 | | Bone is a continually changing throughout life, explains Jill Lindberg, MD, CO-director of the Metabolic Bone Clinic at the Ochsner Medical Clinic in New Orleans, Louisiana. | | | Bone, especially those areas at risk, such as the wrist, spine and hip, responds well to exercise. |

| | Temporary Brittle Bone Disease (TBBD) - Disease where newborn babies and infants are susceptible to fractures due to a weakened skeletal system. | | | Current research has shown that this condition is common with premature babies, twins, or breech babies with reduced fetal movement in the womb. | | | Despite striking radiologic changes in the acute stages, previously affected bones are often completely normal on restudy. |

| | Some studies have shown that ipriflavone therapy not only stops bone loss, it also actually increases bone density and significantly reduces the number of vertebral fractures and amount of bone pain. | | | The effect on bone density was similar to that of conventional hormone-replacement therapy. | | | In that study, ipriflavone was no more effective than a placebo for preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. |

| Â | The Brittle Bone Disease |
| | In osteomalacia, the bones are bendy, and may be painful if the person puts strain on them. | | | But there are indications that a number of emotional conditions affect bone formation. | | | If a child does not get enough vitamin D, he develops a condition called Rickets, which is a condition of not enough calcium being deposited in the bones, leaving them "bendy". |

| Â | Brittle bone disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) |
| | The bones do not always behave in a brittle way; fractures may fail to occur when expected from an injury. | | | Help in the form of competent occupational therapy may be invaluable in ensuring that parents are given good advice in handling of a young child, in prescribing the most appropriate seating or wheelchairs, in advising on adaptations to the home and on practical ways of ensuring a good education. | | | Hearing loss in OI is most commonly due to problems in the small bones in the middle ear which may be fractured or deformed so that sounds are not transmitted effectively to the inner ear. |

| | Temporary brittle bone disease: associated with decreased fetal movement and osteopenia. | | | The reduced amniotic fluid, in turn, would have constricted fetal movements (the mother did note a lack of fetal movement during pregnancy), this in turn leading to "temporary brittle bone disease" discussed above. | | | The results of this study showed a striking association between TBBD and decreased fetal movement during pregnancy, something observed by the mother of Baby Alan during her pregnancy. |

| Â | Research breakthrough for brittle bone disease |
| | Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, affects about one in nearly 20,000 children born each year. | | | This crippling disorder, similar to osteoporosis, causes frequent bone fractures, progressive deformities of the arms and legs, and chronic bone pain. | | | The chronic pain experienced by these children was also reduced, and most patients also became more mobile. |

| Â | About Brittle Bone Disease A General Overview |
| | Orthopaedic Surgery can be of help in many cases but each fracture must be treated carefully to prevent deformities of the bone developing during the healing process. | | | Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetically-linked condition which causes abnormalities in the collagen within the bone structure, It is quite distinct from more widely known conditions, such as Osteoporosis, which are related to a loss of Calcium in the bones. | | | Work is progressing into a number of possible drug treatments but these are still at the stage of clinical trials and are not generally available. |

| | Scientists have identified a gene which they believe may play a key a role in determining who develops osteoporosis or brittle bone disease. | | | While further research is needed, the scientists believe the gene has a similar effect in humans. | | | The findings raise the prospect of drugs to stop this gene from producing the chemicals that may weaken bones. |
