L'obiettivo di questo corso è approfondire le conoscenze sull'osteoporosi e su altri disturbi comuni del metabolismo fosfo-calcico, introdotti nel corso base di endocrinologia. Gli studenti acquisiranno strumenti clinici per migliorare la comprensione delle diagnosi differenziali e sviluppare competenze pratiche per trattare i pazienti in modo efficace.

Osteoporosi
Panoramica su altre malattie metaboliche dell'osso
Carenza di vitamina D
Disturbi delle paratiroidi

Il corso elettivo su "Progressi nelle Malattie Metaboliche dell'Osso" è progettato per fornire una comprensione approfondita dell'osteoporosi, della sua diagnosi e delle attuali strategie terapeutiche.

Nel corso delle lezioni, esploreremo i meccanismi alla base dell'osteoporosi, una condizione che riduce la densità ossea e aumenta il rischio di fratture, approfondiremo i metodi diagnostici, in particolare la densitometria ossea.

Un'attenzione particolare sarà dedicata alla vitamina D, al suo ruolo essenziale nel metabolismo osseo e alle più recenti linee guida per la prevenzione delle patologie legate alla sua carenza. Inoltre, approfondiremo le linee guida per la gestione dell'iperparatiroidismo.

Infine, il corso includerà la discussione di casi clinici per favorire l'applicazione pratica delle conoscenze acquisite, offrendo consigli utili per la gestione quotidiana dei pazienti con malattie dell'osso.

The objective of this course is to deepen the knowledge of osteoporosis and other common disorders of phospho-calcium metabolism, introduced in the basic endocrinology course. Students will acquire clinical tools to enhance their understanding of differential diagnoses and develop practical skills for effectively treating patients.

Osteoporosis
Overview of Other Metabolic Bone Diseases
Vitamin D Deficiency
Parathyroid Disorders

The elective course on "Advances in Metabolic Bone Diseases" is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of osteoporosis, its diagnosis, and the current therapeutic strategies. Throughout the course, we will explore the mechanisms behind osteoporosis, a condition that reduces bone density and increases the risk of fractures, as well as diagnostic methods, including bone densitometry.

A special focus will be placed on vitamin D, its essential role in bone metabolism, and the latest guidelines for the prevention of diseases related to its deficiency. We will also delve into the guidelines for the management of hyperparathyroidism.

Finally, the course will include the discussion of real clinical cases to promote the practical application of the acquired knowledge, offering practical tips for the daily management of patients with bone diseases.
