Objectives: To investigate whether the presence of Colles fracture leads to diagnostic studies or treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Design: Retrospective study with follow-up of incident cases.
Setting: Hospital General de Vic and Primary Care Centre Osona. Vic. Barcelona.
Participants And Methods: We studied 80 postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture during 1995-1996. The clinical records were systematically reviewed and treatment with antiosteoporotic drugs before and after Colles' fracture were compared.
Measurements And Main Results: Diagnostic studies were found in 3 (3.8%) patients. 6 patients (7.5%) took antiosteoporotic drugs before the fracture while 21 (26.3%, p < 0.001) did so after it.
Conclusions: A recent Colles' fracture induces few osteoporosis diagnostic studies. However, it leads to a significant increase in the use of antiosteoporotic drugs.

Genomic Drivers of Coronary Artery Disease and Risk of Future Outcomes After Coronary Angiography.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Disease characteristics of genetically mediated coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography and the association of genomic risk with outcomes after coronary angiography are not well understood.
Objective: To assess the angiographic characteristics and risk of post-coronary angiography outcomes of patients with genomic drivers of CAD: familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), high polygenic risk score (PRS), and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective cohort study of 3518 Mass General Brigham Biobank participants with genomic information who underwent coronary angiography was conducted between July 18, 2000, and August 1, 2023.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: This study investigates the association between visual function and retinal vasculature metrics, particularly perfusion capacity (PC), in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM), using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: This retrospective study includes 30 eyes from 30 iERM patients who had surgery, with a three-month follow-up period. In addition, 28 eyes from 28 healthy individuals served as a control group.

Department II of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Dongzhimen Hospital Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, No. 116, Cuiping West Road, Tongzhou District, Beijing, 101121, China.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-499a-5p in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and its value in early diagnosis of ASD. This is a retrospective case-control study that included 40 children with ASD as a case group and 43 healthy children as a control group. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on all subjects, and the children were scored with childhood autism rating scale (CARS) and autism behavior checklist (ABC).

Purpose: To conduct a scoping review of the related research on cognitive frailty (CF) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, so as to provide a basis for early diagnosis, treatment and intervention of CF in MHD patients.
Methods: Utilizing a scoping review approach, we searched PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu (VIP) for literature on CF in MHD patients up to October 20, 2024. Two researchers conducted independent screening and data extraction of the literature's fundamental characteristics.
Exploring extracellular RNA as drivers of chemotherapy resistance in cancer.

January 2025
Centre for Research Impact & Outcome-Chitkara College of Pharmacy, Chitkara University, Punjab, India.
Chemotherapy resistance (CR) represents one of the most important barriers to effective oncological therapy and often leads to ineffective intervention and unfavorable clinical prognosis. Emerging studies have emphasized the vital significance of extracellular RNA (exRNA) in influencing CR. This thorough assessment intends to explore the multifaceted contributions of exRNA, such as exosomal RNA, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, to CR in cancer.
