Periprosthetic knee joint infection caused by which was first -osteoarticular brucellosis or osteoarthrosis: A case report.

Background: Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis worldwide and is endemic in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. However, it is uncommon in Central Europe, and periprosthetic infections caused by are therefore rare. Due to the low prevalence and nonspecific clinical presentation of the disease, accurate diagnosis can be challenging; no gold standard currently exists for treating brucellosis.

Genetic predisposition for adult lactose intolerance and relation to diet, bone density, and bone fractures.

Unlabelled: Evidence that genetic disposition for adult lactose intolerance significantly affects calcium intake, bone density, and fractures in postmenopausal women is presented. PCR-based genotyping of lactase gene polymorphisms may complement diagnostic procedures to identify persons at risk for both lactose malabsorption and osteoporosis.

Introduction: Lactase deficiency is a common autosomal recessive condition resulting in decreased intestinal lactose degradation.
