Summary: This systematic review examined the effect of Pilates on health-related outcomes in individuals with increased fracture risk. The results suggest that Pilates may improve physical functioning and health-related quality of life, but its effects on falls, bone mineral density, fractures, and adverse events are uncertain.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to identify validated self-reported instruments used to measure nurses' competence in empowering patient education and assess their quality. The findings revealed that the psychometric properties and methodological quality of the instruments were generally adequate, but there was a lack of evidence and variability in testing. Thus, further testing of the psychometric properties and development of instruments should be conducted to strengthen nurses' competence in empowering patient education.

Summary: This review summarizes the literature on oncology patient education strategies specific to low- and middle-income countries to identify gaps in order to set priorities for future research. Results show limited research and heterogeneity in education approaches and evaluation in these countries. Further research is urgently needed to determine successful patient education and evaluation strategies to improve treatment outcomes.

Summary: Teriparatide has been shown to effectively reduce vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in post-menopausal and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in clinical trials. The real-world experience of Teriparatide confirms the benefits seen in clinical trials, with similar outcomes observed in male and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Limited experience has been reported in pre-menopausal osteoporosis or in using Teriparatide in combination with other therapies, and surveillance studies have not found any safety signals relating to Teriparatide and osteosarcoma. Additionally, there is evidence on predicting response to Teriparatide in order to guide its optimal use in therapy.

Summary: This study examined the effect of an educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior on osteoporosis prevention in postmenopausal women. The intervention successfully improved knowledge, behavior constructs, nutrition performance, and walking performance among participants. The experimental group showed an increase in lumbar spine bone mineral density T-score, while the control group showed a decrease. The theory of planned behavior can be used as a framework for designing educational interventions to prevent osteoporosis and promote women's health.

Summary: Research on DXA-BMD treatment monitoring tests has found a correlation between improved medication adherence during treatment and a subsequent reduction in fracture rates, but treatment adherence should be specifically addressed at the commencement of therapy for optimal fracture outcomes.

Summary: Sequential treatment of osteoporosis has gained attention, but a systematic review is lacking. This study aims to review and assess pharmacoeconomic studies of sequential treatment for osteoporosis. Ten high-quality articles were included in the review. Sequential treatments involving abaloparatide, romosozumab, denosumab, and bisphosphonates were cost-effective or dominant, while the sequential treatment with teriparatide was not. The updated CHEERS (2022) and ESCEO-IOF improve transparency, comparability, and the quality of research in health technology assessment.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of physical activity interventions combined with drug treatments on bone biomarkers in people with osteopenia and osteoporosis, but only one study met the eligibility criteria and no exhaustive conclusion could be drawn, highlighting the knowledge gap on combined treatments efficacy assessed by bone biomarkers.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that electroacupuncture as a treatment for osteoporosis showed positive effects in relieving pain and reducing serum beta-CTX levels. However, no significant impact was observed on serum PINP levels and lumbar BMD. Further rigorous studies are needed to address methodological shortcomings of existing evidence.

Summary: Patient education training enhances the performance of health professional students in patient education, with simulation-based learning appearing to be the most effective modality. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of pedagogically informed interventions across health professions using objective approaches.
