By Laura L. Tosi, MD; Mary I. O’Connor, MD; and Annie Hayashi Is there a link between SSRIs and bone loss? NIH/NIAMS and AAOS This is the first in a series of articles featuring orthopaedic-related research funded by the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIH/NIAMS).

Contributions to OREF have long-term benefits Research funded in part by the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) and conducted by Victor M.

Dr. Goldberg hopes that his years of promoting orthopaedic research through leadership, advocacy, and direct contributions to OREF will spur equally important research for the future.
