Background: As the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures increases, impacting the health of the aging population significantly, understanding the genetic link between chronic diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and osteoporosis (OP) is crucial. Despite existing research, the direct genetic relationship between these conditions remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: This study used a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach, drawing on the largest available genome-wide association studies.

Purpose: The evidence supports early and intensive mobilization and physical activity for patients who are hospitalized following hip fracture. The objectives were to determine levels of physical activity among patients hospitalized following hip fracture surgery, and to explore the association between levels of physical activity and 30-day post-discharge readmission, and mortality.
Materials And Methods: We collected data at two university hospitals in Denmark from March-June 2023.

Objective: To report clinical outcomes of skeletally immature dogs with antebrachial deformities secondary to premature closure of the distal radial physis (PCDRP) treated with angular corrections and distraction osteogenesis using circular external skeletal fixation (CESF).
Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional case series.
Animals: A total of 12 client-owned dogs with premature distal radial physeal closure.

Osteoporosis in men remains a significantly underrecognized condition, with notable differences in bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk between Asian and Western populations. Despite 30% of hip fractures globally occurring in men, they are less likely to be diagnosed or treated for osteoporosis, especially in resource-limited settings. Given these disparities, a deeper understanding of osteoporosis epidemiology and treatment efficacy in men is essential, particularly in Asian populations.

Objectives: Concerns about erythropoietin (EPO) therapy for anemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) contributing to potential bone loss and increased fracture risks are growing. This study investigated the impact of EPO administration on the risk of common osteoporotic fractures in ESRD patients.
Methods: This population-based retrospective cohort study compared EPO users and non-EPO users among ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, diagnosed with ESRD between 2000 and 2014 identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan.
