Untargeted metabolomics using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for rapid discovery of metabolite biomarkers to reveal therapeutic effects ofPsoralea corylifoliaseeds against osteoporosis

“…[2][3][4] OP can occur in different genders and at any age, but it is mostly found in postmenopausal women and elderly men. 5 According to epidemiological statistics, the incidence of primary osteoporosis in the world is increasing year by year, which has already had a serious impact on the quality of life and physical health of the elderly, and has brought enormous economic pressure on families and society, 6,7 It has become a public health problem that seriously jeopardizes the health of the elderly.

Patient engagement in clinical guidelines development: input from > 1000 members of the Canadian Osteoporosis Patient Network

“…Participants identified physicians and healthcare professionals as their preferred source of information on osteoporosis and fractures and they are agreeable to spending a significant amount of time to prepare for a physician visit and to discuss the results of fracture risk assessment. Therefore, in addition to guideline development, we will engage in the development and implementation of tools to support Evidence of consideration for patient beliefs, values, and preferences is often not provided in osteoporosis clinical practice guidelines [21]. In a recent review of seventy international guidelines, only 39% included statements about patients' values and preferences; most of these statements were conceptualized as preferences for one medication over another or in terms of financial costs of therapies.…”

Women's values and preferences on low-molecular-weight heparin and pregnancy: a mixed-methods systematic review.

“…The utility value for the health state 'pregnancy with LMWH prophylaxis' was measured using a feeling thermometer (a visual analogue scale (VAS)) (40,46). The overall mean and standard deviation (SD) was 81 (15) meaning that women placed receiving LMWH injections during pregnancy at around 80 on a scale of 0 to 100, hence, taking LMWH during pregnancy as something relatively close to good health.…”

“…Good Reporting of A Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS) criteria have highlighted this limitation, in which judgements about integration could rarely be made due to the lack of integration of data and ndings (13). Therefore, this review contributes to the eld of mixed methods research by using an integrative-convergent designs (14) that are optimal to conduct the study of this phenomena (15)(16)(17).…”
