Summary: This study aimed to assess morbidity and mortality associated with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). A large population-based retrospective study found that patients with PHPT had increased risk of death and various clinical diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, renal stones, and osteoporosis. These risks were independent of serum vitamin D concentration.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of limited, subtotal, and total parathyroidectomy for end-stage renal disease-related hyperparathyroidism, and found that subtotal parathyroidectomy is the optimal strategy. It suggests a shift towards a less aggressive and patient-tailored approach in parathyroid surgery in the changing landscape of kidney transplantation availability and improved dialysis regimens.

Summary: This study found that vitamin D insufficiency and severe deficiency are associated with increased mortality in patients with hip fracture, but this association was not statistically significant after adjusting for potential confounders. Further research is needed to understand the role of vitamin D deficiency in this population.

Summary: This study found that vitamin D deficiency is common in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. However, there was no significant association between vitamin D deficiency and post-operative outcome. Other factors such as comorbidities, functional status, and post-operative complications may be the main determinants of post-operative prognosis.

Summary: Evocalcet, a novel calcimimetic agent, has less gastrointestinal adverse effects compared to cinacalcet. In this study using miniature pigs, it was found that cinacalcet induced vomiting while evocalcet did not, and cinacalcet significantly increased vagus nerve action potentials compared to evocalcet. However, the increase in vagus nerve action potentials after administration of evocalcet was not significantly different from that after cinacalcet treatment.

Summary: Among a diverse cohort of community-dwelling older adults, a lower VMR was more strongly associated with both loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk compared with 25(OH)D-3. Further trials are needed to evaluate the VMR as a therapeutic target in individuals at risk for worsening BMD and fracture.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of calcimimetic evocalcet (Evo) on the expression of parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and vitamin D receptor (VDR). The results showed that Evo and cinacalcet (Cina) can increase the expression of CaSR and VDR in uremic rats with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). The upregulation of these receptors may provide better control of mineral and bone disorder markers.

Summary: It has been found that the expression of calcium and vitamin D receptors is reduced during hemodialysis. However, treatment with calcimimetic evocalcet (Evo) can enhance the expression of these receptors in hemodialysis patients, which contributes to better control of mineral and bone disorder markers.

Summary: Calcium and phosphate play crucial roles in physiological processes, while calcitriol acts as a positive regulator of mineralization and calcium and phosphate metabolism. The synthesis of calcitriol involves a multi-step process, primarily regulated by CYP27B1 and CYP24A1, with expression influenced by various hormones.

Summary: The meta-analysis revealed a significant impact of perioperative COVID-19 infections on mortality among hip fracture patients, with the odds ratio for mortality in patients infected with COVID-19 perioperatively being as high as 6.70. The study suggests that perioperative COVID-19 infections lead to a significantly increased risk of mortality in hip fracture patients.

Summary: In Denmark, cardiovascular disease and pneumonia were found to be the leading medical causes of death in hip fracture patients who died within 30 days. Younger female patients, especially those under 50, were more susceptible to potentially preventable causes of death such as urinary tract infections. Pulmonary embolism, though accounting for a small percentage, may be underreported in Danish death certificates.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between P-Albumin and 30-day mortality in hip fracture patients. Based on a database of hip fracture patients at Bispebjerg University Hospital, the study found that lower levels of P-Albumin were associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality. The results suggest that routine screening for hypoalbuminemia may be beneficial in the management of hip fracture patients.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in parturient women, their partners, and newborns, and the association with obstetric and neonatal outcomes. No association was found between SARS-CoV-2 infection and obstetric or neonatal complications, but some newborns born to mothers with antibodies had SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies at birth. The study was limited by a lack of statistical power to detect small but potentially meaningful differences between those with and without evidence of infection.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes and complications of Ilioinguinal versus modified Stoppa approach in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of anterior column acetabulum fractures. The results show that the modified Stoppa approach has a shorter operative time, less intra-operative blood loss, and fewer complications. The ilioinguinal approach achieves better anatomic reduction. However, there were no significant differences in terms of vascular lesions, clinical and functional outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study aims to investigate dental traumatic injuries related to standing electric scooters and compare them with injuries caused by other factors. The results indicate that crown-root fractures and avulsions are more common in electric scooter accidents. Additionally, relatively minor dental injuries, such as concussions and subluxations, are more likely to occur as combined injuries in electric scooter accidents. The study suggests the need for strengthened policies and enforcement of laws to prevent severe dental and craniofacial trauma associated with electric scooter use.

Summary: This study discussed the role of fracture site tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks on post-injury adaptation (PIA) promoting bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and migration. The results confirmed that PIA accelerated BMSCs proliferation and migration, and identified tissue exosomes as the key factor in this process. By analyzing the tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks, several hub genes, such as Akt1, Actb, and Uba52, were identified, and Kif11 was found to be a key gene in BMSCs regulated by tissue-derived exosomes of PIA treated rats.

Summary: A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to compare outcomes for patients with recently diagnosed COVID-19 infection and those without COVID-19 infection undergoing operative treatment of hip fractures. The results showed that COVID-19-positive patients had a higher risk of 30-day mortality, pneumonia, unplanned intubation, septic shock, longer length of hospital stay, and discharge to an acute care hospital. Active COVID-19 infection is an independent risk factor for complications and increased resource utilization in these patients.

Summary: Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by intense contraction of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy). The risk of injuries to the skin and Achilles tendon around the calcaneal tuberosity is closely related to the Lee classification and Carnero-Martin de Soto Classification of this type of fracture. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through X-ray, digital imaging, and CT, but MRI should also be used to assess the soft tissue. Recent advances in understanding this fracture have led to the development of different internal fixation devices and surgical procedures that provide stable fracture reduction and resistance to Achilles tendon forces. This article reviews the new insights into the anatomy, classification, risk factors, and treatment modalities of calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture in recent years.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of compression screw and non-weight-bearing techniques in treating pediatric Jones fractures. The results showed that compared to non-weight-bearing techniques, compression screw fixation can shorten the radiographic union time, immobilization time, and facilitate earlier return to full weight bearing and daily life. We recommend the use of compression screw fixation for widely displaced fractures and school-age active adolescents.
