This study involved 78 participants taking 150 mg of Ibandronate once a month for the investigation of the drug efficacy and safety. Ibandronate had a strong antiresorptive action that decreased 67.9 per cent of bone resorption. The total cases of unwanted effect were 21 that showed the common adverse events like other bisphosphonate. The most common events were flu-like symptom (8.75%) and dyspepsia (7.5%) which occurred at the first tablet. Most participants subsided after the following months, but only one case persisted in these symptoms through the study period while the others had a myalgia, diarrhea and burning of epigastric in percent of 6.25, 2.5, 1.25 respectively. Ibandronate (150 mg) showed the strong antiresorptive effect and good compliance for taking once a month.

Background Fragility fractures, often caused by osteoporosis, are a major public health concern among the growing population of the United Kingdom (UK). In addition to being a major source of illness and mortality, the rising incidence of osteoporosis places a heavy strain on healthcare systems if it is not adequately managed. In order to lower the risk of additional fractures, current guidelines place a strong emphasis on the timely evaluation and treatment of fragility fractures.

Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication associated with the use of antiresorptive agents, impacting patient quality of life and treatment outcomes. Predictive modeling may aid in a better understanding of MRONJ development.
Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate machine learning (ML)-based models for predicting MRONJ in patients receiving antiresorptive therapy.

Loganin, a major iridoid glycoside derived from , exerts strong anti-inflammatory property. The present study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of loganin to reduce estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss through a combination of network pharmacology, molecular docking and validation. First, the drug targets and structural interactions of loganin with osteoclasts on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) were predicted through network pharmacology and molecular docking.

Background And Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and painful joint destruction. Current treatments are helpful in RA remission, but strong immunosuppressive activity and patient resistance are clinical issues. This study explores a dual-action inhibitor, possessing both anti-inflammatory and anti-resorptive properties, as a novel treatment for RA.
