Analysis of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios as inflammatory biomarkers in chronic kidney disease: impact of parathyroidectomy
CONCLUSION: N/L and P/L ratios are not reliable biomarkers of inflammation in SHPT patients undergoing PTX. Uremia, which induces a state of chronic inflammation in dialysis patients, and the use of immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients are some of the confounding factors that prevent the use of this tool in clinical practice.PMID:38591824 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0175en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)

Etidronate for the primary and secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women
CONCLUSIONS: This update echoes the key findings of our previous review that etidronate probably makes or may make little to no difference to vertebral and non-vertebral fractures for both primary and secondary prevention.PMID:38591743 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD003376.pub4 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Short-term effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or gastric sleeve on bone mineral density and calciotropic hormones: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Surg Obes Relat Dis. 2024 Mar 12:S1550-7289(24)00114-X. doi: 10.1016/j.soard.2024.03.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastric sleeve (GS) have been associated with significant reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) and fluctuations in serum levels of calciotropic hormones. These changes pose a risk to bone health. The study assessed the short-term (12 and 24 months) effects of RYGB and GS on BMD and calciotropic hormones. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Analyses considered follow-up (12 and 24 months) with BMD as main outcome at three sites (femoral neck...

Revisiting the association between vitamin D deficiency and active tuberculosis: A prospective case-control study in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: VDD is an independent risk factor for incident active TB. Future randomized trials examining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on TB incidence should focus on people with a low BMI or other risk factors to maximize the statistical power.PMID:38594108 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.03.005 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)
