Objectives: We aimed to explore the possible effects of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) on the risk of sarcopenia and its possible interaction in the association between the risk of sarcopenia and element concentration.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals 18-75 years old in Qamdo, a KBD-endemic area. All individuals received physical and radiological examinations before recruitment.
Article Synopsis
- ALSUntangled examines alternative treatments for ALS, focusing on psilocybin, a psychedelic compound from mushrooms.
- Psilocybin may theoretically help slow ALS due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and influence neurogenesis and inflammation, but there's no existing research specifically on its effects in ALS patients.
- Due to potential risks of psychological side effects and lack of supporting evidence, the use of psilocybin for ALS progression is not currently endorsed.
Bone Microstructure and Bone Strength Among Patients with Pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Calcif Tissue Int
December 2024
The present study aimed to assess bone strength and microstructure in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), nonsurgical HP (NS-HP), and healthy controls. A total of 54 PHP1 patients (14 PHP1a, 40 PHP1b), 54 age-/sex- matched NS-HP patients and 27 age-/sex-matched controls were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, biochemical indices and HR-pQCT indices were respectively collected.
