Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.

N Engl J Med

January 2025

From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).

Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.

Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.

Association Between Nail Type and Aseptic Revision Risk After Cephalomedullary Nailing for Hip Fracture.

J Bone Joint Surg Am

January 2025

Surgical Outcomes and Analysis Department, Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, California.

Background: Although the majority of intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the United States are now treated with cephalomedullary nailing, it remains uncertain whether differences in clinical performance by nail type exist. The purpose of this study was to compare the aseptic revision rates associated with the 3 most commonly utilized cephalomedullary nails in the United States today: the Gamma nail (Stryker), the INTERTAN (Smith+Nephew), and the Trochanteric Fixation Nail/Trochanteric Fixation Nail Advanced (TFN/TFNA; DePuy Synthes).

Methods: Using an integrated health-care system's hip fracture registry, patients ≥60 years of age who were treated with 1 of these 3 commonly used cephalomedullary nail devices were identified.

Therapeutic alliance during trauma focused treatment in adolescent and young adult patients with PTSD.

BMC Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Institute of Psychology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Varrentrappstr. 40-42, 60486, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Background: Greater therapeutic alliance has been associated with an improved treatment outcome in various clinical populations. However, there is a lack of evidence for this association in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in young patients. We therefore investigated the development of the therapeutic alliance during Developmentally adapted cognitive processing therapy (D-CPT) in adolescents and young adults with PTSD following abuse to answer the question whether there was a connection between the therapeutic alliance and symptom reduction.
