| | Postgraduate Medicine: Steroid-induced osteoporosis |
| | Asthmatic patients who rely on long-term, high-dose corticosteroid therapy are at increased risk for osteoporosis. | | | The effects of corticosteroids on bone loss are now well known and are an important concern in asthmatic patients who require systemic corticosteroid therapy for more than 3 months (4). | | | Corticosteroids decrease bone density at the hip and forearm; however, changes occur more slowly in these areas than in the spine because of greater cortical bone mass. |

| | This study indicates that intramuscular repository corticosteroids are at least as effective as oral corticosteroids in the management of the acute asthmatic outpatient, with a distinct advantage with regard to patient compliance. | | | Oral vs repository corticosteroid therapy in acute asthma. | | | I share your feeling that systemic corticosteroids should not be used unless absolutely needed and where therapeutic approaches with less potential adverse effects are not sufficiently effective. |

| | Corticosteroid Receptors and Depression -- Neurotransmitter.net |
| | Corticosteroids are known to influence emotions and cognitive processes, such as learning and memory. | | | ACTH release results in the release of corticosteroids from the adrenal that, subsequently, through mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors, exert negative feedback on, among other things, the hippocampus, the pituitary and the hypothalamus. | | | "This study examined the hypothesis that experimentally induced corticosteroid resistance in the brain would lead to adaptations in the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis similar to the endocrine features of the endogenous resistance accompanying the pathogenesis of depression. |

| | Corticosteroid injections for rotator cuff disorders - [Medication] |
| | Repeated use of corticosteroids may weaken tendons and harm other soft tissues in the shoulder. | | | The effectiveness of corticosteroid injections can vary, and some people do not gain much relief from inflammation and pain. | | | If the anesthetic relieves the pain and allows you to move your shoulder normally, the diagnosis is most likely some form of rotator cuff disease. |

| | Corticosteroid injections for shoulder pain (Cochrane Review) |
| | This review of corticosteroid injections for shoulder pain is one in a series of reviews of varying interventions for shoulder disorders. | | | Background: While many treatments, including corticosteroid injections in and around the shoulder, are advocated to be of benefit for shoulder pain, few are of proven efficacy. | | | Authors' conclusions: Despite many RCTs of corticosteroid injections for shoulder pain, their small sample sizes, variable methodological quality and heterogeneity means that there is little overall evidence to guide treatment. |

| | U.S. Pharmacist - Continuing Education - Corticosteroid-induced Osteoporosis - Lesson |
| | Pharmacists must assess whether the corticosteroid is intended for long-term use and whether the patient understands the impact of these drugs on bone health. | | | The results of these studies are hard to interpret due to the various bisphosphonates and regimens, as well as the heterogenicity in populations, the effect of the underlying disease on bone, and concomitant therapeutic interventions. | | | An average of 5% of bone is lost during the first year of long-term therapy, and thereafter annualized rates of loss range from 0.3% to 3%. |

| | "The availability of Flovent Rotadisk means that for the first time ever, physicians have an effective corticosteroid therapy for asthma patients as young as four years of age," said Dr. Edwin Bronsky, clinical professor of pediatrics, University of Utah, and director of the Intermountain Clinical Research Group in Salt Lake City. | | | Flovent Rotadisk, with twice-a-day-dosing, is the only inhaled powder corticosteroid asthma medication that can be tailored to each patient's condition with multiple dosing strengths. | | | For adult patients being weaned from oral corticosteroids, particular care should be taken because adrenal insufficiency may occur when transferring to an inhaled corticosteroid. |
