Osteoporosis Journals

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
Provides a forum for papers of the highest quality pertaining to all areas of the biology and physiology of bone, the hormones that regulate bone and mineral metabolism.

Arthritis and Rheumatism
Offical journal of the American College of Rheumatology and covers all aspects of inflammatory disease.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
The most highly rated peer-reviewed journal in ISI's nutrition and dietetics category and publishes the latest worldwide basic and clinical studies relevant to human nutrition in topics such as obesity, vitamins and minerals, nutrition and disease, and energy metabolism.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
The world's leading peer-reviewed journal of clinical practice and applied clinical research. Each issue provides fast and in depth coverage of diabetes, reproductive endocrinology, growth hormone therapy, thyroid disease, and other critical areas of clinical endocrinology.

BONE
An interdisciplinary forum for the rapid publication of original, experimental or clinical studies, and review articles dealing with both normal and pathological processes which occur in bone or in other tissues affecting bone metabolism.

Osteoporosis International
An international multi-disciplinary journal which is a joint initiative between the International Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, Osteoporosis International provides a forum for the communication and exchange of current ideas concerning the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and management of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.

Journal of Nutrition
The publication of papers based on original nutrition research in humans and other animal species. To provide expert evaluation of the many areas of nutrition research.

Rheumatology
Publishes original clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic research, as well as papers on rehabilitation.

Calcified Tissue International
Publishes original research emphasizing the structure and function of bone and other mineralized systems in living organisms. It includes reports on connective tissues and cells, ion transport, and metabolism of hormones, nutrition, mineralized tissue ultrastructure, molecular biology, and research on humans which reveal important facets of the skeleton or bear upon bone and mineral metabolism.

Recommended Reading

Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism. Editor, Favus, 5th Edition, 2003, American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, 2025 M Street, NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036-3309
An indispensable reference for scientists and students seeking an overview of the bone and
mineral field and for clinicians who see patients with disorders of bone and mineral metabolism.

Osteoporosis. Editor, Marcus, Feldman, Kelsey, 1996, Academic Press Inc., A Division of Harcourt Brace & Company, 525 B Street, Suite 1900, San Diego, California 92101-4495
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.

Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice: Application and Interpretation. Bonnick, Second edition, 2003, Humana Press Inc., 999 Riverview Drive, Suite 208, Totowa, New Jersey 07512
This fully updated and dramatically expanded edition will allow family physicians and specialists to fully understand not only what they need to do, but also why. New to this edition-over half the book-are discussions of the clinical guidelines for selecting patients for densitometry measurements, various questionnaires and indices that have been developed to help patients identify themselves as candidates for bone mass measurements, and specific densitometry applications of diagnosis, fracture risk prediction, and monitoring changes in bone density.

Osteoporosis: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management. Editor, Orwoll and Bliziotes, 2003, Humana Press Inc., 999 Riverview Drive, Suite 208, Totowa, New Jersey 07512
In Osteoporosis: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management, leading clinicians and researchers join forces to illuminate in coupled chapters all the major scientific and clinical aspects of osteoporosis. On the basic science side, topics range from the genetics of osteoporosis and bone turnover markers, to androgen action in bone, to the basic biology of estrogen and bone. On the clinical side the authors present the latest thinking about the use of bone densitometry in treatment, the use of vitamin D and its metabolites, and the clinical utilization of salmon calcitonin, as well as parathyroid and bisphosphonate therapies, SERMs, and other important treatments.

Principles of Bone Biology. Editor, Bilezikian, Raisz, and Rodan, Vol. 1-2, Second Edition, 2002, Academic Press, A division of Harcourt, Inc., 525 B Street, Suite 1900, San Diego, California 92101-4495, USA
This comprehensive, authoritative, and timely work deals with all aspects of bone biology, including developmental and functional issues, pharmacology, and pathobiology. In addition, there is a workshop section which deals with actual methods and techniques relevant to investigators in this field. Principles of Bone Biology provides the reader with the most recent information, views, and references, focused on individual topics, contributed by the foremost autorities in the field.

Bone Densitometry For Technologists. Bonnick, Lewis, Texas Woman's University, Denton, TX, 2002, Humana Press, 999 Riverview Drive, Suite 208, Totowa, New Jersey 07512
Cmprehensive, informative, and highly practical, Bone Densitometry for Technologists emphasizes the role of densitometry and technologists in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis. It provides a sound basis for a complete understanding of the often esoteric technical manuals supplied by manufacturers, and goes foar beyond that understanding to permit expert operation of any approved desitometry device.
