The cost-effectiveness of osteoporosis medications for preventing periprosthetic fractures following femoral neck fracture indicated hip arthroplasty: a break-even analysis
ConclusionThe utilization of lower cost osteoporosis medications such as oral bisphosphonates and estrogen hormonal therapy as PPF prophylaxis in this patient population would be economically viable if they reduce the PPF rate by 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively. For IV bisphosphonates and newer agents to be economically viable as PPF prophylaxis in the USA, their costs need to be significantly reduced. (Source: Osteoporosis International)

Delayed and significant hypercalcaemia due to teriparatide therapy: a case report and review
We report the case of a female who developed significant delayed hypercalcaemia after teriparatide treatment for osteoporosis and review other cases in the literature to date.Case reportA 72-year-old female on teriparatide for the treatment of osteoporosis was found to have hypercalcaemia (3.30 mmol/l) on routine testing approximately 3 months after starting therapy. Serum calcium pretreatment was normal at 2.39 mmol/l. She was admitted to the hospital for investigations which identified a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D of 94 nmol/l, a low parathyroid hormone of 6.0 pg/ml, and normal test results for 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (11...

GSE248774 Immune modulation with RANKL-blockade through denosumab treatment in cancer patients
We examined whether administering denosumab could modify modulate circulating immune cells in c ancer patients. Blood was collected from 23 prostate cancer patients and 3 renal cell carcinoma patients, who provided written informed consent, with advanced disease who were receiving denosumab, prior to and during denosumab treatment. Using high-dimensional mass cytometry, we found that denosumab treatment by itself induced modest effects on circulating immune cell frequency and activation. We also found minimal changes in the circulating T cell repertoire and the frequency of new thymic emigrants with denosumab treatment. H...

Advanced renal cell carcinoma management: the Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group (LACOG) and the Latin American Renal Cancer Group (LARCG) consensus update
CONCLUSION: Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are the standards of care for advanced disease. The utilization and sequencing of these therapeutic agents hinge upon individual risk scores and responses to previous treatments. This consensus reflects a commitment to informed decision-making, drawn from professional expertise and evidence in the medical literature.PMID:38594593 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05663-z (Source: Cell Research)
