Summary: This study examined changes in cognitive control-related brain activation in adolescents over a four-year period, finding that fronto-parietal activation decreased over time while rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) activation increased. Improved behavioral performance was associated with lower fronto-parietal activation, but changes in behavior were not related to changes in brain activation.

Summary: The study revealed the importance of phonological memory in reading development, with verbal short-term memory directly predicting early word-level reading and a bidirectional relationship between nonword repetition and reading. Over the 5-year study, phonological memory stimulates detailed phonemic representations through repeated encoding of complex verbal stimuli, while improved reading ability promotes phoneme-level specificity of phonological representations.

Summary: Accurate assessment of factors influencing satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty is crucial for improving surgical outcomes. This study found that pain and complications were the strongest negative factors affecting satisfaction, while physical activity and the Knee Society Score had a positive impact on satisfaction.

Summary: This study found significant differences in the gut microbiota of constipated women of reproductive age compared to healthy controls, with an increase in Bacteroides and a decrease in Proteobacteria. The overall composition of the gut microbiota was also different, as reflected in the ratios of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B), which were lower in the constipated group. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in butyrate-producing bacteria in constipated women.

Summary: The study found that postmenopausal Black women have similar rates of bone loss compared to White women, with lower weight women experiencing greater declines in bone density and microstructure at the radius. Women who lost weight during the follow-up period had higher rates of bone loss, particularly at the tibia, while higher baseline total body fat mass was protective against bone loss.

Summary: Bisphosphonates not only strongly inhibit bone resorption, but also negatively affect bone formation, limiting the ability to initiate bone formation. This study reveals a possible mechanism for impeding the recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells, which in turn impacts the process of bone formation.

Summary: The prevalence of osteoporosis in older adults is high, but current clinical methods fail to detect most fragility fracture cases. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) provides additional information about bone density and structure, but interpretation is challenging. In this study, the authors identified common bone phenotypes associated with fracture risk using HR-pQCT data from a multinational cohort. They found that different phenotypes had significantly different fracture risks and identified imaging biomarkers for fractures within each phenotype.

Summary: The study found that patients treated with bisphosphonates had fewer quiescent pores/osteons compared to placebo-treated patients, indicating that new cortical remodeling events need to be activated. Additionally, the contribution of eroded pores in the resorption-reversal phase was higher in bisphosphonate-treated patients, while the contribution of mixed eroded-formative pores and formative pores was lower in these patients compared to placebo.

Summary: This study developed a fracture risk assessment tool based on high-resolution peripheral quantitative compute tomography (HR-pQCT) to evaluate patient-specific fracture risk. The tool, called mu FRAC, outperformed the current Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and models based on bone mineral density (BMD). It provides an alternative approach by utilizing direct measures of bone density and structure.

Summary: This article proposes a theoretical numerical model to predict patient dependent osteoporotic bone degradation. The model parameters are identified through a particle swarm optimization algorithm and based on individual patient high resolution peripherical quantitative computer tomography (HRpQCT) scan data. The degradation model is based on cellular activity initiated by the elastic strain energy developed in the bone microstructure through patient's body weight. The macro and meso scale analyses are carried out and compared with in-vivo experimental bone degradation for four elderly women over a period of 10 years, showing a significant correlation and low average deviation error. The model can be easily extended to other patients and provide accurate predictions for different population categories.

Summary: miRNAs are potential prognostic markers in bone diseases, regulating gene expression as epigenetic factors. This study aims to identify circulating miRNAs associated with the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and found a miRNA signature in OI patients. The study validates the expression of specific miRNAs in OI patients and explores the relationship between miRNA expression and clinical characteristics of OI. The findings suggest a potential role of miRNAs in regulating the physiopathology of OI.
