Review, Journal: Preventing osteolytic lesions and osteomyelitis in multiple myeloma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2022 Antibiotics and surgical interventions have been used to manage bone infections in most reported cases. As the bone infection risk associated with MM bone lesions become more evident, there is scope to improve patient management by mitigating this risk with prophylactic antimicrobial therapy.

Journal: Romosozumab efficacy and safety in European patients enrolled in the FRAME trial. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 16, 2022 P3 TBS seemed more responsive to denosumab treatment than TBS and was independent of BMD. Among European patients in FRAME, romosozumab resulted in early and sustained risk reduction for all major fracture categories, associated with large BMD gains that continued after transition to denosumab.

Journal: Teriparatide Followed by Denosumab in Premenopausal Idiopathic Osteoporosis: Bone Microstructure and Strength by HR-pQCT. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 8, 2022 After 48M of sequential treatment, significant increases in total vBMD (tibia: p<0.001; radius: p=0.01), trabecular microstructure (p<0.05), cortical thickness (tibia: p<0.001; radius: p=0.02), and whole bone strength (p<0.02) were seen at both sites. Significant increases in total vBMD and bone strength parameters after sequential treatment with teriparatide followed by denosumab support the use of this regimen in PreMenIOP.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 8, 2022 When used according to the instructions, the risk of ONJ caused by denosumab was higher than that of zoledronic acid, regardless of the indication. Based on these findings, researchers will continue to monitor and identify risk factors.

Journal: Osteonecrosis of the jaw among cancer patients in Denmark: risk and prognosis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 8, 2022 There were 126 deaths among cancer patients with ONJ over a maximum follow-up time of 6.4 years, resulting in a 5-year mortality of 91% (95% confidence interval 81-97%). Mortality among patients with ONJ varied by cancer site, osteonecrosis stage, and by history of trauma to the mucosa.

Further understanding of the molecular effects of RANK/RANKL in MM should help to optimize treatment combinations to reduce bone disease and target the malignant cells effectively, in order to provide more effective treatments to this deadly disease.

Review, Journal: Bone health in functional hypothalamic amenorrhea: What the endocrinologist needs to know.

A timely screening for bone complications and a multidisciplinary, customized approach aiming to restore energy balance, ensure adequate protein, calcium and vitamin D intake, and reverse the detrimental metabolic-endocrine changes typical of this condition, should be the preferred approach until further studies are available.

Review, Journal: Hypercalcemia: A Review. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 1, 2022 Additional causes of hypercalcemia include granulomatous disease such as sarcoidosis, endocrinopathies such as thyroid disease, immobilization, genetic disorders, and medications such as thiazide diuretics and supplements such as calcium, vitamin D, or vitamin A. Hypercalcemia has been associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 protein inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, denosumab discontinuation, SARS-CoV-2, ketogenic diets, and extreme exercise, but these account for less than 1% of causes...Initial therapy of symptomatic or severe hypercalcemia consists of hydration and intravenous bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid or pamidronate...Mild hypercalcemia is typically asymptomatic, while severe hypercalcemia is associated with nausea, vomiting, dehydration, confusion, somnolence, and coma. Asymptomatic hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism is managed with parathyroidectomy or observation with monitoring, while severe hypercalcemia is typically treated with hydration and intravenous bisphosphonates.

Journal: Withdrawal of Denosumab in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Follow-up Report of the DENOCINA-Study. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2022 Asymptomatic hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism is managed with parathyroidectomy or observation with monitoring, while severe hypercalcemia is typically treated with hydration and intravenous bisphosphonates. Evidence suggests that it is possible to at least maintain BMD, and thus potentially lower fracture risk by a short course of denosumab followed by antiresorptive therapy where applicable in patients with PHPT.

Lastly, we present specific treatments acting on CKD to prevent and treat the complications associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT): control of hyperphosphatemia (with dietary restriction, intestinal phosphate binders, and adequate dialysis), the use of calcimimetic agents, vitamin D, and analogues, and the use of bisphosphonates or denosumab in patients with osteoporosis.

In addition, we propose a long-term management plan for β-TM -associated osteoporosis aiming at the optimal patient care for this special population.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 26, 2022 Since the local re-recurrence rate after re-curettage for local recurrence was low, and the joint preservation rate and affected limb function were good, preoperative denosumab administration may be considered in patients who require downstaging to maintain good limb function (joint preservation). The use of denosumab in unresectable ABCs can cause calcification and devascularization, making safe resection more likely.
