Testosterone is a natural hormone which is an essential factor to maintain the physical and emotional well-being in men, regardless of age. Male hypogonadism is an endocrinal condition of testosterone deficiency with the potential to cause multiple physical complaints and psychosocial problems. The condition can be of primary (due to testicular injury), secondary (due to diseases of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland) or functional nature (due to comorbidities, such as inflammatory diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Fragility and insufficiency fractures of the pelvis (FFP) and sacrum (SIF) are increasingly prevalent, particularly among the elderly, due to weakened bone structure and low-energy trauma. Chronic instability from these fractures causes persistent pain, limited mobility, and significant reductions in quality of life. Hospitalization is often required, with substantial risks of loss of independence (64-89%) and high mortality rates (13-27%).

Objective: Sheehan syndrome (SS), or postpartum pituitary necrosis occurs due to reduced vascular supply following postpartum hemorrhage, often linked to coagulation abnormalities, and pituitary antibodies. A smaller sella turcica volume is a risk factor for SS, consequent to compressive effects on the pituitary stalk. Hypopituitarism in SS increases the risk of metabolic liver and bone diseases.

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of the microarchitecture, resulting in bone fragility and risk of fractures. As the life expectancy of the population increases, fragility fractures are expected to become more common. Indeed, the incidence rate for major fracture (hip, vertebra, pelvis, etc.

Vascular risk factors are associated with grey matter atrophy in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Eur J Neurol

January 2025

Queen Square Multiple Sclerosis Centre, Department of Neuroinflammation, UCL Institute of Neurology, Faculty of Brain Sciences, University College London, London, UK.

Background: Comorbidities including vascular risk factors can be associated with whole and regional brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS). This has been examined in mixed MS cohorts in prospective or observational studies; however, the association between vascular comorbidities (VCM) in secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and brain atrophy has been less well studied. The aim was to investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between VCM, comorbidity burden and brain atrophy in SPMS.

Issue Addressed: The growing prevalence of osteoporosis requires preventative management starting from an early age as peak bone mass is typically reached by age 30. However, current Australian adolescents are not adequately addressing key osteoprotective factors. Alarmingly, around 17% have insufficient vitamin D levels, 55% consume insufficient dietary calcium, and 79% are insufficiently active.

Effects of Synbiotic Supplementation on Bone and Metabolic Health in Caucasian Postmenopausal Women: Rationale and Design of the OsteoPreP Trial.

Nutrients

December 2024

Sahlgrenska Osteoporosis Centre, Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institute of Medicine, University of Gothenburg, 41345 Gothenburg, Sweden.

Background/objectives: Correction of decreased diversity of the gut microbiome, which is characteristic of menopause, by supplementation with a synbiotic may attenuate or prevent dysbiosis processes and preserve bone mass. We describe the rationale and design of the OsteoPreP trial aimed at evaluating the effects of 12 months of supplementation with a synbiotic on bone and metabolic health in postmenopausal Caucasian women.

Methods: This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial among 160 Caucasian, postmenopausal women with no current diagnosis of osteoporosis or supplementation with pro- or prebiotics, and no medical treatment affecting bone turnover.

Vertebral fractures (VFs) occasionally appear as the first manifestation of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in children. However, in adults, it is uncommon for VFs to lead to a diagnosis of ALL, and surgical intervention is even rarer. We encountered a case of a 42-year-old man with ALL who presented with acute severe back pain, lower limb numbness, dysuria, and hamstring weakness.

Background: As the number of programs aimed at preventing fragility fractures and mitigating the phenomenon of cascade fractures is increasing worldwide, so it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of such programs to seek their feasible implementation at regional and global levels.

Aims: This paper aims to provide an overview focusing on the incidence of secondary fractures after the implementation of any type of fracture liaison service (FLS). To this end, a scoping review was conducted focusing on the identification of clinical evidence reported in systematic reviews of the medical literature in this area.

Unlabelled: In Japan, the publication of the Fracture Liaison Service Clinical Standard (FLS-CS) had no apparent effect on the implementation of secondary fracture prevention, but the introduction of a new management fee for secondary fracture prevention significantly promoted the implementation of secondary fracture prevention for the target disease.

Background: Secondary fracture prevention is important for managing fragility fractures. In Japan, the FLS-CS was published in 2019, alongside the introduction of a new management fee for secondary fracture prevention, launched in 2022 for patients who underwent surgery for hip fracture.

Preventing subsequent fractures after vertebral augmentation is a critical clinical concern. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of romosozumab and bisphosphonate administration on the occurrence of subsequent vertebral fractures after balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) and to identify factors associated with the occurrence of subsequent vertebral fractures. The study compared 24 patients who underwent BKP and received romosozumab with 58 control patients who underwent BKP and received bisphosphonates, all within 2 months of acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture and showing unfavorable magnetic resonance imaging prognostic factors.

Denosumab is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) antibody that is used in the management of osteoporosis and various bone-related disorders to help strengthen bones and prevent fractures. Declining renal function and the drug denosumab are both associated with an increased risk of hypocalcaemia. The combination of both factors in a patient, along with the long half-life of the drug, can cause further exacerbation of this risk.

Background: The modified Dietary Inflammation Index Score (M-DIS) is a scoring system used to quantify the inflammatory effects of nutrients and foods. Inflammation may affect Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The purpose of this study was to utilize data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to evaluate the relationship between M-DIS and lumbar vertebrae BMD in patients with hypertension.

Article Synopsis
  • Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare condition impacting women postpartum, exemplified by a case of a 29-year-old with severe back pain due to vertebral fractures.
  • Diagnosis involves ruling out other causes of osteoporosis, with treatment typically including calcium and vitamin D supplements alongside lactation suppression; however, pain may persist even after treatment.
  • The condition remains poorly understood, with potential causes including genetic factors and calcium metabolism changes, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies for better patient outcomes.

Department of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine, Medical University of Vienna/Vienna General Hospital, Vienna, Austria.

Fragility fractures caused by osteoporosis, the most common metabolic bone disease, place a significant burden on affected individuals and impose substantial economic costs. A fragility fracture implies an imminent elevated risk for subsequent fractures, particularly in the short term. Therefore, osteoporosis must be addressed in the event of a sentinel fracture, if not already previously treated.
