Osteoporosis is a common and preventable disorder of the older adult skeleton that predisposes an individual to an increased risk of fracture, a major cause of disability in older adults. Most patients with osteoporosis have an identifiable cause of bone loss. Factors contributing to osteoporotic fractures are more often associated with disordered neuromuscular function affecting postural stability than disordered skeletal integrity. Effective pharmacologic agents are available for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Prevention of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly, particularly nonvertebral fractures, presents unique challenges. Fracture prevention requires identification and management of disorders that contribute to falls, the prevention of falls, and reduction of the impact force of falls. Thus, both pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies need to be employed. The presence of multiple co-morbidities further complicates management of osteoporosis in the elderly population.

Association between diabetes mellitus and trochanteric bone mineral density in individuals with osteoporotic fractures: a retrospective study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) remains complex and heterogeneous, specifically between the genders. This study aimed to explore the association between diabetes status and trochanteric BMD in a cohort of patients with OPFs and elucidate the differences between male and female patients.
Methods: This retrospective analysis was performed on 710 admitted patients aged 50 years or older with OPFs.
P2Y Inhibition Modifies the Anabolic Response to Exercise in Adult Mice.

As the aging population continues to grow, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures increases and is compounded by our lack of therapeutic strategies that increase bone formation. Although exercise and physical activity play a key role in maintaining bone mass throughout our lives, the loads and exertion required to elicit an anabolic response becomes exceedingly difficult to achieve with age. Based on previous work, the P2Y receptor offers a unique therapeutic target to increasing bone mass by modifying the mechanotransduction.

Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Recently researches have reported that miRNA and its target genes are associated with osteoporosis. MiRNA and mRNA might be potential diagnostic markers for osteoporosis.
Purposes: The aim of this study is to explore the potential miRNA and mRNA markers by bioinformatics method and clinical analysis.

Unlabelled: The FRAX® algorithm showed good accuracy in women living with DM followed in primary care. There were no differences between the ROC curve with and without adjustments for major and hip fractures. The FRAX® 10-year and FRAX® AR were better calibrated in this population.

Vertebral collapse (VC) following osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) often requires aggressive treatment, necessitating an accurate prediction for early intervention. This study aimed to develop a predictive model leveraging deep neural networks to predict VC progression after OVCF using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical data. Among 245 enrolled patients with acute OVCF, data from 200 patients were used for the development dataset, and data from 45 patients were used for the test dataset.
