Background: The effect of anti-osteoporosis treatment in elderly patients with osteoporosis and lumbar discectomy and fusion (LIF) for lumbar degenerative diseases is not well known.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of perioperative anti-osteoporosis treatment in the patients with osteoporosis and LIF.
Methods: From January to December 2022, patients were divided into three groups according to the inclusive criteria: the normal group (Group A), the osteopenia group (Group B) and the osteoporosis group (Group C). Quantitative computed tomography (QCT), height of the intervertebral space (HIS), segmental sagittal angle (SSA), visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared between the groups at the follow-up time. The serum Ca2 + , osteocalcin (OC), propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) and 25-OH vitamin D (25-OH VD) levels were compared between the groups at the time of follow-up. Interbody fusion was graded on the X-ray and CT images at the follow-up time.
Results: There were 165 patients in this study. There were significant differences in the mean age, mean score, HIS and SSA between the groups at the different follow-up times. There were significant differences in the concentrations of serum Ca2 + , OC, β-CTX, 25-OH VD and PINP at the sixth month after surgery between the groups. There were significant differences in the concentrations of serum Ca2 + , β-CTX and 25-OH VD between the pre-surgery and at six months after surgery in Group B and β-CTX and 25-OH VD in Group C. There was a significant difference in the degree of fusion between Group B and C (χ2= 5.6243, P< 0.05).
Conclusion: In elderly patients with LIF and osteoporosis, anti-osteoporosis therapy could reduce bone resorption and thus facilitate fusion. Anti-osteoporosis medication tends to enhance radiological, functional, and fusion short-term outcomes.

Objective: Osteoporosis (OP) and urolithiasis (UL) are two metabolic diseases that are prevalent globally. Previous observational studies have found a relationship between these two diseases that increases the risk of each other, but whether there is a direct causal link is still unclear. Currently, research on the mechanisms of these two diseases mainly focuses on external factors such as diet and environment.

Objective: Recurrent cesarean deliveries are associated with intra-abdominal adhesions, and these adhesions affect maternal and neonatal morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of striae gravidarum (SG) and intra-abdominal adhesions detected during cesarean section (CS).
Material And Methods: In this prospective, case-control study, women undergoing a second CS were divided into three groups according to the severity of SG (group 1 - no SG; group 2 - mild SG; group 3 - moderate to severe SG).

: Vitamin D-crucial for bone health, immune function, and hormone regulation-is deficient worldwide, affecting around half the population, particularly women. The study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of vitamin D deficiency and hypovitaminosis D in non-pregnant women in Lebanon. Methods: A national cross-sectional survey sampled households across Lebanon, covering 2803 non-pregnant women aged 15 to 49.

It is true that vitamin D did not earn its title as the "sunshine vitamin" for nothing. In recent years, however, there has been a shift in the perception surrounding vitamin D to a type of hormone that boasts countless bioactivities and health advantages. Historically, vitamin D has been known to take care of skeletal integrity and the calcium-phosphorus balance in the body, but new scientific research displays a much larger spectrum of actions handled by this vitamin.

Background: Patients with end-stage chronic diseases, especially those undergoing hemodialysis (HD), often experience mineral bone disease (MBD), leading to hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH). Vitamin D deficiency and metabolism disorders are also common, resulting from impaired conversion of 25(OH)D3 to its active form, 1,25(OH)2D3, and reduced inactivation to 24,25(OH)2D3. This study aimed to assess the levels of 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and the vitamin D metabolism ratio (VMR) in patients with maintenance HD.
