What is ISM? Students choose a mentor within their chosen topic of

study with whom to work with the remainder of the semester.

The course includes intense research, original idea generation, original product design, and a presentation of what they learned at the end of the semester.

Students learn:• Professionalism• Time management• Effective oral and written communication• Interpersonal skills• Interviewing• resume writing, and • goal setting

To help prepare these students for success after high school.

Project Topic: Osteoporosis What is it?

• A medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D

Why did I choose it? • Because I originally did not know that

endocrinologists diagnose and treat osteoporosis so I thought it was interesting how a career relating to the endocrine system can also deal with bones

Key Points What is osteoporosis?

• What the disease really is and prognosis The medications & treatments used for

each • There are many different ways to treat this

disease and I want to highlight the major ones The effects for each one and which is the

one patients mostly use • To educate my audience to know what they re

going into if they ever encounter this disease What recent research has come up with

Bone Basics Some people think of bones as hard and

lifeless, but they are actually living, growing tissue. Your bones are made up of three components that make them flexible and strong:

• Collagen: A protein that gives bones a flexible

framework 

• Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes:

Make bones hard and strong 

• Living bone cells: Remove and replace

weakened sections of bone

Bone Basics Continued Children and teenagers form bone faster than they lose bone.

Children's’ bones continue getting denser until they peak bone mass, the point when you have the

greatest amount of bone you will ever have.

Peak bone mass usually happens around the ages of 18 and 25.

The more bone you have at the time of peak bone mass, the less likely you are to break a bone or

get osteoporosis later in life.

After you reach peak bone mass, the balance between bone formation and bone loss might start

to change.  You may start to slowly lose more bone than you form.

Between the ages of 40-60, bone loss usually speeds up in both men and women. For most

women, bone loss increases after menopause, when estrogen levels drop sharply. Increasing the

chance of getting osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis Basics Osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease.

Osteoporosis increases the risk for breaking a bone. About half of all women over the age of 50 will have a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra during their lifetime.

A medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue

Usually a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D

A genetic disorder, if your parents have it, you might too.

Medicines to treat osteoporosis can help prevent future fractures. But spine bones that have already collapsed cannot be reversed.

Osteoporosis can cause a person to become disabled from weakened bones

Medications Used to Treat Osteoporosis

On the handout

Product First I will create a survey for some of

Dr. Kaul’s patients to answer and then I’ll create a website about the medications used, the disease and what people usually take and make them feel better

Conclusion Overview what I have done. Why I did what I did. And any questions?

Thank You Thank you Dr. Kaul, Mrs. Click, and
