Preclinical, Journal: RANKL-mediated osteoclast formation is required for bone loss in a murine model of Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 14, 2024 Mice were treated with vehicle or denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits RANKL, both before and during a 14-day infection period...Lastly, there was a notable lack of osteoblasts near the infection site suggesting that the normal coupling of bone formation to bone resorption was disrupted by S. aureus infection. These results demonstrate that RANKL-mediated osteoclast formation is required for the bone loss that occurs in S. aureus infection and suggest that disruption of the coupling of bone formation to bone resorption may also contribute to bone loss in this condition.

Biomarker, Journal, PARP Biomarker: ELF4 was a prognostic biomarker and related to immune infiltrates in glioma. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 12, 2024 Genomic analysis revealed that, in LGG, in the low ELF4 expression subgroup, IDH1 demonstrated a higher mutation rate, and TP53 and ATRX Chromatin Remodeler (ATRX) displayed the lower mutation rates, than the high ELF4 expression group. Our research suggests that ELF4 may contribute to the prognostic assessment of glioma and personalized medicine.

Utilization of Denosumab versus Bisphosphonate Therapy in the Pediatric Population (216_Level 2_South; In Person Only) - Aug 9, 2024 - Abstract #ACSCLINCON2024ACS_CLINCON_2079; Additionally, patients taking denosumab had higher rates of hypercalcemia and severe bone pain. While invasive dental procedures should ideally be avoided during bisphosphonate treatment, our evidence suggests that bisphosphonates may be utilized safely in the pediatric population.
