Effect of Pelvic External Beam Radiation Therapy on Bone Mineral Density: A Secondary Analysis of a Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: We did not find sufficient evidence to suggest any detrimental impact of pelvic XRT on the treatment effect from denosumab on percent BMD change with only about 5% incidence of clinical fractures.PMID:37924987 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.10.046 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Denosumab and Mortality in a real ‐world setting – A Comparative Study
This study examined the association between Dmab and all-cause mortality compared to no treatment in subjects with a fracture and BPs in subjects without a fracture. The study population was from The Sax Institute's 45 and Up Study (n=  267,357), a prospective population-based cohort with questionnaire data linked to hospital admissions1, medication records2 and stored securely3.The new-user cohort design with propensity-score (PS) matching was implemented.In the Fracture cohort, Dmab and oral BP users were matched 1:2 to no treatment (Dmab: 617 women, 154 men, and oral BPs: 615 women, 266 men).In the No-fracture cohort,...

Micropetrosis: Osteocyte Lacunar Mineralization in Aging and Disease
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAs the importance of osteocytes for bone mineral homeostasis is increasingly recognized, there is growing interest in osteocyte cell death as a relevant indicator in various physiological and pathological conditions. Micropetrosis is an established term used to describe osteocyte lacunae that are filled with minerals following osteocyte death. While the early reports of micropetrosis were purely descriptive, there is now an increasing body of literature showing quantitative data on micropetrosis in various conditions such as aging, osteoporosis, immobilization, and diabetes, and in osteoporosis tre...

Indication and adverse event profiles of denosumab and zoledronic acid: based on U.S. FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS)
Conclusion: Our analysis of FAERS database provided postmarketing surveillance data and revealed different strengths of reported AE signals between Dmab and ZA in some of their common AEs. It’s also worth noting that both drugs have potential off-label applications, which could introduce new AEs. This highlights the necessity for safety monitoring when using Dmab and ZA off-label.

Influence of antiresorptive/antiangiogenic therapy on changes in periodontal and oral tissue structures: a histomorphometrical analysis in rats
ConclusionsThe present evaluation was not able to find any morphological effects of different antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications on periodontal and oral tissue structures. The presence of inflammatory cell infiltrates was more frequently observed in the animals administered with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications as well as combinations thereof.Clinical relevanceAdministration of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications may be capable of inducing inflammatory reactions in periodontal tissues.

Five-Year Outcomes of Continuous Zoledronic Acid vs. Denosumab Treatment in Older Men with High Fracture Risk: Effects on Bone Density Improvement and Risk Factor Analysis of Improvement of Bone Density and Incidence of New Fracture
This study investigated the treatment efficacy of these agents in older male patients with low a bone mass and history of fragility fracture. 175 male patients receiving continuous zoledronic acid treatment and 366 male patients receiving continuous denosumab treatment at our medical center between 2015 and 2020 were included and we analyzed the efficacy of treatment from the improvement in bone mineral density (BMD) and the new-onset low-energy fracture rate after 5 years of continuous medication from their data. BMD significantly improved after 5 years of medication, and higher than 90% patients were satisfied with their...
