Localisation of the Infraorbital and Mental Foramen in Orthognathic Surgery: a CBCT Study.
Chin J Dent Res
December 2024
Objective: To establish precise positional references for orthognathic surgery by examining the relative positioning of the infraorbital foramen (IOF) in relation to the anterior nasal spine (ANS) and the mental foramen (MF) in relation to the pogonion (Pog).
Methods: A cohort of 115 patients with CBCT images was randomly selected for analysis. Distances and positional relationships between the IOF and ANS, as well as the MF and Pog, were measured using 3D reconstruction images.
Guidelines for the correct use of the nomenclature of biochemical indices of bone status: a position statement of the Joint IOF Working Group and IFCC Committee on Bone Metabolism.

Department of Clinical Chemistry, CIRM, University of Liège, CHU de Liège, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- - The guidelines update the International Osteoporosis Foundation's (IOF) 20-year-old position paper on bone markers, reflecting advancements in bone biology and disorders.
- - The authors introduce a new classification called Bone Status Indices (BSI) to replace outdated terms like bone turnover markers and metabolic markers for better clarity.
- - The proposal includes standardized nomenclature, abbreviations, and measurement units for these indices to ensure consistency in the study and treatment of bone health.
Race-specific FRAX models are evidence-based and support equitable care: a response to the ASBMR Task Force report on Clinical Algorithms for Fracture Risk.

Article Synopsis
- * The authors advocate for keeping ethnic and race-specific FRAX models in the US, suggesting they should be based on updated data related to fracture and death risks.
- * The position opposing fixed bone mineral density thresholds is supported by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO), emphasizing the need for equity in fracture risk assessment.
Radiofrequency echographic multi spectrometry (REMS) in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis: state of the art.
Aging Clin Exp Res
June 2024
Metabolic Bone Diseases Unit, Department of Surgery and Translational Medicine, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS) is a radiation-free, portable technology, which can be used for the assessment and monitoring of osteoporosis at the lumbar spine and femoral neck and may facilitate wider access to axial BMD measurement compared with standard dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).There is a growing literature demonstrating a strong correlation between DXA and REMS measures of BMD and further work supporting 5-year prediction of fracture using the REMS Fragility Score, which provides a measure of bone quality (in addition to the quantitative measure of BMD).The non-ionising radiation emitted by REMS allows it to be used in previously underserved populations including pregnant women and children and may facilitate more frequent measurement of BMD.
