A Canadian study in Osteoporosis International suggests that Celiac disease is associated with major osteoporotic fracture independent of fracture risk assessment tool score. During the study, the proportion of people in each cohort who experienced one or more major osteoporotic fractures was the same - 8.4% -- even though the celiac disease group was younger, with a greater proportion of men.

According to a new randomized study from Australia, consuming more milk, cheese, or yogurt might be a simple, low-cost way to boost bone health and prevent some falls and fractures in older people living in long-term care facilities. The researchers randomized 60 old-age institutions to provide residents with their usual menus or a diet with more milk, cheese, or yogurt, for 2 years.

Yao Lu et.al. conducted a study to analyze and compare the clinical and functional outcomes of distal tibia fractures treated with intramedullary nailing using the suprapatellar and infrapatellar surgical approaches. The researchers concluded that in the treatment of distal tibia fractures, the suprapatellar intramedullary nailing technique is associated with a significantly higher functional outcome, lower knee pain, and lower rate of fracture deformity than the infrapatellar intramedullary nailing technique.

K. Vanhaverbeke et.al. conducted a study to provide an overview of imaging techniques for detecting lung abnormalities in patients with Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in all age ranges. The researchers concluded that Several imaging and scoring methods indicate that lung imaging continues to play a role in Bronchopulmonary dysplasia care. Standardization and correlation with functional and clinical outcomes will become increasingly important for further research.

Fanqin Wei et.al. conducted a study to to develop an effective method of reducing metal artifacts in cochlear implant electrodes. The researchers concluded that the combination of single-energy metal artifact reduction with multi-planar reconstruction and maximum intensity projection is beneficial for evaluating the position and number of cochlear implant electrodes.

A clinical trial suggests that people with knee osteoarthritis who take daily turmeric capsules feel less pain in the knee joint than their peers who don't take this supplement. "The moderate effect we found in our trial from a short-term study is reassuring for turmeric as a treatment option," said senior study author Dr Benny Eathakkttu Antony of the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia.

Daniel G. Whitney et.al. conducted a study to determine prevalence of major noncommunicable diseases in young adults with pediatric-onset disabilities and compared it in adults without pediatric onset disabilities. The researchers found that young adults with pediatric onset disabilities showed an early onset of several noncommunicable diseases. They were contributors to global and national burden of disease and mortality.

In patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), a once-daily oral regimen of ibrutinib and venetoclax was associated with deep molecular remissions in both bone marrow and peripheral blood, including in patients with high-risk disease, according to investigators in phase 2 CAPTIVATE MRD trial.

Georgios Tsakonas et.al. conducted a study to understand the alterations in gene expression in brain metastasis versus primary tumour as it may increase aggressiveness and impair therapeutic efforts. The researchers concluded identified a unique gene downregulation pattern in brain metastases compared with primary tumours. This finding may explain the lower intracranial efficacy of systemic therapy, especially immunotherapy, in brain metastasis of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer.

As many as half of patients diagnosed with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer will see their cancer spread to their brain. Though brain metastases, or "Brain Mets," are rare, they are exceedingly difficult to treat, so these patients experience poor outcomes. At this year’s ASCO meeting, Dr. Nancy Lin of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute presented promising results from the HER2CLIMB trial for these patients. In this video BCRF talks with Dr. Lin about her research focus, Brain Mets, and HER2CLIMB’s findings.

Stavros Stamiris et.al. presented a case of a 42-year-old male who presented to the emergency department of our military hospital with reported mild low back pain, associated with numbness in his right leg below the knee, and ipsilateral complete foot drop that occurred during a military march. The case underlines the need for a high index of suspicion when dealing with cases of acute peroneal palsy without any accompanying symptoms.

Rebecca A. Castro et.al. presented a case of three patients with chronic cough. Attempted treatments included a trigger reduction approach, laryngopharyngeal reflux control with a plant-based Mediterranean style diet, and medications for NCC, all of which failed to resolve cough symptoms. Examination revealed one strand of hair within the ear canal with one end on the tympanic membrane and another on the anterior canal floor within the potential distribution of Arnold's nerve reflex sensory afferents.
