Key sessions focusing on osteoporosis therapy presented at the 26th World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases, Prague, Czech Republic.
6 May, 26Pediatrics
- Vit C deficiency caused severe PH with RV dysfunction and high NT proBNP in 4 children.
- Presented with musculoskeletal symptoms or cardiorespiratory failure; scurvy signs aided diagnosis.
- Vit C therapy led to rapid recovery, complete resolution by 3 months; sildenafil alone ineffective.
- Important to consider this diagnosis in children with restricted diets and unexplained PH.
5 May, 26BMC Infect. Dis.
- Levofloxacin was effective in 82 children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP), with rapid fever resolution (1.96 ± 1.52 days).
- Blood counts remained stable; WBC, neutrophils, platelets unchanged (P > 0.05).
- AST, LDH, CK‑MB, creatinine, urea decreased after treatment (P < 0.05), indicating no liver/kidney injury.
- Mild adverse reactions; no serious events or sequelae during 12‑month follow‑up.
5 May, 26Diabetic Med.
- In 166 hospitalized T2DM patients on basal-bolus insulin, AKI reduced time in range (TIR) by 7.3%-points, driven by increased time above range, with no TBR change
- Each 100 μmol/L creatinine rise lowered TIR by 7.6%-points, AKI increased in-hospital mortality ~10-fold, along with ICU referral, & doubled 30-day readmission risk
- Hyperglycemia is also a key concern that should be addressed in these patients.
4 May, 26Heart Rhythm.
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases risk of stroke and cognitive decline; in 19,533 participants, cognitive impairment occurred in 27% no AF/no stroke, 41% no AF/stroke, 31% AF/no stroke, 43% AF/stroke (p<0.0001)
- Females with AF/no stroke had higher risk (HR 1.18), stroke predicted cognitive decline in males with AF (HR 2.33) & without AF (HR 1.65)
- Sex-specific differences underscore tailored risk stratification.
