Chronic effects of stroke on hip bone density and tibial morphology: a longitudinal study
Conclusions There is evidence of continuous trabecular bone loss in the paretic tibial distal epiphysis among chronic stroke patients, but it tends to plateau after 2 years of stroke onset. The steady state may have been reached earlier in the hip and tibial diaphysis.

Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness is Inversely Related to Bone Density in Female but not in Male Patients with Acute Stroke
CONCLUSIONSThis study showed that carotid IMT/plaque thickness was inversely related to the BMD in female but not in male patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Inflammatory Claims About Inflammation
We all appreciate the elegance of simple solutions to complex problems. But we know too that simplicity can often masquerade as truth, hiding a more nuanced reality. Such is the case with inflammation, where pseudoscience, exaggerated claims, false promises, and dangerous oversimplification have dominated for too long. Here is a typical missive: "Inflammation controls our lives. Have you or a loved one dealt with pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, or cancer? If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammatio...

Predictors of low bone mineral density of the stroke-affected hip among ambulatory individuals with chronic stroke
Conclusion Low BMD of the stroke-affected side hip is prevalent in over a third of individuals with lower limb motor impairments. These individuals may be at particular risk of accelerated loss of BMD at the hip from asymmetrical gait pattern and poor affected-side ankle dorsiflexor strength. These impairments are intervention targets that may be addressed during rehabilitation which includes resistance training and addresses gait impairments.

Hip fracture after first‐ever stroke: a population‐based study
ConclusionsThese findings imply that osteoporosis may play a major role in the occurrence of hip fracture in the first four years after a first‐ever stroke. Early intervention to prevent bone loss should be regarded as an important part in stroke management, especially in older females, and should be sustained for four years at least. The benefit of antidepressants in stroke patients should be weighed against the increased risk of hip fracture.

Falls and comorbidity: The pathway to fractures.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the overall reduction in fractures can be explained by reduction in falls related comorbidity. PMID: 24434943 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
