Summary: This study investigated the changes of maternal bone resorption marker, urinary CTX, across pregnancy, the impact of gestational vitamin D supplementation, and the associations between CTX and maternal postnatal bone outcomes. The results showed that maternal CTX levels increased through pregnancy, with a lesser degree of increase in the cholecalciferol supplementation group, and higher CTX levels at 34 weeks of gestation were associated with lower maternal bone mass postpartum.

Summary: In patients discontinuing ALN after a median of 7.0 years, there was a significant decrease in bone mineral density and an increase in bone turnover markers over 2 years. An increase in p-CTX after 3 months was associated with greater bone loss at the hip, highlighting the importance of continued suppression of bone turnover for maintaining BMD during treatment discontinuation.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term efficacy of zoledronate (ZOL) in maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) after discontinuation of denosumab. Results showed that ZOL could maintain lumbar spine and hip BMD during the second year, but bone turnover still increased and bone loss occurred during the first year.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in bone mineral density and bone turnover markers after denosumab and romosozumab therapies in patients with osteoporosis. The results showed that the romosozumab group exhibited greater changes in lumbar BMD and bone turnover markers at 3 months of treatment, while changes in BMD of total hip and femoral neck were relatively delayed. From 6 to 12 months of treatment, romosozumab showed greater changes in bone mineral density and markers of bone turnover.

Summary: This narrative review summarizes data on classical and nonclassical manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The presentation of PHPT has shifted from predominantly symptomatic to asymptomatic, posing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Limited knowledge exists regarding the natural history and response to interventions of asymptomatic PHPT.

Summary: This study investigated the profile of serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) levels and their associations with bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers (BTMs), and prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in the Chinese population. The results showed that ucOC levels were higher in men than women and decreased with age until the age of 50, after which they increased. Higher ucOC levels were correlated with lower BMD values and higher levels of BTMs in both men and women. Furthermore, an increase in ucOC levels was associated with an increased risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis in both genders.

Summary: The study demonstrates that denosumab is effective in increasing bone mineral density in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis refractory to previous treatment. Additionally, denosumab shows potential in reducing bone turnover markers.

Summary: Early recognition of osteoporosis in children and adolescents is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Genetic and acquired pediatric bone disorders are common and cause significant morbidity. Recent progress has been made in understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying bone fragility and identifying acquired causes of osteoporosis in children.

Summary: Male osteoporosis is often underdiagnosed, leading to undertreatment and higher morbidity and mortality compared to female patients. Understanding the differences in bone health between genders is crucial for effective management and prevention of osteoporotic fractures in men.

Summary: Lumbar spine trabecular bone score (TBS) is a bone mineral density (BMD)-independent risk factor for fracture, but its sensitivity to technical factors and oral antiresorptive therapies is limited. This study analyzed TBS changes over time and in response to osteoporosis treatment, and found that TBS is strongly affected by technical factors and has little effect on monitoring response to antiresorptive treatment. Therefore, the current version of the TBS algorithm has limited usefulness in untreated individuals or routine clinical practice.

Summary: Bone turnover markers (BTM) are important for understanding the effect of anti-resorptives on osteoclast activity. Post-hoc trial data suggests that a 40% reduction in BTM may represent an appropriate response to therapy. However, applying this target threshold in individual patients is problematic due to measurement uncertainty and natural variation.

Summary: The monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been found to be associated with bone mineral density (BMD). Specifically, NLR is positively correlated with lumbar spine BMD, while PLR is negatively correlated with lumbar spine BMD.

Summary: Reduced food security is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes, with particularly strong association found between very low food security and cardiovascular disease risk. Policies and public health-based strategies are needed to address food insecurity and improve cardiovascular health outcomes among vulnerable subgroups.

Summary: Limited evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy may result in favorable cognitive development in the child. There was insufficient evidence to evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy and/or lactation on other developmental outcomes.

Summary: The Total Nutrient Index (TNI) is a useful construct for assessing total micronutrient exposures of underconsumed micronutrients among US adults. The study found that TNI scores were high on exemplary menus and moderately correlated with the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015. TNI scores differed significantly between different groups and showed higher correlations with biomarker data compared to dietary sources alone.

Summary: Lactation is associated with a reduced risk of cardiometabolic disease among women who have given birth, but the mechanisms behind this association are still unknown. The potential protective effects of lactation on cardiometabolic risk markers in high-risk women with gestational diabetes are not yet established.

Summary: This study examined the use of dietary supplements (DS) in the US population from 2007-2018 using multiple assessment methods. The results showed an increase in the prevalence of DS use as well as micronutrient-containing DS use over time. The use of single-nutrient DS increased, while the use of multivitamin-mineral DS decreased. Different population subgroups showed variations in DS use.

Summary: There is mixed evidence on the relationship between dietary cost, diet quality, and socio-economic status. This study aimed to investigate the association between food-security status and dietary cost by comparing total cost, cost per gram, and cost per calorie of daily dietary intake among food-pantry clients. The findings showed inconsistent relationships and emphasized the importance of considering the metric of food cost and the unit of analysis.

Summary: This study introduces two new benchmark datasets, Food101-LT and VFN-LT, for addressing the class imbalance issue in food classification. A novel two-phase framework is proposed to improve the performance of food classification by undersampling the head classes and oversampling the tail classes. The proposed method achieves the best performance on both datasets and demonstrates its potential for real-life applications.

Summary: In this exploratory study, we did not identify any significant genetic variants associated with the recovery time of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with endogenous Cushing disease (CD) after remission. Although the BAG1 gene showed correlation with shorter duration of postsurgical adrenal insufficiency (AI), patients with BAG1 variants later experienced recurrence.
