and become an RD, I don’t have to get a job in sports nutrition only. I can do anything that a normal RD could, but now I have more options because I can also do sports nutrition.

Getting Ready to Begin my Nutrition Education Rotation

I had this past week off from my internship because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Of course my break flew by, but it left me rejuvenated and excited to get back to my internship. There are just three weeks left before my two week Christmas break, most of which I will be spending in cold, snowy Minnesota. Until then I will be completing the first half of my nutrition education rotation.
I have been looking forward to this rotation for many reasons:
This rotation will really allow me to expand upon the experiences that this internship offers me because of the wide variety of objectives such as those listed above. In a rotation such as this, what you put in is what you will get out. I plan on diving head first into this rotation to learn as much as I can about nutrition education in the classroom, and the tools I can use in my future career to educate people of all ages about the benefits of nutrition.
By: Amanda Bot
I have been looking forward to this rotation for many reasons:
- I will be teaching nutrition lessons to first and second graders. This age is so fun to work with and they love learning about how to eat healthy.
- I have the opportunity to develop and teach my own lesson plan based on a needs assessment that I will complete.
- I will be able to use my creativity to design a nutrition campaign that will be carried out in an elementary school to encourage healthy eating.
- I will be responsible for creating an info page to be used as a “menu back” and sent out to all the families in the district serving as a nutrition education tool.
This rotation will really allow me to expand upon the experiences that this internship offers me because of the wide variety of objectives such as those listed above. In a rotation such as this, what you put in is what you will get out.

Half Way There!
It is amazing for me to think that one year ago at this time I was putting my dietetic internship application packets together, not even sure which internships I was going to apply to. Now I am five months into my internship, with only five months to go until I am eligible to sit for the RD exam. The internship so far has challenged me and prepared me for a career as a dietitian in ways far beyond what I learned in the classroom.
One of the best things I have learned thus far is that I am certain that pursuing a career in school food service is the path I want to take. The rising need for dietitians in schools and the regulatory changes facing school nutrition programs are two reasons why this career path appeals to me. Here are a few of the benefits that working as a dietitian in a school nutrition program offers:
If you are interested in a career as a school dietitian or would like to know more about why I think it is such an exciting career path, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have! I hope finals are wrapping up well and that the holiday break brings some much needed time for rejuvenation and relaxation.

The rising need for dietitians in schools and the regulatory changes facing school nutrition programs are two reasons why this career path appeals to me. Here are a few of the benefits that working as a dietitian in a school nutrition program offers:
- You get to work with kids! There were so many people in my college classes who were interested in pursuing a career as a pediatric dietitian. Rather than working with kids who are already sick, school dietitians can work with kids proactively by promoting nutrition education and nutrition integrity in the meals offered in school.
- The variety of positions available to dietitians. As a dietitian you can get a job as a nutrition educator, a manager of school kitchen, an area supervisor for a district or the director of food service for an entire school district. No two school districts are alike so you can also have a variety of options in the type of school food service program you would like to work in.
- Opportunities for career advancement. Depending on where your strengths and career goals lie, school nutrition programs can offer many opportunities for professional growth. This is especially true if you are interested in nutrition management and business.
- Great work schedule. Depending on the position, school dietitians may get the summer months off and for sure the holidays as wells as most weekends (nutrition conferences may take up a weekend day or two).

Publish or Perish

In academic medicine we are all aware of the pressure to publish, and the metric by which many judge the quality of the papers that are published by a given author is the impact factor of the journal in which their papers appear. The impact factor of a journal is simply the average number of citations per article divided by the total number of “citable articles”. This method of assessing the quality of journals has become increasingly important over the last 20 years and has led to some changes in publication practices. For example, reviews tend to get cited more often than original research papers which is why review journals often have a relatively high impact factor (e.g Current Opinions in Nephrology and Hypertension in our field). Case reports, in contrast, rarely get cited and as a result, journals have moved away from publishing case reports and towards publishing reviews.
Ten years ago, Thomson Reuters (who generate the impact factors) realized that some journals were gaming the system to increase their citation count by publishing review articles and editorials that would preferentially cite papers published in their own journal. TR changed their algorithm to detect this kind of behavior and it is much less common as a result. Which brings me to this great website: Retraction Watch. This is a site which details on a daily basis papers which have been retracted from the literature for various reasons some sinister and some more innocent. Yesterday, they reported on the case of a series of articles retracted for citation manipulation which resulted in 3 journals losing their impact factors for this year. The articles were review papers which almost exclusively cited papers in another journal called “Cell Transplantation” and the authors were editorial board members of this journal. All in all, if these papers were excluded from the citation record, the impact factor of this journal would decrease from 6.2 to 4.1 for last year! This is a great post detailing the whole saga.
See here for a paper detailing the history of the impact factor.
Of course, we in the nephrology world would never get caught up in something like this…

Spring is coming soon! As we get ready for anotherseason of outdoor fun, it's important to remember to protect ourselves frommosquitoes and ticks that may spread the viruses or bacteria that cause seriousillness such as WestNile virus, Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Fortunately,we can all take steps such as using an effective insectrepellent on skin and clothing, wearing long sleeves and long pants (whenit's not too hot), taking care of our yards to get rid of standing water wheremosquitoes lay their eggs, and reducing brush, tall grasses, leaf litter, andharborage where ticks may like to hang out.
Kids, there is an important role that you can play inspreading the message about protection from these bugs. CDC and the DEETEducation Program are sponsoring the annual "Fight the Bite" Poster Contest,open to any child in grades 5 or 6. Create a poster showing people how to fightthe bite of mosquitoes and ticks and enter it in the contest. Contest rules andan entry form are available online at Fight the Bite Contest.

The arrival of warmer weather is not just a timefor moms to plan fun activities to keep children busy outdoors, it is also a good time to pamper ourselves. The warmerseasons are perfect times to follow up on heath care matters that you may havebeen neglecting. Postponing doctors’visits, these can have a long-term impact on your health. You and yourphysician may miss early signs of cancer and other illnesses. Make a list of heath care related task (dental, OB-GYN,Family Doctor, Podiatrist, etc) that you have postponed during the wintermonths and check them off as each is completed. If stress is one of your concerns, call your favorite masseuse to schedule a needed massage. It is well known that annual trips to the OB-GYNfor well-woman examinations are no picnics in the park given the cold tables, stirrups,and paper gowns that open in the back. However, skipping your OB-GYNappointment could mean missing early signs of cervical or uterine cancers. Ifpossible, discuss with your physician when you will need a mammogram and how toperform breast self-examinations to check for any lumps. If you think you may have found a lumpin your breasts, you need to seek medical care as soon as possible.
If you have postponed seeing your family phycianfor so long that you may not recognize him if he introduced himself, then you needto make an appointment for a routine check-up. Seeing your family physician may save you from debilitating effects of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. For example, a woman suffering from headaches while readingmay buy a pair of reading glasses and take some Ibuprofen to relieve theheadache. The ibuprofen may relieve that headache; however, she should see her family physician to find out if other diagnosis such as hypertensionand elevated triglycerides are not contributing to her headaches. Both diagnosescan lead to strokes or heart attacks. This is a good time to work on your diet andexercise routines. Start by addingmore fruits and vegetables to your daily diet and reduce the amount of caffeinatedand sugary drinks from your daily intake. Avoid fries and other high fat processed foods. If you hibernated during the wintermonths, see your doctor before starting a workout plan. You may have to start slowly by walkinga mile a day at the local park. Talk with your health care provider about yourhealth, diet, and exercise before you start your plan. You and your physician will be able to create adiet and exercise plan tailored to your needs.
