Clinical, Journal: Systemic drug photosensitivity - culprits, impact and investigation in 122 patients. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2021 Classically described photosensitizing drugs such as thiazides and quinine remain common offenders, while emerging culprits include biologics such as TNF-a inhibitors and proton-pump-inhibitors. There is very large impact on life quality; identification facilitates measures including drug cessation and implementation of appropriate photoprotection.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Osteoporosis treatment in patients undergoing spinal fusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2021 In addition, they show that teriparatide may have superior benefits in spinal fusion during long-term monitoring as compared to those with bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates may be better suited in preventing VCFs postoperatively in addition to minimizing postoperative disability and pain.

Journal: Antimicrobial peptide gene expression in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2021 Bisphosphonates and denosumab are commonly used antiresorptive therapies in patients with bone metastasis and osteoporosis...This finding is similar to previously described upregulated expression of human defensins in patients with MRONJ after bisphosphonates treatment. This suggests that the elevated expression of defensins may be at least a part of the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis induced by antiresorptive therapies, which can serve as a new target for potential treatment of MRONJ.

Preclinical, Journal: Treatment of osteoporosis with a modified zeolite shows beneficial effects in an osteoporotic rat model and a human clinical trial. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 23, 2021 To the contrary, long-term use of anti-osteoporotic drugs such as bisphosphonates and Denosumab, an RANKL inhibitor, have resulted in adverse events...Furthermore, patients treated with PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite showed an increase in bone mineral density, an elevated level of markers indicative of bone formation, a significant reduction in pain, and significantly improved quality of life compared with patients in the control (placebo) group. These encouraging positive effects of PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite on bone integrity and on osteoporosis warrant further evaluation of treatment with PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite as a new alternative adjuvant therapy for osteoporosis.

The updated economic evidence could help decision makers prioritize health interventions and the unmet/unreported quality issues indicated by the osteoporosis-specific guideline could be useful in improving the transparency, quality, and comparability of future economic evaluations in osteoporosis.

Journal: Osteoclasts recycle via osteomorphs during RANKL-stimulated bone resorption. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 16, 2021 Furthermore, genetic variation in human orthologs of osteomorph genes causes monogenic skeletal disorders and associates with bone mineral density, a polygenetic skeletal trait. Thus, osteoclasts recycle via osteomorphs, a cell type involved in the regulation of bone resorption that may be targeted for the treatment of skeletal diseases.

Clinical, Journal: Antiresorptive treatment and talar collapse after displaced fractures of the talar neck: a long-term follow-up of 19 patients. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 16, 2021 Among these, 6 patients with Hawkins type 3 fractures and 2 patients with Hawkins type 2b fractures received postoperative antiresorptive treatment (7 alendronate, 1 denosumab) for 6 to 12 months...The self-reported foot and ankle score (SEFAS) was available in all patients and 15 patients had undergone computed tomography (CT) at final follow-up, which allowed evaluation of structural collapse of the talar dome and signs of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.Results - The risk for partial collapse of the talar dome was equal in the 2 groups (3 in each group) and post-traumatic arthritis was observed in all patients. The SEFAS in patients with antiresorptive treatment was lower, at 21 points (95% CI 15-26), compared with those without treatment, 29 points (CI 22-35).Interpretation - Following a displaced fracture of the talar neck, we found no effect of antiresorptive therapy on the rate of talar collapse, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, and patient-reported outcomes.
