Bone Health - Running: Can You Outrun Your Past?

    TLDR The runner's bone injuries were linked to untreated Celiac Disease and low energy availability affecting her bone density.
    In 2019, a case study was conducted on a 20-year-old female distance runner with a history of recurrent bone stress injuries. The patient had a history of Celiac Disease and reported fewer than 6 menstrual cycles per year. The diagnostic workup revealed a left sacral stress fracture and her injury history was significant. The final diagnosis attributed her recurrent bone stress injuries to low bone density, which was secondary to uncontrolled Celiac Disease during her adolescent bone mass accrual, and functional hypothalamic amenorrhea due to current low energy availability. The treatment included a regimen for sacral stress fracture, biomechanical assessment and rehabilitation, a medically modified training plan, monitoring by Sports Nutrition, and a discussion about treatment with transdermal estrogen.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A bodybuilder's hair transplant appears unnatural with a straight hairline and low density, possibly worsened by not using finasteride. The Turkish clinic is criticized for poor design, and the transplant may have been free for promotion.
