Osteoporosis in Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the most common systemic features of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But there had been no data regarding osteoporosis in COPD patients in Bangladesh. Objectives: To determine the frequency of osteoporosis in COPD patients.Materials & Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study. COPD patients were recruited from Sarkari kormachari hospital. Patients were excluded if they had asthma, any disease affecting bones and calcium homeostasis or were receiving drugs related to bone metabolism. Demographic data were collected including age, smoking history, inhaled corticosteroid use, body mass index, treatment history hospital admission. Chest x-ray was done to exclude any infection or malignancy. Blood was obtained for complete blood count, renal function test, CRP. Bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) was conducted by using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA scan) at second to fourth lumbar spines (L2-4) and femoral neck.Results: The overall prevalence of osteoporosis according to the lowest T-score at either L2-4 or femoral neck were 56.7%. This is very high than other country. BMI and CRP were significantly associated with osteoporosis.Conclusion: The frequency of osteoporosis in Bangladeshi COPD patients was higher than others. Osteoporosis was associated with low BMI and high level of CRP.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 114-118

If one assumes, as I did before reading this book, that the hospital of long ago was basically the same in form, function, scope, and intent as the hospital of today (minus, of course, high tech and physician-specialists) then one is in for a surprise on reading The Hospital in History . About all that the hospital of 100 to 500 years ago shares with the hospital of today is the name. What emerges is that medieval and early modern hospitals were not primarily medical institutions—most of their patients were not even sick. And doctors had little control over hospitals until recently. Hospitals were controlled by the donor (for the benefit of the donor's immortal soul) or the church or monastery as a sort of employee benefit program for aged monks and nuns or by the government (which largely ignored the hospital unless political considerations forced it to do otherwise).
