Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the management of osteoporosis in a rural Japanese community hospital, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment practices for women aged 65 and older who were recommended for testing.
- - Findings revealed that only 14% of eligible patients underwent bone mineral density (BMD) testing, with a diagnosis rate of 41%, but only 19% received treatment.
- - The low testing rates, especially among older adults and those needing nursing care, indicate that osteoporosis may be underdiagnosed, necessitating further research and intervention strategies to improve management in this population.
Emphysematous gastritis and gastric emphysema are different diseases. Sometimes, we treat the diseases without distinguishing them clearly because both are rare, and the mortality rate of emphysematous gastritis cases is high (55%). Gastric emphysema is more well known than is emphysematous gastritis after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement (80%).

- Granulomatous mastitis is a rare but benign condition mostly seen in women who have given birth, and it can sometimes lead to another condition called erythema nodosum; treatment often involves steroids.
- This case study discusses a pregnant woman who had granulomatous mastitis with erythema nodosum, which was successfully treated by drainage alone, possibly linked to increased cortisol levels during pregnancy.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers should consider granulomatous mastitis in pregnant women experiencing persistent mastitis, and that steroid treatment may not be necessary, potentially reducing risks of steroid-related complications.
