Dairy and Exercise for Bone Health: Evidence from Randomized Controlled Trials and Recommendations for Future Research.

Purpose Of Review: To examine evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on how modifiable factors such as exercise and nutrition, with a focus on dairy products, play a role in improving bone health across the lifespan.

Recent Findings: Meta-analyses of RCTs demonstrate the advantages of consuming dairy products to improve bone mineral density/content (BMD/BMC) and markers of bone metabolism and turnover (BTMs). Eighteen RCTs were conducted investigating the combined effects of dairy and exercise, with most indicating a benefit in youth and adult populations.

Probabilistic Modelling of the Food Matrix Effects on Curcuminoid's In Vitro Oral Bioaccessibility.

The bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds plays a major role in the nutritional value of foods, but there is a lack of systematic studies assessing the effect of the food matrix on bioaccessibility. Curcuminoids are phytochemicals extracted from that have captured public attention due to claimed health benefits. The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model to predict curcuminoid's bioaccessibility in biscuits and custard based on different fibre type formulations.

Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocol: An Effective and Useful Tool to Assess Discoid Lateral Meniscus Instability in Children.

Objectives: One of the most common symptoms in cases of discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) in children is a "snapping" knee. The clock in extension, followed by a pop in flexion, perceived by the clinician, reflects the meniscal displacement caused by the peripheral meniscocapsular detachment. Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results in a 40% false-negative rate for detecting this instability.

Frontal correction assessment in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery using halo gravity traction before to posterior vertebral arthrodesis: a multicenter retrospective observational study.

Purpose: Preoperative preparation with halo gravity traction (HGT) has several advantages but is still controversial. A multicenter, observational, retrospective study was conducted to determine whether HGT provides better frontal correction in surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, all patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) AIS with a Cobb angle greater than 80° were included.

Arthroscopic Suture-Saucerization of Discoid Meniscus Allows Volume Conservation but Does Not Fully Restore Coverage.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of meniscoplasty suture-saucerization on volume and surface coverage of lateral discoid menisci.

Methods: This retrospective study included all consecutive 10 patients treated between 2014 and 2019 who had magnetic resonance imaging before and after surgery and 15 controls. The MITK 3M3 semiautomatic software was used to segment the meniscus and cartilage before and after surgery to measure the percentage of meniscus coverage on the tibial cartilage.
