German scientists use computer to judge the efficacy of osteoporosis drugs
Osteoporosis has become a disease of the general public. In Germany alone, there are about 7 million people with this disease, most of whom are women who are in menopause or have menopause. Recently, scientists have used computer simulation software to judge the efficacy of osteoporosis drugs.
According to the Deutsche Welle radio website, a research team led by Zissett, a professor of biomechanics at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, developed a computer simulation software that uses computerized tomography scanners to provide detailed data on patient bones, including bones. Accurate three-dimensional shape, density distribution of bone in bones, etc. “We put this data into a mathematical model, the so-called finite element model. With this model, we can calculate what happens to the bone after the force is applied and how it will deform. The deformation is too great. The bones will break, so we can calculate the maximum load the bone can withstand."
Chisset and a medical physicist at the University of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany tested a drug for osteoporosis. They conducted a two-year follow-up study of 44 patients. By comparing changes in bones before and after medication, they found that bone strength increased by an average of 28%. ——Midi Medical Network
