Transient osteoporosis of the hip in pregnancy - a case series

Shlomi Toussia-Cohen et al.

Summary: This retrospective study examined women diagnosed with bilateral or unilateral transient osteoporosis of the hip during pregnancy or postpartum, and compared the outcomes of normal vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. The results showed that women with transient osteoporosis of the hip had advanced maternal age, low body mass index, family history of osteoporosis, and a high prevalence of smoking and in-vitro fertilization pregnancies. Transient osteoporosis of the hip was bilateral in 25% of cases and presented postpartum in 50% of cases. There was no significant difference in maternal outcomes between normal vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. Increased awareness of this potential diagnosis during pregnancy and postpartum may improve patient management and outcomes.

Crosstalk within a brain-breast-bone axis regulates mineral and skeletal metabolism during lactation

Diana Athonvarangkul et al.

Summary: A coordinated physiological response occurs during lactation to support increased calcium demands for milk production. This involves the interaction between the hypothalamus, mammary gland, and skeleton, allowing for adequate calcium delivery to milk while protecting maternal skeletal health. Understanding the regulators of bone loss during lactation may provide insights into new therapies for osteoporosis and other diseases of excess bone loss.

Nutritional and physical activity issues in frailty syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic

Maria Chiara Massari et al.

Summary: 'Frailty' is a state of increased vulnerability caused by impairment of homeostasis due to stress. Frail individuals are more likely to experience significant health decline and have a higher risk of adverse outcomes such as osteoporosis, falls, and disability. Frailty is becoming increasingly important due to global population aging. The pathophysiology of frailty involves cumulative molecular and cellular damage and is partially independent of aging but closely related. Uncorrected nutrition and sedentary behavior worsen frailty.

Pregnancy and Lactation-Associated Osteoporosis Successfully Treated with Romosozumab: A Case Report

Yoichi Kaneuchi et al.

Summary: Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare type of premenopausal osteoporosis affecting women mainly in the third trimester or after delivery. The exact cause and treatment of PLO are not well understood. This report presents the first case of a patient with PLO treated with romosozumab, following 4 months of teriparatide treatment. After romosozumab treatment for 12 months, the patient experienced significant increases in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip, with no subsequent fractures. Romosozumab shows promise as a therapeutic option for improving bone mineral density and reducing fracture risk in patients with PLO.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency has adverse effects on both skeletal and extra-skeletal health. The optimal level of vitamin D remains a subject of debate. Observational studies suggest a link between low vitamin D levels and increased infection risk and cardiovascular events, but intervention studies have not shown clear benefits on these outcomes. Pregnancy supplementation with vitamin D reduces the risk of certain complications. The role of vitamin D in neurodegenerative diseases is still unclear. Vitamin D supplementation may have a marginal effect on overall mortality risk, particularly in elderly individuals with low vitamin D levels.

Summary: Primary osteoporosis is the most common cause of sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs), which typically present as lower back or buttock pain after a ground-level fall or without an identified trauma. Diagnosis may be delayed due to nonspecific symptoms, making a high index of suspicion necessary, particularly in high-risk patients. Computed tomography (CT) shows sclerosis of cancellous bone in the sacral ala, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive. Treatment options depend on symptom severity, fracture displacement, and pelvic instability.

Hormonal regulation of mammary gland development and lactation

Fadil M. Hannan et al.

Summary: Lactation is crucial for the health of both infants and mothers, and is regulated by reproductive and metabolic hormones. The development of mammary glands and synthesis of milk are closely related to hormonal functions, which are stimulated by infant suckling. After weaning, there is a large-scale cell loss in the glands leading to involution. The hormonal composition of human milk also has effects on infant health and development. Additionally, endocrine and metabolic diseases, labor interventions, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals can cause lactation insufficiency.

Summary: Recommendations for managing glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in adult patients on long-term glucocorticoid treatment include supplementation with calcium and vitamin D, using bisphosphonates or denosumab as first-line treatments, and considering teriparatide for high fracture risk patients. Denosumab is recommended in cases of severe renal insufficiency, and specific osteologic treatment should be avoided during pregnancy. Re-evaluation after 3-5 years of treatment or after discontinuation of long-term glucocorticoid treatment is advised.

Bone Mineral Density Changes Associated With Pregnancy, Lactation, and Medical Treatments in Premenopausal Women and Effects Later in Life

Nelson B. Watts et al.

Summary: Bone mineral density changes throughout life, with rapid increase during adolescence, plateauing in the third decade of life, and age-related decline afterwards. Menopausal women experience accelerated bone loss and increased fracture risk, while between peak bone mass and menopause, BMD remains stable and fracture risk is low. Pregnancy, lactation, and certain medications can temporarily affect BMD, potentially influencing fracture risk in the long term.

Maternal Diet, Nutritional Status, and Birth-Related Factors Influencing Offspring's Bone Mineral Density: A Narrative Review of Observational, Cohort, and Randomized Controlled Trials

Daria Masztalerz-Kozubek et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests that bone health may be programmed early in life, with factors such as maternal nutrition during the prenatal period influencing offspring's skeletal development and osteoporosis risk. Maternal vitamin D status, diet in pregnancy, anthropometry, and birth weight appear to impact bone mineral density, though additional factors like subsequent growth may play a role. Further well-designed studies are needed to address the ambiguity of current results.
