Background: Unplanned readmission to the neurological intensive care unit (ICU) is an underinvestigated topic in patients admitted after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency, clinical risk factors, and outcome of bounce back to the neurological ICU in a cohort of patients admitted after ICH.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational study inspecting bounce back to the neurological ICU in patients admitted with spontaneous ICH over an 8-year period.

Cells of the osteoblast lineage play an important role in regulating the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche and early B-cell development in animal models, perhaps via parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent mechanisms. There are few human clinical studies investigating this phenomenon. We studied the impact of long-term daily teriparatide (PTH 1-34) treatment on cells of the hematopoietic lineage in postmenopausal women.

Background: Osteoporosis medications increase bone-mineral density (BMD) and lower but do not eliminate fracture risk. The combining of anabolic agents with bisphosphonates has not improved efficacy. We compared combined teriparatide and denosumab with both agents alone.

Context: Animal models suggest that the osteoblast-stimulating actions of PTH are mediated by acute suppression of sclerostin, an inhibitor of the anabolic Wnt pathway. The immediate physiological changes in serum sclerostin in response to PTH infusion have not been reported in human studies.

Objective: We sought to determine the acute physiological effects of PTH infusion on serum sclerostin and bone turnover markers in healthy adult men.
