Inflammatory Claims About Inflammation
We all appreciate the elegance of simple solutions to complex problems. But we know too that simplicity can often masquerade as truth, hiding a more nuanced reality. Such is the case with inflammation, where pseudoscience, exaggerated claims, false promises, and dangerous oversimplification have dominated for too long. Here is a typical missive: "Inflammation controls our lives. Have you or a loved one dealt with pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, or cancer? If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammatio...

Infertility etiologies are genetically and clinically linked with other diseases in single meta-diseases
The present review aims to ascertain whether different infertility etiologies share particular genes and/or molecular pathways with other pathologies and are associated with distinct and particular risks of later-life morbidity and mortality. In order to reach this aim, we use two different sources of information: (1) a public web server named DiseaseConnect (http://disease-connect.org) focused on the analysis of common genes and molecular mechanisms shared by diseases by integrating comprehensive omics and literature data; and (2) a literature search directed to find clinical comorbid relationships of infertility etiologi...

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is associated with arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are the two most common diseases in postmenopausal women. The association between osteoporosis with carotid atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke has been well documented (Jorgensen, Engstad, & Jacobsen, 2001; Lampropoulos, Papaioannou, & D’Cruz, 2012; Shaffer et al., 2007; van der Klift et al., 2002). Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that osteoporosis is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality (Kado, Browner, Blackwell, Gore, & Cummings, 2000; Marcovitz et al., 2005).

Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio is associated with arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis (OP) and atherosclerosis are the two most common diseases in postmenopausal women. The association between OP with carotid atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke has been well documented (Jorgensen, Engstad, & Jacobsen, 2001; Lampropoulos, Papaioannou, & D’Cruz, 2012; Shaffer et al., 2007; van der Klift et al., 2002).

Risk Factors for Falls Among Seniors: Implications of Gender
Despite extensive literature on falls among seniors, little is known about gender-specific risk factors. To determine the prevalence of falls by gender and sociodemographic, lifestyle/behavioral, and medical factors, we conducted a cross-sectional study in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adults who were 65 years of age or older (n = 14,881) from the Canadian Community Health Survey–Healthy Aging (2008–2009). Logistic regression models were applied to investigate gender-specific associations between potential risk factors and falls. In men, stroke (odds ratio (OR) = 1.91), nutritional risk (OR = 1...

Nationwide time trends and risk factors for in‐hospital falls‐related major injuries
ConclusionsIn‐hospital falls‐related major injuries increased significantly during the study period. Elderly with dementia, osteoporosis, stroke, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Parkinson disease were associated with increased OR for in‐hospital fall‐related major injuries. Increased focus on patients with these comorbidities is warranted to decrease the increasing incidence in in‐hospital major injuries.

HRT increases ovarian cancer risk by small amount
Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that ovarian cancer risk was significantly increased in current HRT users, even in those with less than five years of HRT use (the average was three years). In ex-users, risks decreased the longer ago HRT use had stopped, but risks during the first few years after stopping remained significant. Furthermore, about a decade after stopping, long-duration hormone therapy use (average nine years of HRT use), there still seemed to be a small excess risk. The review has a few limitations, however. The main one is that the review was heavily influenced by just two of t...

Risk and adverse outcomes of fractures in patients with Parkinson’s disease: two nationwide studies
Conclusions PD was associated with higher risk of fracture. Patients with PD had more complications and mortality after fracture. Fracture prevention and attention to post-fracture adverse events are needed for this susceptible population.

Fractures are major cause of older women’s hospitalizations
(Reuters Health) - For U.S. women age 55 or older, bone fractures due to osteoporosis lead to more hospitalizations and greater healthcare costs than heart attack, stroke or breast cancer, according to a new study.

Increased risk of cardiovascular events in end-stage renal disease patients with osteoporosis: a nationwide population-based cohort study
Conclusions The results showed that osteoporosis was significantly associated with the subsequent risk of cardiovascular events in patients with ESRD. When encountering patients with ESRD and osteoporosis, physicians should be alert to the subsequent cardiovascular risk in incident dialysis patients to prevent the subsequent occurrence of these adverse events.
