No Improvement in Bone Mineral Density With TNFi Therapy in RA With Osteoporosis
A retrospective study was performed to investigate the effects of TNFi on bone mineral density in patients with RA who received bisphosphonate.
Zoledronic Acid Improves Periodontal Outcomes in Osteoporosis
Patients with osteoporosis who maintain good oral hygiene can use zoledronic acid to effectively prevent symptomatic periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Risedronate Boosts Bone Mass in Steroid-Induced Osteopenia With Juvenile Rheumatic Disease
Researchers evaluated the efficacy of bisphosphonate risedronate vs alfacalcidol in steroid-induced osteopenia in children.
Burosumab May Improve Osteomalacia in X-Linked Hypophosphatemia
Burosmab may restore phosphorus homeostasis and improve mineralization defect in in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia.
Reduced Bone Loss With Nitrogen Bisphosphonates Linked to Lower Mortality Risk in Osteoporosis
Nitrogen bisphosphonate use in women may be associated with both better survival and a significant reduction in the rate of bone loss.
Osteoporosis Treatment Prevents Fracture Risk, Not Reduction in Mortality Risk
No significant association was observed between pharmacotherapies used for osteoporosis treatment and mortality rate, despite previous studies suggesting the treatments, particularly bisphosphonates, lower overall mortality.
Later Puberty Associated With Lower Bone Mineral Density Accrual
Older pubertal age was associated with lower BMD in adolescence and early adulthood, despite some catch-up during puberty.
BMD in Osteoporosis Associated With Alterations in Abundance of Gut Microbiota
Researchers determined whether gut microbiota was associated with bone mineral density in individuals at high risk for reduced BMD and fractures.
