The Association Between Tuberculosis and Osteoporosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, THA.
Recent research suggests that tuberculosis (TB) may pose a potential risk factor for osteoporosis, although the available evidence remains limited. This study aimed to comprehensively assess osteoporosis risk in TB patients through systematic review and meta-analysis methodology. Two investigators independently conducted a literature search using the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE) databases up to April 2024.

Department of Neurosurgery, Fukuoka University, Fukuoka, JPN.
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) commonly occur at the thoracolumbar junction, and delayed neurological deficits are rare. Here, a 76-year-old female presented with low back pain and the late onset of symptoms characterized by lumbar radiculopathy. She had been suffering from lower back pain for four weeks and developed lumbar radiculopathy in the left L3 area.

Health and Counseling Center, Osaka University.
Background: Several studies reported an association between the number of teeth and the incidence of hip fractures in observational studies, mainly in middle-aged adults. This retrospective cohort study aimed to clarify the association between the number of teeth and the incidence of hip fractures.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 256,772 participants aged 75 years or older who underwent public dental checkups in Japan were evaluated.
Proxy-reported outcomes accurately reflect objective patient-reported outcomes in older adult patients with traumatic orthopaedic injuries.

January 2025
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Older adults make up an increasing portion of orthopedic trauma care. Proxy reports are particularly valuable when patients face difficulties formulating answers due to pre-existing or temporary cognitive impairment, and provide critical insights into patient well-being.
Questions/purposes: This study examines the agreement between patient- and proxy-reported outcome measures across various health domains of older adult orthopedic trauma patients, including those with mild cognitive impairment.
Failure modes and interaction mechanisms of tunnel under active landslide conditions.
Sci Rep
January 2025
China Academy of Railway Sciences Co. Ltd, Beijing, 100081, China.
The construction of tunnels can easily trigger the reactivation of old landslide bodies, posing a threat to the transportation safety. In this study, using methods such as engineering geological investigation, slope deformation monitoring, deep displacement monitoring, and numerical simulation, the interaction between landslides and tunnels was investigated from the perspective of landslide deformation and failure characteristics. The Walibie Tunnel (WLBT) of Shangri-La to Lijiang (XL) expressway was taken as an example.
