Editorial Commentary: Postoperative Zoledronic Acid Improves Tendon Healing but Does Not Affect Outcomes in Rotator Cuff Repair Patients With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Understanding the preoperative risk factors for successful rotator cuff repair (RCR) and ways to optimize these factors is an evolving area of study. The Rotator Cuff Healing Index and other proxy risk factors for failed rotator cuff healing have implicated significant fatty infiltration, muscular atrophy, advanced chronological age, tear size and retraction, and ultimately, osteoporosis. Although structural (or biological) augmentation and tendon transfer have been proposed as solutions for the alarmingly high rate of failure after primary RCR, other options may preferentially focus on the enthesis and underlying osseous ...

An in  vitro study on the effects of photobiomodulation by diode lasers (red, infrared, and red–infrared combination) on periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells treated with bisphosphonates
In conclusion, it seems that PBMT can modulate the effects of ZA by inducing PDLSC proliferation and increasing RANKL-to-OPG gene expression ratio. (Source: Photochemistry and Photobiology)

Bone mineral density fall during aromatase inhibitor treatment may predict lower breast cancer recurrence
ConclusionsThe findings suggest an association may exist between lumbar spine BMD change and breast cancer recurrence for patients treated with adjuvant AI. Further research is required to determine whether BMD change can be utilised as a biomarker. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Efficacy and safety of denosumab versus zoledronic acid in OI adults: A prospective, open-label, randomized study
CONCLUSION: Denosumab effectively increases aBMD in OI adults, with similar efficacy to zoledronic acid. Long-term and large-sample studies are needed to confirm the anti-fracture efficacy and safety of denosumab in adult OI patients.PMID:38181430 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae012 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

A Comparison of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in Detecting Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in a Patient With Prostate Cancer
We present ONJ detected in a 65-year-old man with prostate cancer who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for metabolic characterization and to exclude a second primary malignancy of the liver lesion observed in 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. ONJ has high metabolic activity on 18F-FDG PET/CT and no PSMA receptor activation on the 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. In this case, we wanted to underline the importance of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging of medication-related ONJ in patients receiving zoledronic acid therapy and to emphasize that rapid and appropriate treatment can be provided.PMID:38170920 | DOI:10.1097/RLU.0000000000004970 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Occurrence of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis - a systematic review

Effect of bisphosphonates and statins on the in vitro radiosensitivity of breast cancer cell lines
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that pretreatment with ZOPRA can decrease the radioresistance of breast cancer cells at the molecular and cellular levels. The fact that ZOPRA was previously shown to radioprotect normal tissues, makes it a good candidate to become a therapeutic window-widening drug.PMID:38151641 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-023-00560-7 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)
