Article Abstract

Management of osteoporosis in patients with alkaptonuria can be challenging. This is the first case report confirming the effectiveness of teriparatide following zoledronic acid therapy in treating osteoporosis and preventing fragility fractures in a patient with alkaptonuria.

Background: The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has shown promising potential for identifying individuals at risk for osteoporosis in various patient cohorts. However, data from the general population confirming or refuting the usefulness of the GNRI as a risk factor for osteoporosis are sparse. We therefore aimed to clarify whether the GNRI is associated with the ultrasound-based bone stiffness index and the osteoporotic fracture risk in a sample of elderly men and women from the general population.

Bovine milk is widely recognized as one of the most valuable sources of nutrients such as proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that support the development and health of the body. In recent years, there has been increasing scientific interest in exosomes, the small membrane-bound vesicles found in milk. Through their content (e.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have emerged as critical regulators of bone development and remodeling. In this study, we aimed to identify specific GPCR mutations in osteoporotic patients via next-generation sequencing (NGS). We performed NGS sequencing of six genomic DNA samples taken from osteoporotic patients and two genomic DNA samples from healthy donors.

Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share common risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms, raising concerns about the cardiovascular implications of sclerostin inhibition. Romosozumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets sclerostin, is effective in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) and reducing fracture risk. However, evidence suggests that sclerostin inhibition may adversely affect vascular calcification, potentially increasing the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic inflammatory bone disease characterized by reduced bone structure and strength, leading to increased fracture risk. Effective therapies targeting both bone and cartilage are limited. This study compared the therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), bisphosphonate (Aclasta), and human Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) in a rat model of OP.
