To investigate bone mineral densitometry findings in patients with normocalciuric urinary system stone disease, we compared 150 patients with normocalciuric calcium stone disease (group 1) and 60 subjects of a control group (group 2). The patients were compared according to bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA), bone mineral density (BMD), T-score and Z-score values of femur neck, total femur and lumbar spine (L2-L4) by dual energy absorptiometry. We found that 76.6% of the patients in group 1 and 20.0% in group 2 had low BMD; 11.3% of patients in group 1 had osteoporosis and 65.4% had osteopenia. In the control group, there was no osteoporosis, but 20.0% of the subjects had osteopenia. In group 1, there was hyperoxaluria in 26.0% of patients, hypocitraturia in 15.3% of patients, hyperuricosuria in 6.0% of patients, both hypocitraturia and hyperoxaluria in 8.6% of patients in a 24-h urine analysis. Urine analysis was normal in 44.0% of patients. Our results showed a severe loss of bone mass in patients with urinary system normocalciuric calcium stone disease. Thus, the necessary precautions concerning bone mass protection should be taken and the patients should be informed about this issue.

Aerobic exercise prevents renal osteodystrophy via irisin-activated osteoblasts.

Renal osteodystrophy is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to disrupted mineral homeostasis. Given the impaired renal function in these patients, common anti-resorptive agents, including bisphosphonates, must be used with caution or even contraindicated. Therefore, an alternative therapy without renal burden to combat renal osteodystrophy is urgently needed.

Unlabelled: In very preterm-born infants, nutritional intake is important to reduce the risk of severe metabolic bone disease including the risk of a lower bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral content (BMC) and BMD (measured as BMC per bone area (BA)) at six years of age in very preterm-born infants fed different diets post-discharge. Data on this topic so far is insufficient, and with this study we aim to supply more useful data.

Center of Prevention and Rehabilitation, UniReha, University of Cologne, Medical Faculty and University Hospital, Cologne, Germany.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term bone development in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using longitudinal measurements of total body less head bone mineral content (TBLH-BMC) and bone mineral density (TBLH-BMD).
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal analysis was performed on 109 children with CP who participated in a rehabilitation programme from 2006 to 2018. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were performed at the beginning of the programme and repeated as clinically indicated.
Construction and validation of a prediction model for fall risk in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.

Department of Intervention, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, Nantong, China.
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk factors in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.
Methods: A total of 615 older adults with osteoporosis hospitalized at a tertiary (grade 3A) hospital in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China, between September 2022 and August 2023 were selected for the study using convenience sampling. Fall risk factors were identified using univariate and logistic regression analyses, and a predictive risk model was constructed and visualized through a nomogram.
Purpose: Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction graft failure remains a significant health concern in young patients. Despite the high incidence of poor graft integration in these patients and the resulting high failure rate, little consideration has been given to the quality of the bone into which the graft is anchored at reconstruction. Therefore, we investigated post ACL injury mineralized tissue changes in the ACL femoral entheses of young males and compared them to changes previously reported for young females.
