The prevalence of osteoporosis is expected to increase even further due to the reported increase of life expectancy worldwide and the costs of osteoporotic fracture–related morbidity and mortality are going to burden the healthcare system. Optimization of bone health throughout life can help prevent osteoporosis and its consequences. Many studies have been published in order to examine osteoporosis management strategies and their efficacy.</em> <strong><em>Objective: </em></strong><em>A lot of literature have been done in order to provide a better outcomes for patients presented with post-menopausal osteoporosis, in our review we aim to discuss the recent literature that discussed the recent updates regarding its management. </em> <strong><em>Method: </em></strong><em>PubMed database were used for articles selection. All relevant articles related to our review were chosen to cover the following topics: Osteoporosis, Post-menopausal, Management and Diagnosis. We excluded other articles, which are not related to our objectives. The data have been extracted according to specific form to be reviewed by the authors.</em> <strong><em>Conclusion: </em></strong><em>The mainstay of prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis is estrogen replacement therapy. In addition, increasing calcium intake and vitamin D is needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Bisphosphonates are the most used anti-resorptive agents in the world for the treatment of osteoporosis and are in use for three decades. The most known anabolic therapy is PTH. Regarding prevention, exercise has the potential to be a safe and effective way to avert bone loss in postmenopausal women.</em>

CTS of mild to moderate severity can often be effectively treated in a primary care environment. However, many patients being referred immediately to hospital for consideration of surgical decompression. Objective: In this study, we aim to evaluate the available primary care options and their efficacy in dealing with CTS. Methods: PubMed database was used for articles selection, and the following keys used in the mesh (("Carpal tunnel syndrome"[Mesh]) AND ("Carpal tunnel syndrome/Management"[Mesh] OR "Carpal tunnel syndrome/Diagnosis"[Mesh] OR "Carpal tunnel syndrome/ Primary Health Care Center)). 5 studies were enrolled according to our inclusion, and exclusion criteria. Results: Patients successfully treated with wrist splinting alone reported a higher level of satisfaction with their treatment compared to patients...
