Interventions for osteoporosis is a continuation of the flock of ostriches with porous-bones that got loose and run into the nearest town and cause a ruckus. Patients are often advised to increase calcium intake, shown by the up-arrow calcium-cow, either by increased calcium in the diet or calcium supplements. This should be done along with vitamin D supplements, shown by the viking (D) daisy, especially in postmenopausal women. There are also a number of drugs that can be used in treating osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates, shown by the bike-phosphate-P, inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption thereby increasing total bone mass. Raloxifene, depicted as the rolex-flea, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator and works to increase bone mineral density. Denosumab, the dino-sumo, is often used in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis as it is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a protein associated with the formation and function of osteoclasts. Calcitonin, shown by the cow-throne, can also be a helpful drug as it works by inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption. Lastly, another type of drug used in treating osteoporosis is teriparatide, shown by the tiara-parade, which works by increasing the action of osteoblasts. A bone densitometry or DEXA scan, shown by Dexter using a bone scanner, can be done to measure bone mineral density to assess the changes in bone density over time as well as to assess the effectiveness of treatment. Care of a patient with osteoporosis should also include educating on the importance of engaging in weight bearing exercises, shown by the weights the bear is using to exercise.&nbsp; So to recap. Care of a patient with osteoporosis includes increased calcium intake and vitamin D supplements along with drugs such as bisphosphonates, raloxifene, denosumab, calcitonin, or teriparatide. A cone densitometry (dexa) scan may be done and weight bearing exercises should be encouraged.&nbsp;

A crazed stampede of Ostriches-with-porous-bones run into nearest town, causing a ruckus for a parade in route. First, a Calcium-cow at the end of the parade jumps Up and out of the way of the mob of angry birds. The Ostriches ran out of fear and anger because their porous-bones caused much pain. However, with each float they ran by they got better and better as the parade participants helped heal them. In a giant ship float held a Viking-daisy, who threw out daisies like candy at a parade. Some of the daisies filled holes in the ostrich&rsquo;s bones, making them feel a bit better. The flock slowed down and started to enjoy the parade. They saw that a Bike-Phosphate-P was pulling the ship, ridin by a Rolex-flea. Flea joins in by throwing out some rolexes that fill the porous-bones as well. He gets so into it that he almost loses grip of the Dino-sumo balloon float ahead of him. Fortunately, Cow-throne was there to keep hold. He shares his royal float with the leader of the parade, Tiara-parade. She notices the Ostriches are feeling much better and decide to take them to see Dexter and his Bone Scanner to see their progress. Everyone took part in helping the poor flightless birds, even the Weights Bear who Exercised by lifting the porous boned-legs helped. All together, they were able to help the Ostriches build stronger bones. And the results on the Bone Scanner were clear, their interventions had greatly improved the ostriches&rsquo; porous-bones. &nbsp;
