OSTEOPOROSIS 2 VOLS.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the amount of bone mass significantly decreases over a period of time. Because of the decreased bone mass in patients with osteoporosis, painful fractures occur, often caused by what would normally be a mild trauma. Doctors are searching for a way to rectify this by identifying treatments and therapies that can help prevent further bone loss and rebuild the bone that has been depleted.  
 
This Second Edition of the authoritative text in the field gives an objective treatment of all relevant aspects of osteoporosis. Topics covered include basic biology, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, preclinical issues, experimental medicine, management, and therapeutics. Written by renowned experts in this field, this book is a must-have for the researcher, the academic clinician, or anyone in the field of bone biology.  

Reviews
 
Praise for the First Edition  
 
"...interesting, comprehensive and up-to-date: each chapter has something new and important to say...Whichever direction one chooses to approach this monumental work I predict it will be worthwhile"  
-Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery  
 
"...a textbook focused solely on this condition and encompassing this diversity of research has been lacking. This book does a terrific job of filling the gap. It contains 70 chapters grouped in six sections...All the chapters are authoritative and include up-to-date references...Osteoporosis is quite comprehensive; indeed, topics that typically receive brief treatment elsewhere (osteoporosis in minority groups and in men) receive entire chapters here...The book also covers relevant methodologic concepts, no doubt reflecting the editors desire to make the material accessible to readers with other primary research interests." -THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
