The number of the people with osteoporosis increases as the population ages. Increasing numbers of patients with osteoporotic fractures may have a serious economic impact on society and on the quality of life of the patient. We review some literature and provide expert opinion on the burden of osteoporosis. Awareness among clinicians and health care professionals on osteoporosis should be increased to overcome the burden of the disease. Although most of the osteoporotic fractures are treated by orthopaedic surgeons, many patients with these problems are not diagnosed appropriately and treated for probable osteoporosis. Appropriate diagnosis of the disease is essential to prevent osteoporotic fractures and related mortality and morbidity. Indirect costs and sociologic and psychological impact of fractures should be evaluated together with the direct costs of the disease.

Investigation of drug-related changes on bone tissues of rat animal models in healthy and disease states Garip, Şebnem; Severcan, Feride; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biochemistry (2012) Disease- and drug-related bone disorders are rapidly increasing in the population. The drugs which are used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic derangements, may have negative or positive effects on bone tissues. In the first study, the possible side-effects of Carbamazepine and epileptic seizures on bone structure and composition were investigated by FTIR and synchrotron-FTIR microspectroscopy, AFM and micro- and nano-hardness analysis. The effects on the blood parameters, bone tu...
Evaluating two shopping centers in the light of principles of universal design Sevük, Muhammet Sancar; İmamoğlu, Vacit; Department of Architecture (2011) Starting from the second half of the 20th century, the number of aged people and people with aging-related disabilities has increased significantly in the world. Parallel to this increase, special projects have been developed for aged people in the developed countries, but with these projects aged people were often excluded from society. People with disabilities were already living isolated from society. With the effect of raising awareness in the public after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Hu...
Analysis of happiness related qualities of mobile physical activity applications Işık, Hande; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2013) Due to the increase in the number of people choosing sedentary lifestyle, there are efforts to encourage people to be physically active. In that regard, persuasive technology is found to be a promising tool for changing and maintaining physical activity behavior. Owing to advantages such as ubiquity and connectivity, mobile phones are considered to be beneficial for establishing a platform for persuasive technology. Despite the growing number of interventions realized through the creation of persuasive mobi...
Nanopatterned tubular collagen scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering Zorlutuna, Pınar; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2009) One of the major causes of death in developed countries is cardiovascular disease that affects small and medium sized blood vessels. In most cases autologous grafts have to be used which have limited availability. A functional tissue engineered vessel can be the ultimate solution for vascular reconstruction. Tissue engineered constructs with cells growing in an organized manner have been shown to have improved mechanical properties. In the present study collagen scaffolds with 650 nm, 500 nm and 332.5 nm wi...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of wharton’s jelly and menstrual blood stem cells Karadaş, Özge; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Köse, Gamze Torun; Department of Biotechnology (2011) The importance of developing new techniques for the treatment of bone and joint diseases is increasing continuosly together with the increase of human population and the average life span. Especially bone fractures as a result of osteoporosis are often seen in humans older than 50 years old. The expenses of bone and joint disease operations are very high and the duration of recovery is long. Because of these reasons World Health Organization, The United Nations and 37 countries announced that the years 2000...
