Objective: Hereditary hypophosphatemic disorders such as X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are rare phosphate wasting disorders that cause abnormal bone mineralization, which manifests as bone deformities and dental problems. Pain, stiffness, and fatigue are the main symptoms reported by adult patients with XLH, interfering with their quality of life and activities of daily living. Here, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of pain and health related quality of life in patients with XLH.

Vitamin D food fortification might be a solution, but knowledge is sparse on which food matrices yield the highest bioavailability. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different food matrices including complex formations with whey proteins on the human bioavailability of vitamin D.

Demonstration of blood-metabolome rhythmicity of vitamin D3 post-dosing effects is lacking in the pharmaco-metabonomics area. Thus, the overall aim of this study was to investigate the diurnal changes in the blood metabolome and how these are affected by vitamin D3 supplementation.

Design: A randomized crossover study with at least 10 days for washout between the two interventions, 500 ml of water with 200 µg of cholecalciferol or 500 ml of semi-skimmed milk containing approximately 600 mg of calcium with 200 µg of cholecalciferol.
Content: Ketone bodies, in particular 3-hydroxybutyrate (3OHB), are known to possess important energetic and signaling capacities. There is a growing block of evidence, that ketogenic dieting (KD), fasting, and sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) treatment are associated with hyperparathyroidism and negative bone health.
Objective: We aimed to study the effect of exogenous 3OHB administration on bone metabolism, specifically the effect on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium/phosphate homeostasis.
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been associated with negative effects on bone. Whether this association is affected by pre-surgical type 2 diabetes (T2D) and surgically induced diabetes remission is unknown.
Methods: In this cross-sectional, matched cohort study 6 years after RYGB, we investigated bone health in 96 individuals with body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m and T2D (stratified on current diabetes status) treated by RYGB 6 years earlier compared with 49 non-operated individuals with T2D matched with respect to sex, age, and current BMI.
Objective: Following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels potentially harmful to bone health are commonly observed. Owing to assumed superior absorption, calcium citrate is often recommended over calcium carbonate following RYGB for the treatment of elevated PTH. We aimed to investigate the impact of either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate (1200 mg elementary calcium) in patients with elevated PTH levels following RYGB.

Background. In 1998, Denmark introduced the flex job scheme to ensure employment of people with a permanent reduced work capacity. This study investigated the association between select diagnoses and the risk of disability pension among persons eligible for the scheme.
