Active Vitamin D Use and Fractures in Hemodialysis Patients: Results from the International DOPPS
ABSTRACTActive vitamin D is commonly used to control secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients, but it is unknown whether active vitamin D directly improves bone strength, independently of its ability to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH). We analyzed the association between the prescription of active vitamin D and incidence of any fracture and hip fracture in 41,677 in-center hemodialysis patients from 21 countries in phases 3 to 6 (2005 to 2018) of the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS). We used Cox regression, adjusted for PTH and other potential confounders, and used a per-protocol approach ...

Cannabidiol and Cannabigerol, Nonpsychotropic Cannabinoids, as Analgesics that Effectively Manage Bone Fracture Pain and Promote Healing in Mice
ABSTRACTBone fractures are among the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries, and pain management is an essential part of fracture treatment. Fractures heal through an early inflammatory phase, followed by repair and remodeling. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not recommended for fracture pain control as they potently inhibit the inflammatory phase and, thus, impair the healing. Opioids do not provide a better alternative for several reasons, including abuse potential. Accordingly, there is an unmet clinical need for analgesics that effectively ameliorate postfracture pain without impeding the healing. He...

Towards improved identification of vertebral fractures in routine CT scans: development and external validation of a machine learning algorithm
Vertebral fractures are the landmark of osteoporosis and are associated with increased risk of further fractures. Yet they commonly go undiagnosed, and the underlying osteoporosis untreated. We developed a machine learning algorithm for automated vertebral fracture detection and demonstrated strong performance on an external validation set of 2,000 CT scans. This method can improve the identification and reporting of vertebral fractures by opportunistically screening for them in routine CT scans. ABSTRACTVertebral fractures (VFs) are the hallmark of osteoporosis, being one of the most frequent types of fragility fracture a...

Electrocardiogram Changes Following Intravenous Bisphosphonate Infusion: A Systematic Review and Meta ‐Analysis
ABSTRACTBisphosphonates are first-line treatments for several bone and mineral disorders. Studies have reported an increased incidence of serious atrial fibrillation in patients receiving bisphosphonates; however, uncertainty remains as to whether electrical disturbances are precipitated by bisphosphonates. We aimed to review the literature for studies reporting electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in patients receiving intravenous bisphosphonates for any indication. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception until January 14, 2023, for studies reporting ECG parameters after intravenous bisphosphonate infusion. We excluded ...
