Effects of anti-osteoporosis treatment in elderly patients with osteoporosis and lumbar discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSION: In elderly patients with LIF and osteoporosis, anti-osteoporosis therapy could reduce bone resorption and thus facilitate fusion. Anti-osteoporosis medication tends to enhance radiological, functional, and fusion short-term outcomes.PMID:38607748 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230381 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

Associations of Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms with Risks of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Prospective Study
CONCLUSIONS: Higher serum 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly associated with lower risks of total and subtypes of CVD incidence and mortality among individuals with CKD. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D status in the prevention of CVD and mortality in patients with CKD.PMID:38608754 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.001 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Modulatory interactions of T-2 and deoxynivalenol mycotoxins on murine femoral development and osteological integrity
In this study, we conducted a systematic assessment of the effectsof Deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 mycotoxins on the developmental processes and structural integrity of murine femurs, considering both the isolated and synergistic effects of these toxins. To this end, we divided 72 male mice into nine groups, each subjected to varying dosages of T-2, DON, or their combinations. Over a four-week experimental period, meticulous monitoring was undertaken regarding the mice's body weight, biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, and the activity of relevant cells. To comprehensively evaluate alterations in bone stru...

Ambient ultraviolet-B radiation, supplements and other factors interact to impact vitamin D status differently depending on ethnicity: a cross-sectional study
Many determinants of vitamin D status have been well-described, yet supplementation guidelines largely follow a one-size-for-all model and deficiency remains common. We hypothesised that accounting accurately for ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation and considering interactions could advance understanding of vitamin D status. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)
