Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Denosumab (DEN) versus Zoledronic acid (ZOL) in treating patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).
Methods: In this study, 128 OVCF patients who underwent PKP in our hospital from June 2019 to August 2022 were selected and randomized into a DEN group treated with DEN and a ZOL group treated with ZOL. Bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism, pain, and lumbar mobility were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the anterior vertebral height and local kyphotic angle were measured. Finally, the one-year refracture rate and treatment cost were counted.
Results: The two groups showed no notable difference in pain, lumbar mobility, anterior vertebral height, and local kyphotic angle after treatment (P>0.050). BMD was higher in the DEN group at 6 and 12 months after treatment, while b isomer of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (b-CTX) was lower (P<0.050). No statistical inter-group difference was identified in the one-year re-fracture rate (P>0.050), while the total treatment cost was lower in the DEN group compared with ZOL group (P<0.050).
Conclusions: DEN and ZOL effectively improve the prognosis of OVCF patients after PKP, but DEN can more significantly improve BMD and bone metabolism with higher economic benefits.

Objectives: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for food residue in the esophagus before POEM and evaluate the necessity of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and cleansing the day before POEM.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.
Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.

Purpose: This large-scale study presents the clinicopathological characteristics and cumulative incidence of contralateral breast cancer (CBC) in Japanese BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers, including cases diagnosed after the implementation of national insurance coverage.
Methods: We analyzed 2949 breast cancer cases from the registry database of the Japanese Organization of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer.
Results: BRCA1 carriers predominantly developed triple-negative breast cancer, whereas BRCA2 carriers more frequently developed luminal-type tumors, with a younger age of onset observed in BRCA1 carriers.

Background: Models that actively involve people living with dementia and their relatives as well as experts from various healthcare settings in research have not yet been implemented in the context of health services research in the German language. Such models are necessary to actively involve the perspectives of "co-researchers" and address topics pertaining to the everyday lives of people living with dementia and their relatives as well as individuals working in healthcare practice.
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a preliminary framework for joint research.
